Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind (Hardcover)

All are highly recommended, but Mr. Hancock's "Supernatural" is by leaps and bounds one of the most provocative, intellectually sustaining and emotionally riveting reads of the last few decades.

The book begins with a plaintive, haunting question: What makes us what we are? What made our species come out of the daze of our historical existence on this planet and enter into a rich, complex, transcendental sense of the interior life?

The path that Mr. Hancock takes us on, to address this conundrum, is like being immersed in a sweeping, cinematic experience of epic proportions. From the caves of Neolithic humankind to the molecular dimensions of our own DNA, from hallucinogenic substances to multiple dimensions, the journey's propulsive trajectory starts in the mists of our most distant past and establishes a continuous link to our current experience as human beings and how our meat-based brains process "reality."

The odyssey is truly shamanic in scope.

Eschewing easy answers to existential problems that are often glossed over with platitudes by some "New Age" writers, Mr. Hancock is scrupulous in the way he uses multiple vantage points and perspectives.

There are no definite conclusions offered in this supernaturally compelling book. But the truly numinous possibilities echo with the reader long after the book is finished.

In so many ways, this is a book that has the implicate potential to change the way you perceive your every waking moment.

Will there be naysayers and negative reviews? Almost certainly.
Which is precisely what one would expect from a book that takes on massively "political" paradigms that the scientific orthodoxy (and perhaps even the overtly political establishment) would rather not have too many people looking at too closely.

Decide for yourself and see if you too will share that most awe-some, sometimes frightening and often exhilarating feeling that the edge of the curtain is being pulled back ever so slightly and we may be getting a rare glimpse of what is going on "back-stage..."

This is a book for those who are dog tired of the materialist mantras that blithely inform us without any substantial evidence that:

a) We are descended directly from primates
b) Consciousness is the result of neural activity
c) History is about five thousand years old and we were in caves
picking our noses all day long previous to that
d) DNA just happened to show up as it was vomited out of the 'cosmic soup'
e) Anything that does not correspond with the above view of reality is a 'hallucination'

Ad nauseam..

No this is a book for individuals who have questions literally pouring from their neural software. How did we get all the art and creative power that seemed to erupt about 35,000 years ago? How is it that every culture on Earth and throughout all history (until very recently) speaks of beings that do not exist physically, such as faeries and elves? Where in the galaxy does the very specific information contained in our DNA originate? What indeed are these 'other worlds' and where are they-the ones that every single culture on Earth has some form of information on-whether it be ancient rock art or modern day Peruvian shamans?

Hancock has really gone out on a long thin limb this time but without losing the rigorous intellect of a true journalist. He does not cave in easily to all the alternative explanations we are spoon fed by the scientific elite. Ideas such as the patently absurd notion that people in diverse historical settings and epochs are all coincidentally hallucinating about the same beings.

Hancock blows away the dross that the priests of science have allowed to collect around what is a really noble pursuit. That of finding the truth. But if you are looking for the truth behind the same set of paradigm spectacles that so many of our 'leaders' in archaeology, astronomy, anthropology and medicine are so unfortunately fettered with, so tediously often with, then this book will no doubt offend.

You will never get it unless you risk body and soul to some extent. Hancock, unlike so many academics and pseudo researchers who pontificate about subjects they know absolutely nothing about (check the meaning of the verb KNOW), put his own brain on the line by ingesting very powerful shamanic plants. Not drugs. Please check the facts. Do not jump to hallucinatory conclusions. Hancock himself underwent an obvious and profound change of consciousness and has gifted us with a log of his encounters in other dimensions. They are visions which are undoubtedly not the product of his imagination. Why would his relatives 35,000 years ago dream up the same theriotropic visions? Are we really to believe this is all a 'coincidence' though Hancock tirelessly documents precisely the same beings, patterns and encounters throughout all of our past. Or is not far more truly logical to assume, or at least to be open to the idea that we are actually created as multidimensional beings?

Graham Hancock has really broken new and stunningly relevant ground here that is as ancient as we are. We have simply forgotten. We closed the lid on Pandora's box so tightly we ended up with even more chaos. We really need this information at this juncture having strayed so very far away from the profound and healing poetry that exists very deeply-right down there at the DNA level.This book will shake the orthodoxy to its brittle bones-not out of any malice whatsover as Hancock obviously has a deep respect for the noble face of science-one that should be humble enough to accept a new truth whether it agrees with old theories or nor.

Read this book! It might literally save your mind from the unceasing and dreadfully boring attack on it by rational scientists who have just simply lost the plot. We are fast losing control over our own most sacred possession, our own consciousness itself. Absolutely inane laws now make it a crime to investigate deeper versions of reality whilst allowing us to turn into deranged wombats under the influenec of state sanctioned drugs, addictive ones at that, like alcohol. This is the best that Hancock has produced in a long and often very unfairly attacked career as an independent thinker. What if this world really was a supernatural domain? And what if YOU could acces it?
