Quest #4 ->Exploring Ayahuasca’s Cosmic Serpent, with Jeremy Narby

Welcome to 3 Brothers Quest #4! 
QUEST GUEST 
Author of “The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge,” “Intelligence in Nature,” and co-editor of Shamans Through Time (with Francis Huxley), Jeremy Narby is an anthropologist who has been working as Amazonian Projects Coordinator for the Swiss NGO “Nouvelle Planète” since 1990. “I began working as an activist and fundraiser for Indigenous initiatives in the Amazon, and as an independent anthropologist I also tried to make sense of the Amazonian point of view. So this led me some 25 years ago to start looking into domains like biology, botany, and neurology. At the time it was already clear that biology confirms human kinship with other species and that all living beings are genetically related. Scientists were starting to document intelligent behavior in all kinds of living organisms. The more science looked at the intricacies of the natural world, the more intelligence it seemed to find.This encouraged me to look into intelligence in nature, a subject that concerned both science and Indigenous knowledge. In the early 2000s, I interviewed scientists in different countries who were working on this subject, only to find that there was a basic problem with words.” Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.

Quest #3 ->Uncovering the World’s Secret History, with Mark Booth

Welcome to 3 Brothers Quest #3! 
QUEST GUEST 
Author of “The Secret History of the World,” “The Sacred History: How Angels, Mystics, and Higher Intelligence Made our World,” and other books, Mark Booth specializes in researching and writing about the history of the esoteric. “As a publisher, I'm always trying to find that thing that has never been said before, a new use of language that fizzes and crackles on the page, to give a voice to people who haven't had a voice before,” Booth explains. “I'm fascinated by the new technology and the changes in consciousness that come with it. Because I work…at the commercial end of the business, I always look for clarity. I also find ideas for books often come to me as jokes. I think, ‘Wouldn't it be funny if someone published a book called this' - and then 'Why not?' If a book is going to annoy a lot of people, it is - in my experience - probably a good idea.” Our 3BQ conversation with Mark Booth explores the significance of the “mystery schools’ in Western history – their raison d’etre, influence, and what it may have felt like to be a participant in an ancient mystery school. Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.

Quest #2 ->Revealing the Goddess Myth, with Anne Baring

Welcome to 3 Brothers Quest #2! 
QUEST GUEST 
Author of “The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest of the Soul,” “The Divine Feminine: Exploring the Feminine Face of God Throughout the World,” “The Myth of the Goddess: The Evolution of an Image,” and many other books, Anne Baring is a writer, publisher, thinker, and spiritual mystic. “I have always been fascinated by the power of individuals to shape and influence history,” she muses. “Why do people feel, think and act the way they do? What is the anatomy of human creativity and human destructiveness — the root of the invisible influences, both individual and collective, which can both create and destroy civilization? I wanted to understand the causes – religious, political and psychological – which could drive human beings to the depths of depravity and the heights of altruism and self-sacrifice. How are we conditioned by beliefs and habits of behavior to respond to events in the way we do?” Our 3BQ conversation with Anne Baring brings visuals to the fore, as she narrates the shift away from the Divine Feminine and towards the Divine Masculine in a beautifully narrated slide show based on her decades of research and writing. Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.
QUEST MAP
“The Dream of the Cosmos,” Anne Baring observes of her book, “is the story of a multi-layered quest to understand the causes of human suffering and to reconnect with a deeper reality than the one we inhabit in this physical dimension of experience. It seeks to answer the questions: ‘Who are we?’ and ‘Why are we here, on this planet?’ It is offered to those who are looking for something beyond the superficial values of our culture, who may be disillusioned with religious and secular belief systems as currently presented and who question political values, which are deeply mired in the pursuit of power.” Visit https://www.annebaring.com for more information and resources on your quest.

Renowned for his ability to “surface” broad historical patterns and integrate the nuances and complexities of human history, Lent’s ability to synthesize the human experience is provocative and profound. Our 3BQ conversation with Jeremy Lent explores the roots of his thinking re: the patterning instinct, the human ability to make meaning through symbolic language, the relationship between West and East, and the impact of modern science on the human experience. Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.

Quest Intro -> Meet 3BQ co-founders Michael, Ian, and Philip Baldwin

Welcome to 3 Brothers Quest!
QUEST GUESTS
We three Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip - were born immediately before, during, and after World War II. Over time, the war and its mythos brought us together in a quest to comprehend the root causes of human cruelty. Also, the pronounced post-war disrespect and disregard for nature – the wellspring of our identity as beings here on Earth – ignited in us a passion to understand the root causes of this peculiarly unique aspect of our human condition. (as quoted from www.3brothersquest.net home page.)
QUEST MAP
Humans did not begin to organize themselves in civilizations because they suddenly discovered agriculture a few thousand years ago. Nor did civilization begin at Sumer. Our future is clouded because our understanding of the past is misinformed and thus obscure to us. We are cut off from our origin stories. As evidence emerges that human civilizations existed before and during the end of the last ice age, 11,000 years ago, we remain blind to this emerging reality. As well, we ignore the challenges such evidence might pose to our current worldview, which permits war and ecocide to relentlessly continue. 
 If humans possessed highly sophisticated astronomical, botanical, mechanical, and psycho-spiritual understanding 15,000 or more years ago, what might become today of our myth of “progress”? Of our perceived invincibility?
 Despite their differences, the great religions of our world have been united by one profound concern and value: human kindness, compassion, and love. To this day, indigenous cultures possess complex cosmologies that point to the same wisdom. 
 Why have these religions failed us for most of history, and especially now, in our so-called modern or “scientific” times? 
 How might the ultimate values of our world religions and the varied cosmologies of our world’s indigenous tribes be reinvigorated to guide us in our struggle to change our behavior toward one other and to nature? 
 We explore these two questions through our conversations here at Three Brothers Quest.
