*Welcome to a journey into the origins of thought, where we explore the minds that shaped the very foundations of our understanding. Hello, my name is Mike and I am the host of Mind Escape Podcast. I am happy to share my new series called Masters of Rhetoric. Masters of Rhetoric is a free bi-weekly course/podcast that will air on Mondays. The goal is to draw from the earliest philosophers, scientists, and critical thinkers to help navigate the current technological paradigm. In a world where divisive and eristic rhetoric often dominates online spaces, I believe it’s crucial to return to the roots of dialectic. This approach can offer the thoughtful discourse that humanity desperately needs today.

**For those eager to dive even deeper, I’m offering an exclusive series on our Mind Escape Patreon called ‘Masters of Rhetoric: The Epistemology of Mysteries.’ This series will analyze and critique researchers, books, and theories, all centered around the question: ‘How do we know what we know about the mysteries of life?’ Click the Mind Escape Linktree below to join.

***So, join us on this philosophical adventure by subscribing to our channel and podcast. Engage with us through your comments and critiques—we’re excited to hear your thoughts. Let’s embark on this journey together with ‘Masters of Rhetoric.’ Enjoy the series!

*I am currently in the process of creating a free philosophy course called “Masters of Rhetoric” on the origins and history of philosophy and how those ideas shaped the modern world we navigate today.

Check out our documentary “As Within So Without: from UFOs to DMT” if you have not already.

Since humans have been conscious enough to ponder the nature of reality they have had metaphysical experiences. These experiences are always beyond the scope of understanding based on the current scientific paradigm. Do metaphysical and mystical experiences serve as some evolutionary mechanism where human beings are unknowingly dangling the carrot in front of themselves, or is something far more strange happening? Do UFO and DMT experiences offer a chance to peer beyond the veil of our built in senses? Our documentary is now free to watch on youtube click the linktree link in our bio to watch.
