Graham Hancock Talks to Joe Rogan

Our old friend, alternative author Graham Hancock, was recently interviewed by TV presenter and stand-up comedian Joe Rogan on his podcast show “The Joe Rogan Experience”. The two hour conversation ranges far and wide, covering the topics in all of Graham’s books – from The Sign and the Seal through to his recent fiction offering Entangled – as well as riffing on creativity, skeptics and use of the shamanic brew ayahuasca. Settle in with a cuppa:

Both Joe and Graham are also known for discussing their experiences with the powerful hallucinogen DMT, and each appeared in the recent documentary DMT: The Spirit Molecule (Joe as ‘host’, Graham as interviewee). The film is absolutely fantastic – great interviews cut together with wonderful visuals. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can buy the DVD from Amazon, or download the film/watch it on demand via a bunch of online outlets, from iTunes to Blockbuster – see the doco’s website for a full link listing.

Co-host Duncan Trussell, on the other hand, is perhaps best known for his Drunk History of Nikola Tesla (warning: contains puking).

  1. The War On Consciousnes
    Hello, seen lot’s off Hancock these last days and even if I’ve read most of his books, it’s always enjoyable to see/hear him speak. Now that he’s ventured into the supernatural he’s become even more captivating. His position on the war on drugs as being really a war on consciousness is so full on the mark.

    As someone who has had some supernatural experiences it’s so true that these are so much more explicit and ingraining then anything else day to day life throws at you, even the birth of my son is more muddled. It’s as if when consciousness is is fully there we truly exist as compared to our ‘normal’ day to day life when most of what we encounter is blurred once we turn our back on it, our subconscious will register but that’s about it and we move on on autopilot. We seem to awake only during sudden crises when once more we get available something like our true potential.

    So why then do we accept governments that promote riskfree couchpotato behaviour all the while deminishing us as a species, it really makes no sense, protecting us from living life in full. It’s not that hard to suspect demonic involvement but i certainly wouldn’t rule out shortsighted selfishness by the powers that be.

    That said as a species we’ve had long periods of arrested development i sure hope that our current fascist tech culture isn’t gaining the foothold it is currently establishing, the collapsing moneysystem will be a blessing in disguise..back to local collective banking, and i throw in another idea for good measure-make it illegal to own anything outside a 100 mile radius of where one resides, it will breakup multinationals or at least make running them much more difficult, it will level the playingfield.

    Don’t say it will never happen. Ending the war on drugs will open us as a species up to a whole new way of doing and seeing things and specially to how we relate to nature and thus to eachother. Set our mind free.

    1. I relish the cognitive
      I relish the cognitive dissonance of having a Mixed Martial Arts Cage Fighting emcee interviewing Hancock. Hey, I watch that blood sport myself too upon occasion, but still whenever I think of Rogan I think of his famous “WOOOOOOW!” when some particularly violent punctuation mark sends the blood flying and the mind blacking out in the Roman spectacle of MMA. I like it that someone so fascinated by such violence could also be so interested in sissy topics. It makes me feel better about myself.

    1. re: Astronomy Software
      Robert Bauval used SkyGlobe v3+, you can download it for free. There’s astronomy software that’s fancier (and more expensive!) that allows you to do a lot more than SkyGlobe, but it’ll do the job just fine if you’re using it for basic stuff like Robert did.

  2. Fingerprints on the Grail
    Graham Hancock’s Fingerprints of the Gods is a major reason why I’m here today at the Grail. I read the book in 1996 I think it was, and it blew my mind. I’ve been picking up the pieces ever since! And then a decade later, Supernatural blew my mind apart again.
