The War on Consciousness - Graham Hancock

The video explores the contrast between materialist science's view of consciousness as a byproduct of the brain and ancient spiritual beliefs that consider consciousness as an immortal soul. It highlights the ancient Egyptians' understanding of death and their use of visionary plants. The video critiques modern society's limited acceptance of altered states of consciousness and its focus on problem-solving consciousness, which has led to global issues like pollution and hunger. It suggests that reconnecting with spiritual practices, such as those of Amazonian shamans, could address these issues and promote a more balanced state of consciousness.
