New Book by Graham Hancock - Supernatural (Psychedelics & the Ancient Teachers of Mankind)

#4954887 - 11/19/05 07:53 AM (20 years, 8 months ago)

This brand new book by the best-selling author is absolutely fascinating, as I discovered by listening to his interview from November 1 2005 on coasttocoastam.com:

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2005/11/01.html

Graham Hancock describes his 11 experiences taking Ayahuasca in the amazon among Shamans, the link between psychedelic experiences of people who take dmt & ayahuasca & mushrooms and communication from transdimensional beings from possible other dimensions or the spirit world while people are in these other states of consciousness. He likens the brain to a tv receiver that is normally tuned to "station normal" but when a person enters an altered state, they are tuned to another reality and can even receive communication from these beings, or ancient teachers of mankind that left there mark some 35,000 years ago when Graham postulates that human beings acquired a form of consciousness that makes humans who they are today. He goes into some detail on cave drawings from around the world.

Graham Hancock doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. He actually took Ayahuasca for 5 weeks and didn't just speculate about it. He also took ibogaine.

The book is some 500 plus pages and takes about 6 to 10 days to be delivered from amazon.uk. It won't be published in the US until 2006 but is about $35.00 if ordered by air mail from overseas.

Graham in his 3 hour interview with George Noory on Coast to Coast refers to Rick Strassman and Bud Hopkins, John Mack, and many others in this remarkable interview. I have no affiliation with Graham Hancock or the sale of his book, but I have read his other book "The Fingerprint of the gods" and "the message of the Sphinx". He is also a big fan of Terrence Mckenna and his works.

I believe you can also download his Nov 1 2005 interview from Bearshare or other places, possibly even soulseek if you search hard enough asuming you allready own the original interview, which can be downloaded as mp3 from coasttocoastam.com for about $7.95 for a one month trial subscription which can be cancelled at any time.

I also enjoyed the other following interviews:

August 22 2005: Cydonia Symbols (Mars Pyramid & Sphinx) with Hoagland

Spet 29 2005: Borders of Reality with Cliff Pickover who discusses DMT and psychedelics and has also released a new book entitled "Sex, Drugs, Einstein and Elves."

Oct 24 2005: Prof Lawrence Krauss discusses New Dimensions & Cosmology.

Oct 17 2005: The Life of Tesla

An older Interview from March 28 2005 or so with the author of "Breaking open the Head" Daniel Pinchbeck who talks about his experiences taking various psychedelics. Try downloading this 3 hour interview from a file sharing network (listed above)as it is past 90 days old and can no longer be downloaded from coast to coast.

Here is a link to Graham's new book:

Ironically, I have a paid subscription to Coastocoast but can't download the interviews because of a slow connection. :frown:

Anyway, let me pose a philosophical question. If someone were to suggest that, say, St. Bernadette saw and conversed with the Virgin Mary eighteen times at a grotto in Lourdes, France, people might think the person is (a) crazy, (b) superstitious, and/or (c) very naive. But when someone like Hancock or McKenna writes about their experiences with aliens, then people, at least here, seem to greet their ideas with far greater credibility. So why is that?

I think the reason for that is St. Bernadette comes across as strictly a mystic where as McKenna comes across as both scientific and analytical in his approach. I'm not familiar enough with Hancock to comment on his thoughts but McKenna would seem more like (a) and not like (b) and (c) IMO. Even that in my mind is qualified by the fact that McKenna's base challenge is very simple, 5 dried grams in silent darkness and see if it's bullshit or not on your own. Your own experience is the thing that matters most and that models of reality are just that, working models that will change with a deepening of knowledge and experience. I don't agree with McKenna 100% but I think he gives an honest assessment of what he had seen and puts it in a language most here can relate to. Does that mean St. Bernadette's visions are invalid? No, all things presented should be considered in fairness.
