The Mystical Life Publications team with Graham Hancock.
A few weeks ago, the MLP team and friends were out and about hunting for office space when I stumbled upon a poster advertising an Australian tour for Graham Hancock. As a writer and journalist, Graham Hancock has investigated some fascinating topics like the evidence for an ancient and very advanced lost civilisation, the Orion correlation theory, and the ‘War on Consciousness’ – a talk that was infamously banned by TED. We’ve been particularly interested in his research on ancient sites and the significance of their alignments to celestial patterns, as the lost spiritual knowledge of ancient civilisations is something that we’re helping revive today through the work we publish.
His last talk was scheduled for the upcoming weekend – we couldn’t believe our luck – we had to see if we could get tickets. From there began phone calls, emails, and negotiations with the ticket vendor and luckily enough, just a few days before the show, we were able to get some tickets at a good price.
So a couple of weekends ago, we went along to see the ‘Magicians of the Gods’ tour. Having seen some of Graham Hancock’s talks and documentaries online, I was pretty excited to attend this in person. Arriving at the venue, people of all ages and walks of life were buzzing around, from dreadlocked youth to distinguished types and everyone in between (like us!). The venue capacity was adjusted to accommodate 1030 people and from what I could see, it was mostly full.
I have watched some of his talks on Egypt and was impressed.
But when I saw his videos about ayahuasca I was taken aback. I have personally met people who have done ayahuasca and heard their experiences. And it was very clear to me that this drug and other drugs ( psychedelic = spirit drug ) take one into the inferno , to the lowers dimensions under the earth. These people do not follow the most important keys of ego work and sexual alchemy. It is sad state of world today that so many dark things are believed to be spirituality.
I really enjoyed the article. For me it was a great review offering a perspective that is refreshing, insightful and reflective. Thank you Priya.
I really liked that review of the talk. I had seen some videos by Graham Hancock before, especially one about his work on Angkor Wat, and I was really impressed by the work his team did in terms of showing the celestial alignment with the Equinox and with the constellations. It was captivating and really amazing seeing all these physical evidence.
And I really appreciated some of the things Priya mentioned, especially one of her point toward the end, about the legacy that we as a humanity leave behind, but it also made me wonder about the legacy we, ourselves, leave behind. I remember Belsebuub talking about this, in the book Gazing into the Eternal, about what it is that we take with us when we face the end of our life? And are we satisfied about what it is that we are taking to Eternity with us. This were very profound questions and notions that really help me to see the whole picture. So a very helpful blog and a really good review of the talk – almost made me feel as if I was there :)
Yes that was a point that stood out for me too Geraldine, what is our legacy? What have we as a humanity done to offer for those to come? When I really think about that, it brings tears to my eyes.
Interesting thing to think about and very motivating to then get up and do more!
Thanks for sharing your review of the event Priya, so many interesting things I’m not sure what to comment on first! :)
It’s sad how prevalent the idea is that we need some form of hallucinogen in order to have spiritual experiences. The idea seems to have kind of infiltrated a lot of people’s attempts at astral projection particularly. I’m very glad for the books and information on this site so we can learn how to have spiritual experiences through our own efforts rather than with drugs which for me has been a lot more profound.
I really liked your comments about how people can research in different ways and reach similar conclusions in terms of the thread of spiritual teachings and groups through the past and in the importance of what legacy we would be leaving for future generations.
I agree with your points in terms of the war on consciousness.
Thanks Priya, enjoyed reading your impressions and analysis of what you all had that chance to learn about. I had come across G Hancock’s video before and had viewed a few but not all so your critique has been very useful.
Yes, some very interesting research. We are lucky to be able to access it so freely and dictatorship has not so far stamped it out, or rather confiscated it.
I very much like Robert Bauval’s research (mentioned on Hancock’s site) and particularly his documentary ‘Osiris Myth’. I never get tired of watching this.

It is a great documentary, Shane.
And thanks for the talk review, Priya. Lucky you for getting to attend. Sounds like a great event!
Just checked the MLP website and read your post on Graham Hancock’s talks. Excellent information, very informative and very well written.
Loved it! Thanks for that Priya.
Thanks for the feedback, I’m sure it must have been a great event. I will have to look him up.
Spreading this information will really shake the very foundation of those monsters in control.
