Tony Wright’s research forms the basis for his book ‘Return to the Brain of Eden. It becomes clear that regenerative nutrition is an essential component of reclaiming our original and pristine sense of self.
‘Our ancestral symbiotic host for 50 million years, the reproductive system of the angiosperms built us a cosmological looking glass so highly polished that we could see our true reflection in it. The relationship was based on the ingestion of swollen ovaries, think about that for a minute or two. The hormonal impact re-arranged the cellular and sub-cellular architecture of our ancient mammalian neural system creating a flawless perceptual lens of such high resolution it could know the nature of reality itself. When the relationship broke down the lens cracked and began shattering into billions of individual neuronal shards. Our ancestors slowly became more perceptually and profoundly blind without very powerful treatments. They left us accounts of the perceptual trauma they suffered in losing connection with their divine source and a raft of treatments that could offer relief from the symptoms of perceptual darkness. Without repairing our perceptual lens and restoring at least a glimpse of light we risk being lost forever as the structural failure of our perceptual lens continues to accelerate.
A rough sketch and links to current research that suggests our neural system is still capable of a radically different kind of function when sufficiently stimulated.’
‘Our ancestral neural technology was orders of magnitude greater than pretty much anything we can imagine today. The perceptual equipment our ancestral sense of self was facilitated by was the culmination of incredibly rare circumstances. Our new brain was created in a symbiotic hybrid reproductive system and grown slowly, layer by layer in a state of perpetual gestation.
Its emergence had more in common with growing a flawless pearl or crystal than classic adaptive selection.
The end result was a huge mass of undifferentiated neural cells that had the capacity to behave in a very different way to our early neural system and induce a perceptual state that is impossible to even begin to comprehend unless you have experienced what today we call a perceptually altered state.
Basically all the expansion happened in the forest. Evidence for our non forest dwelling ancestors are simply examples of post symbiotic refugees that attempted to survive and eventually speciate with the intelligence the symbiotic gestation in the forest womb provided, all the while their new neural tissue was slowly maturing and atrophying.
The crucial difference is that our massive new brain was not more of the same, quite clearly size alone is hardly a measure of intelligence or individually we would be one of 7 billion geniuses.
The trait that set these kind of symbiotic perceptual systems apart was the uniform structure of the neural tissue. Our new brain had more in common with fetal brain tissue and it is related to our giant fetal like traits that persist to some extent today. So think of our new brain as more of a jellyfish like proliferation of embryonic neural tissue without specific survival functions as they were already well catered for by our early mammalian brain.
So what could it do?
Well scientific data is pointing to quantum resonance (a term for something we don’t really understand but we are beginning to observe its properties) as the underlying ground state of biology. Specific sub-cellular structures and the substrate they provide for ordered or more crystalline forms of water appear to be part of the interface between reality as we think we know it and the infinite and mysterious reality that underlies it. Whatever the phenomena turns out to be it has been proposed as the spark of consciousness that seems to exist in even the most simple unicellular forms of life. It appears to be based on what are called coherent states, a kind of vibrating field that has properties more in common with the mysterious reality of quantum physics but that manifests or intrudes into the atomic or molecular world we recognise usually at the micro level.’
