Jeremy Narby Talking About His Book "The Cosmic Serpent"

See The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby.

I got here because I thought about what I was saying in this video about how, if you know there is something there, then you can de-focus your gaze and see the pattern. Jeremy Narby elevated this to an epistemological strategy for his research in anthropology and an inquiry into how indigenous shamans learn, in other words, indigenous epistemology. See the book The Antipodes of the Mind: Charting the Phenomenology of the Ayahuasca Experience by Benny Shanon.

That "technique" was used by the Incas in reverse to look at the Sun. They had these things some people called Mirar al Sol which were disks of copper or sometimes silver with a long needle like a handle and they were pierced so that you could look into the reflection of the sun off water and watch the sunspots or CME's, I suppose. See The Hidden Language of Graphic Signs Edited by John Bodel and Stephen Houston:

Cuentan los Indios que un día de los nueve que la 20 fiesta duraba, con nueva libertad, de la que no solían tener de mirar al Sol (que les era prohibido, por parecerles desacato), el Inca Huayna Cápac puso los ojos en él, o cerca, donde el Sol lo permite; y estuvo así algún  espacio de tiempo mirándole. El Sumo Sacerdote, que  era uno de sus tíos, y estaba a su lado, le dijo: — ¿Qué  haces. Inca? ¿No sabes que no es lícito hacer eso?  El Rey, por entonces, bajó los ojos, mas dentro des poco, volvió a alzarlos con la misma libertad, y los puso en el Sol.

That explains my rant: Sharing Eleanor Goldberg's 9/11/2023 Breakdown November 11, 2023. See also Jeremy Narby's fellow Canadian Julie Nolke's latest sketch about granitos. And the video I was talking about which I edited was the one about the snakes, I think.
