I just thought you might like to see my interpretation of Jacob 5. It works as a history of earth's people, but it also works to describe the individual neurons in the human brain:

Jacob 5
For this one I want to not only look at hive minds but look at the whole allegory as a parable about a single mind, where applicable. Neurons can be like trees where the soil is everywhere in the brain.
Jacob 5:1 – “my brethren, do ye not remember to have read the words of the prophet Zenos, which he spake unto the house of Israel, saying:” We don’t know Zenos. The House of Israel is a hive mind or a smart part of the brain.
Jacob 5:2 – The House of Israel or the smart part of the brain should tune in.
Jacob 5:3 – An olive tree is a special tree. It bears olives. Israel grows and the smart part of the brain grows. But a tree and a brain get old and begin to decay.
Jacob 5:4 – “I will prune it, and dig about it, and nourish it, that perhaps it may shoot forth young and tender branches, and it perish not.” The House of Israel and the brain will get a chance to rejuvenate with new connections, new space to grow, and healthier cells/people.
Jacob 5:5 – So that was or would be able to happen.
Jacob 5:6 – The House of Israel and the brain made good new connections, but the part that grows out the most was ultimately stifled.
Jacob 5:7 – But the Lord has a plan and the top would be removed and destroyed. Also, he brought wild, or ordinary connections to the tree. This is mixing with gentiles or mixing with other parts of the brain.
Jacob 5:8 – The good stuff goes elsewhere so it’s growth can be preserved. This is like scattering Israel or learning to use a different part of the brain.
Jacob 5:9 – So the original smart part or originally smart house of Israel had ordinary parts or ordinary people put into it and the stuff that was removed would have to die. In the brain, the cells would gradually die out and with the house of Israel it is gradual too.
Jacob 5:10 – Narrative that it happened.
Jacob 5:11 – The Lord rehearsed unto His servant why He did this. That is like the conscious part of the brain exercising its brain to follow its will.
Jacob 5:12 – The tree would be watched to see if anything was needed.
Jacob 5:13 – Rehearsal.
Jacob 5:14 – Narrative that it happened.
Jacob 5:15 – After a long time away or the brain transformed the consciousness or the leader went to check up on this.
Jacob 5:16 – “Behold, look here; behold the tree.” They looked at the house of Israel or the original smart part.
Jacob 5:17 – By working with the regular people or neurons, the house of Israel or the smart part of the brain brought forth good fruit. This was done, if you’ll remember, to handle strong thinking that was getting old by mixing it with regular thinking that was new.
Jacob 5:18 – The scattered house of Israel or the newly learning part of the brain had much “moisture” or vitality.
Jacob 5:19 – They decided to check the worst part of the world or the brain where they had put the best but old branches.
Jacob 5:20 – The Lord was able to get good fruit. That meant good works of the House of Israel or an effective brain.
Jacob 5:21 – “And it came to pass that the servant said unto his master: How comest thou hither to plant this tree, or this branch of the tree? For behold, it was the poorest spot in all the land of thy vineyard.” It was wondered why the worst place to grow produced so much.
Jacob 5:22 – The Lord or the consciousness knew what it was doing.
Jacob 5:23 – An even poorer spot worked even better.
Jacob 5:24 – Another spot had it occur.
Jacob 5:25 – “And he said unto the servant: Look hither and behold the last. Behold, this have I planted in a good spot of ground; and I have nourished it this long time, and only a part of the tree hath brought forth tame fruit, and the other part of the tree hath brought forth wild fruit; behold, I have nourished this tree like unto the others.” There was something wrong with the competition between the two grounds or areas.
Jacob 5:26 – The non-functional part of the brain must be destroyed or it could spread like a cancer. The same with the House of Israel (or the gentiles).
Jacob 5:27 – They wanted to give it a chance to grow a little while longer.
Jacob 5:28 – The whole world and the whole brain were exercised.
Jacob 5:29 – After a while the season was ending and the good and bad would have to be separated.
Jacob 5:30 – “And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard and the servant went down into the vineyard; and they came to the tree whose natural branches had been broken off, and the wild branches had been grafted in; and behold all sorts of fruit did cumber the tree.” The original place had all sorts of fruit.
Jacob 5:31 – So the braininess of the House of Israel brought forth much fruit when combined with the gentiles.
Jacob 5:32 – And yet, none of it was good.
Jacob 5:33 – “And the Lord of the vineyard said unto the servant: What shall we do unto the tree, that I may preserve again good fruit thereof unto mine own self?” So the Lord said to Jesus, or consciousness sought through mental exercise, what more could be done?
Jacob 5:34 – “And the servant said unto his master: Behold, because thou didst graft in the branches of the wild olive tree they have nourished the roots, that they are alive and they have not perished; wherefore thou beholdest that they are yet good.” Those roots weren’t bad. Roots are always helpful when you want to know where you are coming from.
Jacob 5:35 – “And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard said unto his servant: The tree profiteth me nothing, and the roots thereof profit me nothing so long as it shall bring forth evil fruit.” But what difference does it make if there’s no good fruit? Fruit is like a new neuron connection. The fruit gets planted in the brain and grows a new neuron.
