Akira The Don, Graham Hancock - Fully Symbolic Creatures (The War On Consciousness) lyrics

After 6 million years of boredom
The evolutionary ascent of our
Species from the
Last common ancestor with the chimpanzee
Something extraordinary happened to us
Less than 100, 000 years ago
Which by the way is long
After we'd become anatomically modern
It was a kind of emergence into consciousness

We became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures

And this great change is being
Defined as the single most
Important step forward in the
Evolution of human behavior
Is intimately associated with the
Emergence of the
Great and transcendent rock and cave art
All around the world all around the world
Over the last 30 years
Researchers have suggested an
Intriguing and radical
Possibility which is that this emergence
Into consciousness was triggered by our
Ancestors encounters with visionary plants

And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures

If you analyze the cave art
There are so many details that make
It clear that this was an art
Of altered states of consciousness
Of visions of visions
Plants like the amanita muscaria
Mushroom or psilocybin mushrooms
Appear to have been directly connected with
This sudden and radical change

And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures

And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures

Visionary plants
And the beginning of Shamanism
Visionary plants
And the beginning of Shamanism
Visionary plants
And the beginning of Shamanism
Visionary plants
And the beginning of Shamanism
