Graham Hancock is the bestselling author of The Sign and the Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper of Genesis, Heaven's Mirror and other investigations of historical mysteries. His public lectures and broadcasts, including two major TV series, Quest for the Lost Civilisation, and Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age, have further established his reputation as an unconventional thinker who raises controversial questions about humanity's past. In 2005 Graham published Supernatural: Meetings with The Ancient Teachers of Mankind, an investigation of shamanism and the origins of religion. While researching Supernatural Hancock travelled to the Amazon to drink visionary brew Ayahuasca - the Vine of Souls - used by shamans for more than 4,000 years.
Dennis McKenna's professional and personal interests are focused on the interdisciplinary study of ethnopharmacology and plant hallucinogens. He received his doctorate in 1984 from the University of British Columbia, where his doctoral research focused on ethnopharmacological investigations of the botany, chemistry, and pharmacology of ayahuasca and oo-koo-he, two orally-active tryptamine-based hallucinogens used by indigenous peoples in the Northwest Amazon. Dr. McKenna received post-doctoral research fellowships in the Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacology, National Institute of Mental Health, and in the Department of Neurology, Stanford University School of Medicine. He is a founding board member of the Heffter Research Institute and serves on the advisory board of non-profit organizations in the fields of ethnobotany and botanical medicines. Dr. McKenna is well known as the brother of Terence McKenna, a cultural icon in the psychedelic community. Together they are co-authors of The Invisible Landscape: Mind, Hallucinogens, and the I Ching (1st Edition: HarperCollins 1993) and Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide (under the pseudonyms O.N. Oeric & O.T. Oss) (And/Or Press, 1976; 2nd Edition, Lux Natura, 1986). He has recently completed a new memoir entitled: The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss: My Life with Terence McKenna. brotherhoodofthescreamingabyss...

I am a programmer I speak the language of tech, I find that the ability to gain knowledge is amazing but remember the TAO of things. Meaning this can cut two ways. Many people and companies don't care about humans they care about money. I think it is useful to get into nature and disconnect to society and plug into something powerful something that you can feel.
I am glad I can play in both worlds.I feel most alive, when disconnected from what I can read on an electronic device and climbing some mountain. There is something that is universal and larger than the next market scheme. What interest me is how toxic this society really is. I love Terrance McKenna and I haven't taken psychoactive drugs but listen to what he says. Trust yourself and realize governments and religions are entities that are going to attempt to preserve themselves and not care about you. Most important is educate yourself and the truth, your truth will come to you through your experience.
Ha! Netflix is exactly where I saw DMT: The Spirit Molecule for the first time that has led me down a beautiful path of "awakening", not to sound cliche.
keep on! no cliche just ideas tru words
A video on Netflix about near death experiences is what started me on mine. I am so thankful that those at netflix choose to put great documentaries on there
11:23 Im with Graham here. 100%
musicisbrilliant he kills it
Freddy Caye Yeah!!!!!!
Weird that it is Graham Hancock, and not Terence's brother that is pointing out that connectivity is not conscioussnes, since Shit is not Shinola as Terence would say.
Dennis Mckenna & Graham Hancock are amazing minds.
41:55 Graham hit's the nail on the head.
Ah.ha!!! found you....awesome...following....very good🌻🌹🌺
The origin of consciousness is the big bang... It's the foundation of everything, therefore it has no origin.
The big bang is the furthest man's mind can go to..beyond that it's too far and close an answer.
Right, but I wanted to just say that there is no origin. If there was, it would be NOW.
Thanks for uploading!
12:16 Graham: and do you think it is (referring to the trivial things on internet) in some way that's wakening conciseness up?...
the other guy......*blank*
interesting how competition had to be used to discover that cooperation out competes the competition strategy...that kinda blows my mind. You?
The 'Portugal' reference is somewhat valid in that its populace may not be used in a generalized manner as specified. There's a 'maturity' factor when it comes to the abuse of substances, even pharmaceuticals given the rate of medicine-cabinet pilfering... just a consideration in cross-referencing cultures' behaviours.
16min into it. Just a remarc: internet and the feeling of conectivity is the one we are training, so when left without net,we should look for that feeling of conectivity..the problem is that we do not know that world well and we do not experience it at first:-)
But,tha is the idea behind it:-)
I thought it was interesting and well worth watching
Love it. We are finally figuring ourselves out, and coming out of the jungle.
I'll take 2 minutes of any Terence McKenna over this talk
That's hero worship and closed mindedness..
What did you gain from saying this ?
He was gifted, yes. But you’re only as intelligent as your ability to find value and meaning in anything an everything.
Graham... Yes, Rock Star!!
where is Sheldrake to spiice it up.
I first learned about DMT when I read True hallucinations .
love Graham Hancock
16:16 ish, talking about silence... seems like this embrace of technological connectivity is a lot about giving free rain to "monkey mind" i.e. the endless chatter, the dampening of insight, the dumbing down of awareness. Too much of this discussion seems to glorify the technological connectivity, when in we began in connectivity and are increasingly separated by the illusion of " the technology shall set you free". Terrence mckennagot this, hancock seems to too but the rest seem keen on techno uber ales.
Im 8 minutes in... at my office designing some collateral pieces... just took off my headphones and the first words out of my mouth "so fucking high concept".... awesome
should have put mark passio inthere
Please see Tom Campbell, MBT... this discussion becomes a subset of MBT. If you really take the time to digest MBT, the evidence is there, it explains reality without grand assumptions, and makes sense, although it maybe just too shocking for some to assimilate.
wait... i want to see whatever dennis was about to do!
I am sincere but no passport and no major income to travel to get this spiritual experience.. my experiences have only been limited within aus
cooperation does not require awareness; plants cooperate with animals, insects-and other plants.
They are aware.... or it would be more accurate to say that they are all part of the universal field of awareness. The enlightened view is that all things are conscious, or that there are no "things," only consciousness. Actually this is the quantum physics view. All things come out of the quantum soup of the "possibility" continuum.
Ralph Latham he’s saying that genes have ‘awareness ‘, if plants have genes than they too have a form of innate awareness
you confuse the "thinking mind" with awareness.
actually "thinking" is 99.99 pct of the time the obstacle to awareness.
Its the old chicken and the egg argument.....does matter create consciousness,or does consciousness create matter
john atkinson ...consciousness created matter
Thats like asking whether or not ice creates water or if water creates ice. The chicken and the egg question is a matter of language- not reality. How do I know that? I know that because the question couldn't be asked without language. Right? I could ask you to tell me what the difference between hot and cold is and you could tell me what the difference is even though in reality there is no difference. Hot and cold are just degrees of the same thing. Temperature. Once you've broken down all of the grand philosophical questions down to something that can be measured (like temperature) you get to that point where common use language ends and mathematics begins. But even math has its limitations. Its just another language. There is a transcendent sort of consciousness, though. And that transcendent consciousness is the difference between being aware and being aware of being aware. Its what enabled an Indian to first postulate the existence of the atom 2,600 years ago without any evidence or technology or math. Thats what makes some of us divine. Good luck trying to find a scientist who credits that Indian sage for discovering the atom, though, even though its something that can't even be seen- and even though he defined it then exactly as it still is now.
The internet is not waking us up, it is a manifestation of our waking up to the one mind.
"The Psychopharmaceutical Industrial Complex" !!
read a Letter to Humanity About an Evolution form Its Organism
dawkins already addressed the selfishness of cooperative genes in the book
sounds like maybe someone didn't read it?
***** concur
doesn't change the fact that that dude clearly didn't understand the selfish gene
*****
have you read the book? selfishness requires cooperation
survival instinct = selfish
but no one/thing survives alone
I can't stop this nagging feeling that the further humanity goes down the fork in the road toward technological solutions to connectivity (transhumanism) the further the masses will slide away from ever realizing that each of us innately has the power to connect via awareness alone. We may have other "powers" that potentially could be developed internally that might never get explored because a machine will do it for us. I suppose this is all part of Nature's sorting process as even now only a percent of a percent of humans on this planet truly achieve highly enlightened states (consistently), naturally, through internal processes and cleansing of the heart. It would be no different in that regard if we are all android bodies with our souls being sucked out of one robot and into another from "lifetime to lifetime," I suppose... ??? It would still be the loner who would make it out of the pack....
Dennis's water looked awful cloudy....Are his pupils dilated?
why does consciousness have to be emergent?
Is there another theory that you could propose for the origins of consciousness that can be aligned within the laws of this universe? It would be a great paradigm shift if you could...
Orch-OR covers that.. Penrose and Hamerhoff, the idea that consciousness is emergent is not really a scientific theory, its hypothesis, there is no real explanation as to how or why, no real evidence. Orch-or is at least a working scientific theory combing multiple scientific disciplines, quantum mechanics and quantum biology and anesthesiology. research into this theory also expected to lead to a whole new therapeutic technology as well, so its pretty interesting
"How is it that, with so many other apparent options, we are in a Universe that possesses just that peculiar nexus of properties that breeds life? It has occurred to me lately-I must confess with some shock at first to my scientific sensibilities-that both questions might be brought into some degree of congruence. This is with the assumption that mind, rather than emerging as a late outgrowth in the evolution of life, has existed always, as the matrix, the source and condition of physical reality-that the stuff of which physical reality is composed is mind-stuff. It is mind that has composed a physical Universe that breeds life, and so eventually evolves creatures that know and create: science-, art-, and technology-making animals. In them the universe begins to know itself.”
- Dr George Wald (Journal of quantum chemistry)
phoboskitty m I have heard of Hamerhoff theory of quantum consciousness in the through the receiver of microtubules, and it is very interesting idea..But since such certainty of the origin is still open for discussion, maybe it is consciousness is ever present in the unified field of the universe or matrix or maybe its just a product of random chemicals which lead to the emergent of such phenomena...What ever it is, I believe no theory can be left untouched..
it is that there are forms of senses that happen beyond our observation until you reach the next form (maybe death) of consciousness, you cannot know what these appear like in space or time. this is a ridiculous video tho, don't listen to these idiots about korean pop, look up some stuff on the pineal gland.
first 15 minutes...... uhmmmm, I don't know...
with access to more knowledge we are not any wiser. The same motivations that drove us for eons are still in place. Carrying around a microwave communication device may be one of the most destructive entities to life ever built. The measured affects on animal physiology is rather clear. Calcium channels are affected - this leaves to cellular and DNA damage.
13:06 lol graham
I am sorry for being 421st like. 420 is such a beautiful numbah *_*
he's dead, TMCK, so what are you talking about? these are great people, who are engaging in a real, educated and opion riched covversation, I can't get why you would say you'd prefer anything g else!? it is what is is, interesting at least
+Geoff Brady
who are you answering to and about what ?
what is the meaning of "anything g else!?" ?
...idk about the ...drugs. shouldn't we be natural about this? seems like a ...shortcut...everything Source created is good....but not necessarily good for you. ...to each is own I guess. trying not to judge😔...hmmmmm
Iowaska is natural
Thumbs up if the first thing you noticed was the TESLA Tattoo.
free reign, sorry
Utterly let down. I hoped that these men with such a powerfully wide reaching platform would have a clue about the psyche, symbolism and the comparative solution to the contemporary problem.
Lol yeah..
They all think they are sombody
gangnam style is not beautiful
Boring.
The only truth is JESUS.
Pedro Rios you know what your right buddy, believe what you want lololololol
lol
