Graham Hancock | Entangled Between The Past & The Present | Part 1 of 2

During this New Year's Eve edition of Veritas, we close this period with bestselling author Graham Hancock. To leverage the time we discussed portions of Hancock's books, taking us from the past to the present. He is not an armchair researcher. He travels the world and experiences for himself. This is a journey into a man's adventure into a world those in control would prefer to keep hidden. The past has been erased from our consciousness to keep us weak and to give us the illusion of lack of control. After decades of research Graham Hancock has decided to delve into the world of science fiction, with his new novel: ENTANGLED. This novel offers a mosaique of all his impeccable work. As part of his research for Supernatural, Graham Hancock traveled to the Peruvian Amazon to drink the powerful plant hallucinogen Ayahuasca with indigenous shamans. Such visionary experiences, Hancock argues, were fundamental to the unprecedented and astonishing evolutionary leap forward achieved by our species during the past 40,000 years and provided the inspiration for the earliest art and religious ideas of mankind. It is difficult for those who have not experienced Ayahuasca, or other related shamanic hallucinogens, to visualise the strange parallel realities into which these substances bring us. Fortunately, however, a number of shamans in the Amazon are also gifted artists and have made paintings of their own visions.
