Famous Quotes By Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1367860

Any kind of consciousness that is not related to the production or consumption of material goods is stigmatized in our society today. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 507265

I think it's obvious that the psychedelics are demonized and illegalized by our society because somewhere in our society are controlling minds that realize that these substances have the potential, have the power to unpick the controlling hierarchy. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 594957

It may be that DMT makes us able to perceive what the physicist call "dark matter" - the 95 per cent of the universe's mass that is known to exist but that at present remains invisible to our senses and instruments. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 779864

Many people say I believe aliens built the pyramids. I don't. In fact I'm not a supporter of the 'ancient alien' hypothesis at all. I think a lost human civilization is a much better explanation of the mysteries and paradoxes of ancient cultures. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1120716

Was the Younger Dryas cold event that began so suddenly and so mysteriously 12,800 years ago brought on by the effects of a large comet hitting the earth? — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1683804

We live in a society that will send us to prison if we make use of time-honored sacred plants to explore our own consciousness. Yet surely the exploration and expansion of the miracle of our consciousness is the essence of what it is to be human? By demonstrating and persecuting whole areas of consciousness, we may be denying ourselves the next vital step in our own evolution. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1707912

Human history has become too much a matter of dogma taught by 'professionals' in ivory towers as though it's all fact. Actually, much of human history is up for grabs. The further back you go, the more that the history that's taught in the schools and universities begins to look like some kind of faerie story. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 576553

I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost. A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers or products and not really asking any of the questions. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 220303

The use of language around drugs is really important. So we find that it's increasingly difficult in our society to find the word "drug" not connected to the word "abuse." The notion of a responsible use of drugs is written out in the language of our culture. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 2211554

Shamanism is not confined to specific socio-economic settings or stages of development. It is fundamentally the ability that all of us share, some with and some without the help of hallucinogens, to enter altered states of consciousness and to travel out of body in non-physical realms - there to encounter supernatural entities and gain useful knowledge and healing powers from them. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 2189506

It's odd that invoking the possibility of alien influences should itself be a sign of madness. I don't see the need for it to explain history on earth, but I can't see any reason why the universe shouldn't be full of life. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 2137210

A team of Japanese engineers had recently tried to build a 35-feet-high replica of the Great Pyramid (rather smaller than the original, which was 481 feet 5 inches in height). The team started off by limiting itself strictly to techniques proved by archaeology to have been in use during the Fourth Dynasty. However, construction of the replica under these limitations turned out to be impossible and, in due course, modern earth-moving, quarrying and lifting machines were brought to the site. Still no worthwhile progress was made. Ultimately, with some embarrassment, the project had to be abandoned. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1993238

Science has often resisted new ideas and fought bitterly to prevent them coming on board. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 2258774

Do we as adults have the right to make decisions about what we put in our own bodies and what we experience with our own consciousness without reference to the powers of the state, or must we seek permission from the state in order to explore our own consciousness? — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1983696

There are all kinds of ways to challenge ourselves. Some people do it by climbing a mountain or scuba diving. The most profound and challenging ordeals is to drink Ayahuasca. It is in a way the ultimate adventure. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1973152

People think I'm a freemason, and I'm not. People think I believe the end of the world is coming on 21 December 2012, and I don't. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1804397

Whether Earth was deliberately terraformed, in other words, or whether it was seeded with the spores of life from crashed comets or whether, indeed, life arose here spontaneously and accidentally, it is reasonable to hope that we might find traces of the same kind of process on Mars. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 2262870

I don't believe that consciousness is generated by the brain. I believe that the brain is more of a reciever of consciousness. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1717202

You have to understand that we've had more than 40 years now of massively financed propaganda called the 'War on Drugs'. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 87131

Olmecs had worked out the principle of the wheel, — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 2270658

I see myself as a journalist reporting neglected stories about our past and trying to bring rigor, reason and intuition to the quest. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1710235

Just plain logic says that the war on drugs does not work. It absolutely does not work. We have this highly addictive legal drug called tobacco which has never resulted in people being sent to prison, but there has been a massive reduction in its consumption simply because responsible adults looking at their own bodies have said they don't want to do that to themselves. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1381597

If this is how science operates, by silencing those who express opposing views rather than by debating with them, then science is dead and we are in a new era of the Inquisition. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1323599

All politicians should be required to drink Ayahuasca 10 times before taking office. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1165590

I'm not an academic; I'm not an archaeologist. I'm a writer, communicating ideas to the public. There is a model of how the past is, and a lot of academic archaeology is about refining the model. It's not about changing the model radically. I'm not aware of any current which is about radically changing the model. It's just me, really. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1157105

My sense is that we are missing a huge part of the human story. I think it's possible, indeed probable, that we are a species with amnesia; that we've lost the record of our story going back thousands of years before so-called history began, and I think that if we could go back to that dark epoch, we would discover many astounding things about ourselves. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 1018356

We are consciousness incarnated in stardust ... — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 979482

I am convinced that the way forward for the human race is to recognize and protect the fundamental right of sovereignty over consciousness, to throw off the chains of our divisive religious heritage, to seek out forms of spirituality (or no spirituality at all if we so prefer) that are truly supportive of liberty and tolerance, to help the human spirit to grow rather than to wither, and to nurture our innate capacity for love and mutual respect. The old ways are broken and bankrupt and new ways are struggling to be born. Each one of us with our own talents, and by our own choices, has a part to play in that process. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 838980

Most of the so-called illegal drugs have vastly increased in use, despite billions of dollars spent suppressing them. I believe 750,000 Americans are arrested every year for possession of cannabis. I mean that's 750, 000 lives damaged by that arrest process. It's a crazy, crazy system. It's playing into the system that the hallucinogens are grouped together with addictive drugs, which they are not. But addictive or not it's our responsibility as adults to make decisions and it's not the states' right to do that, in my opinion. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 813992

This beautiful Earth that we have, this gift that the Universe has given us is precious beyond measure, precious beyond imagination, and we are part of it and we must treat it with Love, respect, and reverence. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 728999

Our society values alert, problem-solving consciousness, and it devalues all other states of consciousness. Any kind of consciousness that is not related to the production or consumption of material goods is stigmatized in our society today. Of course we accept drunkenness. We allow people some brief respite from the material grind. A society that subscribes to that model is a society that is going to condemn the states of consciousness that have nothing to do with the alert problem-solving mentality. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 580740

There can be no more intimate and elemental part of the individual than his or her own consciousness. At the deepest level, our consciousness is what we are - to the extent that if we are not sovereign over our own consciousness then we cannot in any meaningful sense be sovereign over anything else either. — Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock Quotes 464717

I'm somebody who explores extraordinary possibilities, not ordinary ones. — Graham Hancock
