Plants hold ancient wisdom from "summary" of The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby
Plants, according to certain indigenous traditions, possess a deep well of knowledge that predates human understanding. They are beings that have evolved over millions of years, adapting to their environments with a level of intelligence that far surpasses our own. The idea that plants hold ancient wisdom may seem far-fetched to some, but when we consider the intricate ways in which they interact with their surroundings, it becomes clear that there is more to these organisms than meets the eye. In the Amazon rainforest, for example, indigenous shamans have long used plant medicines to heal both physical and spiritual ailments. These healers believe that plants are not merely sources of chemicals that can be extracted and synthesized for medical use, but living beings with whom they can communicate on a profound level. Through the ingestion of certain plants, these shamans claim to be able to tap into a reservoir of knowledge that has been passed down through generations, allowing them to access insights that are beyond the scope of ordinary human perception. The notion that plants possess wisdom is not limited to indigenous cultures. In fact, modern science is beginning to uncover evidence that supports this idea. Studies have shown that plants are capable of communicating with each other through chemical signals, forming complex networks that allow them to share information about threats such as insect attacks or drought. This level of communication suggests a level of intelligence and awareness that goes far beyond what we typically ascribe to plants. In light of these findings, it is worth considering the possibility that plants hold a kind of ancient wisdom that has been overlooked or dismissed by mainstream science. Perhaps there is more to the natural world than we have previously imagined, and by opening ourselves up to the possibility of plant intelligence, we may be able to gain new insights into the mysteries of life on Earth. The idea that plants possess ancient wisdom challenges us to rethink our relationship with the natural world and consider the possibility that there is much more to learn from the organisms that have been co-evolving with us for millions of years.
