To learn why the talk was banned, [see the story here](https://grahamhancock.com/ted-war-on-consciousness-hancock/) [The War on Consciousness - Graham Hancock](https://youtu.be/eOUWgtbIhgE) What is death? Our materialist science reduces everything to matter, materialist science in the West says that we are just meat, we’re just our bodies. So when the brain is dead, that’s the end of consciousness, there is no life after death, there is no soul; we just rot and are gone. Actually, many honest scientists should admit that consciousness is the greatest mystery of science and that we don’t know exactly how it works. The brain is involved in it some way but we’re not sure how. It could be that the brain generates consciousness the way a generator makes electricity, if you hold to that paradigm, then of course you can’t believe in life after death, when the generator’s broken, consciousness is gone. But it’s equally possible that the relationship — and nothing in neuroscience rules it out – that the relationship is more like the relationship of the TV signal to the TV set, and in that case, when the TV set is broken, of course the TV signal continues. And this is the paradigm of all spiritual traditions, that we are immortal souls temporarily incarnated in these physical forms. If we want to understand consciousness, the last people we should ask are materialist scientists. Instead, we should look at ancient cultures, like the Egyptians, who highly valued dream states. Many ancient cultures around the world used hallucinogenic plants to understand consciousness and expand their minds. However in today's society, visionary plants are highly illegal because they promote a state of consciousness that does not agree with the agenda of profit. Substances, like coffee, alcohol, sugar and pharmaceuticals, are forced upon the population, but possession of even small quantities of [cannabis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP15q815Saw&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=20&t=4s), [Ayahuasca](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaOfFixoxP8&t=0s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=55) or [psilocybin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81-v8ePXPd4&t=4s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=56) will land you in jail. If we do not recognize the right of adult sovereignty over [consciousness](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMr3gEreJOU&t=1s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=54), then [we can NOT claim to be free](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6uVV2Dcqt0&t=0s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=31). Look at [what our moderns state of consciousness has done](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s&t=0s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=3). We have destroyed the natural gifts of earth in pursuit of short-term, selfish gain. We must reconnect with spirit immediately [or else we will encounter disaster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX3M8Ka9vUA&t=171s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=51). Visionary plants could be [the remedy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUWaZ_wxhhg&t=9s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=57) for our current sickness.
