The Garden of Edén Issue #3 The Channel Theory and The New Brain.
Inputs and Outputs.
The ancient Egyptian Papyrus Ebers is one of the earliest known herbals with 700 spells and incantations. Some of the medicinal plants mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus include opium, cannabis, myrrh, frankincense, fennel, cassia, senna, thyme, henna, juniper, aloe, linseed, and castor oil. They were also familiar with drug preparation from plants and herbs such as cumin, caraway, safflower, glue, and pomegranates. Many herbs were steeped in wine, which was then drunk as an oral medicine, and this allowed the Channel Theory as praxis.
The Channel Theory and The New Brain relationship.
The Egyptians described in their research, a beautiful analogy that came from observing farmers. They Called it “The Channel theory” which puts into implementation the art of crop irrigation. Imagine we are a crop with channels for water and nutrients to flow, and this provides paths for good and healthy crops. When the channels are obstructed nothing comes through, making the crops ill. Both magicians and physicians who worked in the health and wellness field believe it and most likely where the Channel theory was first applied to the spirit and the body.
Recently we have been reading Richard Restak’s The New Brain: How the Modern Age Is Rewiring Your Mind, in his book he talks about Brain plasticity and takes notice of how thoughts, feelings, and actions determine the health of our brain and therefore the health of our body.
I can’t help but relate both concepts and apply them to our life, If we think in inputs and outputs, everything comes down to what we are consuming and how our brains and neurons are processing information (e.g food, visuals, sound, and sensorial experiences), and that, by changing the rhythm of life we have a huge impact on our mental and body health.
Technology, rather than biology, will play the major role in the evolution of the human brain.
What will be our next evolution and channels?
To go a bit further into the rabbit hole we recommend The spectacular film: Crimes of the Future ( available on MUBI ) the film reflects on how maybe in the future, humans will have to adapt to a synthetic environment (microplastics), with new transformations and mutations in our digestive and nervous systems.
Neuralink is a pioneer in this, as they are engineering the new brain.
And for our final recommendation, NeuroTropico’s recipe variation, using our potion Hanika Gold as an active ingredient.
We are always in the mood for exotic and new recipes, so we decided to try Tacacho, a traditional recipe from Putumayo in the Colombian Amazon.
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 45 minutes
A vegetarian dish
4-6 servings:
4 green bananas
3 spoons of quinoa
onions
Salt to taste
Pans
To cook the plantains: a pot with water, a satin or a grill or rotisserie
A bowl or container
A mallet or shredder
Peel the bananas and cut them into slices and boiled them in water for 30 min until soft then drained if necessary, put the bananas and crushed them with the help of the grinder or a mallet until they reach the appearance of a puree.
In a separate add 1 cup of water, 2 spoons of Hanika Gold potion, the quinoa, and the onion cut into small pieces, salt to taste, and let it cook till the water is gone.
Mix everything. Divide the seasoned banana dough into small, similar portions. Place each portion of the dough one by one in the palm of your hand and mold it into a sphere. Preheat oven to 180°C and cook for 15 min to give them greater consistency and form a kind of crust.
Remember that plants cure, heal and protect.
With all our love
