Consciousness and Civilization
The discussion dives into the mysteries surrounding the Mayan civilization's achievements and the enigma of human consciousness. Coleman highlights the lack of consensus on why humans possess consciousness, likening the current understanding to pre-Darwinian times. The conversation explores the idea that the brain may not be the source of consciousness, but rather a receiver, akin to a radio tuning into a universal frequency.In this clip

I just viewed your interview with Dr. David Berson and wondered what your position is on the brain's ability or inability to create consciousness. I have read articles from numerous neurologists and theories of ancient philosophers about the existence and nonexistence of this separation. Most neurologists seem to agree that consciousness has never been measured or observed in the brain. My belief is that the mind is just another name for nonmaterial consciousness of the soul.
I have a question about the episode 112. From the Archive: The Nature of Reality with Deepak Chopra and the clip Quantum Consciousness. I am writing a book on body, soul, and spirit, and one theme is that the brain is a miraculous computer that processes stimuli but is incapable of conscious thought. In other words, there is a separation between the brain and the mind.
I am intrigued by your depth of understanding regarding neuroscience. Do you have a podcast or article that addresses the connection between the brain and consciousness? Thank you.
