À propos de cet audio

This adventure in science and imagination, which the Medical Tribune said might herald "a Copernican revolution for the life sciences", leads the listener through unexplored jungles and uncharted aspects of mind to the heart of knowledge. In a first-person narrative of scientific discovery that opens new perspectives on biology, anthropology, and the limits of rationalism, The Cosmic Serpent reveals how startlingly different the world around us appears when we open our minds to it.

It opened my mind to other perspectives and release blockages in my scientific education. I will read it again and again.

A must read absolute

Really enjoyed listening to jermeys journey as he describes his finding during his own research. I wish he would of gone into more detail of his own personal views.

Great Book

Loved this book, absolutely changed the way I look at nature. And I'm taking Rupert Sheldrakes morphogenetic field theory much more seriously,

Mind blowing

through my experiencing and readings, I had always wondered what the serpent represented. Same as for ancestors "from the seas".

I'm starting it a second time right away.

absolutely great.

Look, as much as I wanted to enjoy this book, I audibly groaned so many times that I almost didn't finish it. It's written by an Anthropologist, who thinks he knows more about the cultures he's studying than they do themselves, and he makes grandiose biological statements.

In one moment he's resolving to take Ayahuascaroes at their word with their experiences, then in the VERY NEXT MOMENT, moves right back to telling them what he actually thinks is happening. He can't keep it consistent, and he reaches as far as he possibly can. Rather than understand not everything is biologically deterministic, he attempts to fit an entire world model into a lense of biological determinism, and it's not even his field of study. I was open minded in the beginning, but this book is unbelievably bad. Avoid at all costs, it's bad brain rot.

I enjoyed the the first 1/2 and some of the end.
A good story but tries too hard to use science to explain something without the tools or knowledge to make it credible

Trying too hard to explain the unexplainable
