"Life is just another state of matter, given the right physical conditions it arises because its just a collection of chemical reactions"
"Consciousness is an evolutionary development just like an eagle claw, but because its use is not to tear flesh apart but analyze abstract concepts and give meaning to things it can be directed inward with mixed results.
Basically im at this philosophical point in my life, what should i read?
Read about how consciousness can't possibly be an emergent phenomena. That is a topic covered in the umbrella of books on Idealism.

Well, I'm going to say to OP go read The Doors of Perception or something. Or better yet, do what both of us said, then form your own opinion.
