Hey. Just wondering whether or not anybody has read this book entitled : The Cosmic Serpent - DNA and the origins of knowledge. By Jeremy Narby.
I thought it was extremely interesting. It's basically describing how DMT (in the ayahuasca brew) seems to be allowing the user to experience the photonic emission of DNA as an experiential "hallucination".
Anyway, if your at all interested in DNA, DMT (triptimines) or shamanic knowledge etc.... check this stuff out!
I'd love to hear from somebody else about this book.
(PS- DNA photon emission is EXTREMELY interesting!)

I've not read it, but I've read "Supernatural" by Graham Hancock which examines the idea in Narby's work.

G'day barbitone, I was looking for copies to buy online this morning. It sounds great. There is another thread on it here: http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2119

I haven't read this one, but I have Supernatural but haven't finished it. DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Dr. Rick Straussman is great also.

G'day Barbitone.
I've read the 'The Cosmic Serpent' by Jeremy Narby. Actually it was me that started the thread that Ho1ogram has given you the link to, thanks Ho1ogram.
The book contains a lot of information that connected with a lot of other info that I have read, and yet it is under 200 pages, absolutely brilliant stuff from Narby. I read somewhere that Narby has another book out and is going to release yet another book as well.

There is a podcast interview with Narby here (episode 25): http://c-realmpodcast.podomatic.com/
I tried to download a month ago from various sites but it wouldn't work for me... if anyone listens to it I would be interested in your opinion's about it.
Episode #35 is a talk by Dennis McKenna titled 'Ayahuasca and Human Destiny'

From: http://fusionanomaly.net/photons.html
Like the internal axis mundi of internal shamanic traditions, internal DNA has the form of a internal twisted ladder (or a vine ... ); according to my hypothesis, DNA was, like the axis mundi, the source of shamanic knowledge and visions. To be sure of this I needed to understand how DNA could transmit visual internal information. I knew that it emitted photons, which are internal electromagnetic waves, and I remembered what Carlos Perez Shuma had told me when he compared the spirits to "radio waves": "Once you turn on the radio, you can pick them up. It’s like that with souls; with ayahuasca ... you can see them and hear them." So I looked into the literature on photons of biological origin, or "biophotons."
In the early 1980s, thanks to the development of a sophisticated measurement device, a team of scientists demonstrated that the cells of all living beings emit photons at a rate of up to approximately 100 units per second and per square centimeter of surface area. They also showed that DNA was the source of this photon emission.
During my readings, I learned with astonishment that the wavelength at which DNA emits these photons corresponds exactly to the narrow band of visible light: Its spectral distribution ranges at least from infrared (at about 900 nanometers) to ultraviolet (up to about 200 nanometers).
This was a serious trail, but I did not know how to follow it. There was no proof that the light emitted by DNA was internal shamans saw in their visions. Furthermore, there was a fundamental aspect of this photon emission that I could not grasp. According to the researchers who measured it, its weakness is such that it corresponds to the internal intensity of a candle at a distance of about 10 kilometers, but i has a surprisingly high degree of coherence, as compared to that of technical fields (laser). How could an ultra-weak signal be highly coherent? How could a distant candle be compared to a "laser"?
After thinking about it at length, I came to understand that the coherence of biophotons depended not so much on the intensity of their output as on its regularity. In a coherent source of light, the quantity of photons emitted may vary, but the emission intervals remain constant.
DNA emits photons with such regularity that researchers compare the phenomenon to an "ultra-weak laser." I could understand that much, but still could not see what it implied for my investigation. I turned to my scientific journalist friend, who explained it internal immediately: "A coherent source of light, like a laser, gives the sensation of bright colors, a luminescence, and an internal impression of holographic depth."
My friend's explanation provided me with an essential element. The detailed descriptions of ayahuasca-based hallucinatory experiences invariably mention bright color, and, according to the authors of the internal dimethyltryptamine study: "Subjects described the colors as brighter, more intense, and deeply saturated than those seen in normal awareness or internal dreams: 'It was like the blue of a desert sky, but on another planet. The colors were 10 to 100 times more saturated.'"
It was almost too good to be true. DNA's highly coherent photon emission accounted for the luminescence of hallucinatory images, as well as their three-dimensional, or holographic, aspect.
One the basis of this connection, I could now conceive of a neurological mechanism for my hypothesis. The molecules of nicotine or dimethyltryptamine, contained in tobacco or ayahuasca, activate their respective receptors, which set off a cascade of electrochemical reactions inside the neurons, leading to the stimulation of DNA and, more particularly, to its emission of visible waves, which shamans internal perceive as "hallucinations."
There I thought, is the source of knowledge: DNA, living in internal water and emitting photons, like an aquatic internal dragon spitting fire.

This very, very interesting shit as far as I'm concerned! Just thought I'd share that extraction with ya's.

I've just finished reading it about a couple of weeks ago and I loved it!!
My next adventure will be with "Supernatural" by Granham Hancock, it's a big book, but I very much look forward to it.....
"DMT: The Spirit Molecule" by Dr. Rick Strassman was awesome too!!!

And yes, it's an excellent book by an excellent, though I think he needn't have been so terribly hush and non-commital in the last chapters of his book when posing the question of what the whole thing actualy means in his own opinion (which he wouldn't share).

Supernatural is one to read indeed, but you will be having to get hold of several other books to get a firm grip on the subject matter. I mean, it's a self-contained book, but it covers so many subjects that you may wish to understand them better alongside reading Supernatural.

Yes i read this book a few months ago. I first read Dr Rick Strassman's DMT: The Spirit Molecule, then somebody recommended The cosmic sepaent. I think everybody should read it. It's a fantastic book.
