A Veritas magazine interview with Graham Hancock

I was recently interviewed by Brian Creigh of Veritas magazine.
He did an excellent job and Veritas have generously allowed me to host a pdf of the full interview as it appears in the magazine on my own website: Download it here.

For those interested in learning more about Veritas, described as “the world’s most complete consciousness magazine for awakening Mind, Body, Spirit — Truth for our Times” — see here: www.theveritasmagazine.com and their facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/veritasmag
