George Hart is a noetic historian and author whose work explores the hidden history of consciousness at the roots of Western civilization.

Trained in Classics at the University of Bristol before turning to law and environmental sciences, he brings a rare combination to the study of the past: the classicist’s sensitivity to texts and myths alongside the scientist’s commitment to evidence-based inquiry. His research follows a single thread—the psychedelic tradition stretching from Ice Age cave art to the philosophers of Athens and the emperors of Rome—examined in light of the latest discoveries in archaeology and science.

His findings suggest a striking perspective: the West does not merely possess a psychedelic heritage; it may hold the most significant one of all. His first book, Higher States: Psychedelics and the Lost Story of the West, will be published by Mycora Media in October 2026.
