And this whole transformation was made possible by this encounter with death
That mother ayahuasca gave me
That leads me to ask what is death?
In our materialist science reduces everything to matter and materialist science in the West says that we are just meat, we are just our bodies
So when the brain is dead that is the end of consciousness there is no life after death, thеre is no soul we just rot and our gone
But actually many honеst scientists should admit that consciousness is the greatest mystery of science
That we don't know exactly how it works
The brains involved in it in some way but we are 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 is more like the relationship of the TV signal to the TV set
In that case, when the TV set is broken of course the TV signal continues
And this is the paradigm
Of all the spiritual traditions

[Chorus]
We are immortal souls, temporarily incarnated
In these physical forms
To learn and to grow
We are immortal souls, temporarily incarnated
In these physical forms
To learn and to grow

And to develop
And really if we want to know about this mystery the last people we should ask
They're materialist, reductionist, scientist
They have nothing to say on the matter at all
Let's go rather to the ancient Egyptians who put their best minds to work for 3000 years
On the problem of death and on the problem how we should live our lives to prepare for what we will
Confront after death
And the ancient Egyptians expressed their ideas in transcendent art which still touches us emotionally today and they came to certain very specific conclusions
That the soul does survive death, and that we will be held accountable
For every thought, every action, every deed we have lived through in our lives that we better take this precious opportunity to be born in the human body, seriously
[Chorus]
We are immortal souls, temporarily incarnated
In these physical forms
To learn and to grow
We are immortal souls, temporarily incarnated
In these physical forms
To learn and to grow

[Chorus by Akira The Don]
We are immortal souls, temporarily incarnated
In these physical forms
To learn and to grow
We are immortal souls, temporarily incarnated
In these physical forms
To learn and to grow
