{"quotes":[{"text":"We are often given pills or fluids to help remedy illness, yet little has been taught to us about the power of smell to do the exact same thing. It is known that the scent of fresh rosemary increases memory, but this cure for memory loss is not divulged by doctors to help the elderly. I also know that the most effective use of the blue lotus flower is not from its dilution with wine or tea – but from its scent. To really maximize the positive effects of the blue lily (or the pink lotus), it must be sniffed within minutes of plucking. This is why it is frequently shown being sniffed by my ancient ancestors on the walls of temples and on papyrus. Even countries across the Orient share the same imagery. The sacred lotus not only creates a relaxing sensation of euphoria, and increases vibrations of the heart, but also triggers genetic memory - and good memory with an awakened heart ushers wisdom.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["ailment","ancient-egyptians","ancient-medicine","awakened","awakened-heart","blue-lily","cure","cures","doctors","east","egypt","egyptians","elderly","enlightenment","euphoria","flower","flowers","fluids","genetic-memory","genetics","health","healthcare","heart","illness","illnesses","imagery-sacred","increaes-memory","lily","lotus","lotus-flower","medicine","memory","memory-loss","metaphysics","orient","papyrus","philosophy","physicians","pills","power","power-of-scent","power-of-smell","remedy","rosemary","sacred-lotus","scent","scripture","smell","smelling","tea","temples","tombs","treatment","vibrations","wine","wisdom"],"id":3575,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"I believe we inherit a great river of knowledge, a flow of patterns coming from many sources. The information that comes from deep in the evolutionary past we call genetics. The information passed along from hundreds of years ago we call culture. The information passed along from decades ago we call family, and the information offered months ago we call education. But it is all information that flows through us. The brain is adapted to the river of knowledge and exists only as a creature in that river. Our thoughts are profoundly molded by this long historic flow, and none of us exists, self-made, in isolation from it.","author":"David Brooks","tags":["genetics","information","knowledge","river"],"id":8964,"author_id":"David+Brooks"},{"text":"Adam \u0026 Eve have been degraded, reduplicated forever, photocopies of photocopies, mistakes copied, magnified, augmented.","author":"Johnny Rich","tags":["adam-and-eve","dna","genetics","genome","humankind","mankind"],"id":9946,"author_id":"Johnny+Rich"},{"text":"The platypus, as it turns out, derives its DNA from a menagerie of creatures.
