The alternative press has caught up with Mr. Hancock fresh out of Contact in the Desert 2016, a conference in Joshua Tree, CA, where looming paranormal luminaries such as David Childress and George Noory gather to formally present research and debate ideas about ancient origins, advanced vanished civilizations, and the like. Collective Evolution blog recounts the “re-awakening” of sorts that Mr. Hancock has enjoyed the past few years, from his controversial embrace of Ayahuasca culture (see Graham Hancockís banned TED Talk on Psychedelics, for example) to his best-selling 2015 opus, Magicians of the Gods, in which he argues for an advanced Ice Age “super-civilization” that perished in an epoch-ending cataclysm roughly 12,800 years ago. It is a treat to catch this candid, down to Earth glimpse of a visionary man truly in tune with other dimensions, spreading his shamanic gospel of disembodied consciousnesses and the vegetative antennae that are, at their roots, our true allies.
