Humanity's perception of reality is evolving from "summary" of The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby
The idea that reality is more complex than we think is not new. Scientists have been saying this for decades. They have been telling us that reality is not what it seems. This is because our perception is limited. We only see a small part of the world around us. Our senses are not equipped to perceive all that is there. We need to use technology to help us see things that are invisible to the naked eye. But what if our perception of reality is not just limited by our senses? What if there is something more going on? This is the question that Jeremy Narby explores in his book "The Cosmic Serpent". He suggests that there is a deeper layer to reality that we are not aware of. This layer is hidden from us because it operates on a different level. It is a level that is beyond our normal senses. Narby believes that indigenous cultures have known about this hidden layer for centuries. They have tapped into it through the use of plant medicines. These medicines allow them to see things that are invisible to the naked eye. They can communicate with spirits and animals in ways that we cannot. This suggests that there is more to reality than meets the eye. Narby argues that our perception of reality is evolving. We are starting to see that there is more to the world than we previously thought. This is due in part to advances in technology. We can now see things at a microscopic level that were once invisible to us. We can also see things at a cosmic level that were once beyond our grasp. But it is not just technology that is expanding our perception. It is also our willingness to listen to other ways of knowing. Indigenous cultures have a lot to teach us about the world. They have knowledge that has been passed down through generations. We can learn from them if we are open to it.- Narby's exploration of reality challenges us to think differently about the world around us. It pushes us to consider that there may be more going on than we previously thought. This is an exciting idea that has the potential to change how we see ourselves and our place in the universe.
