Mind Escape

In this episode of Mind Escape: New Telos, neuroscientist and author Andrew Gallimore joins us to discuss his groundbreaking book Death by Astonishment. We dive into the history of ayahuasca from Richard Spruce and William Burroughs to Shultes and the discovery of chacruna and then push forward into the future: DMT as a technology, machine elves, building alien worlds, and the metaphysical implications of the “filter” model of consciousness. Are these realms real, or are they archetypes generated by the mind? Could DMT be the bridge between neuroscience and metaphysics? And what would an extended-state “DMT technology” mean for humanity? 📖 I recently archived a lot of older episodes to our patreon page which you can watch or listen to them for 2$ a month along with other exclusive content.

In this episode of Mind Escape: New Telos, I sit down with glass artist and friend Andrew Tischler to explore the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. Together we discuss Steiner’s ideas on epistemology, ontology, and teleology, and how his notion of spiritual science intersects with art and creativity. We also compare Steiner’s visionary approach to Plato’s idea of gnosis, and reflect on whether Steiner can be seen as a more spiritual, imaginative kind of Platonic thinker. If you’re curious about how philosophy, art, and spirituality overlap, and how Steiner’s ideas continue to inspire creators and seekers alike, this episode is for you. 📖 I recently archived a lot of older episodes to our patreon page which you can watch or listen to them for 2$ a month along with other exclusive content.

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! *Watch our documentary “As Within So Without: from UFOs to DMT”: ⁠ ⁠https://youtu.be/ao9fyP-lS2I?si=zQI3ok4aFNQkvl31 **Check out our new Merch store.

What was the secret sacred elixirs known as Soma and Homa in the ancient world? Was it a psychedelic? Stimulant? Or something else? We will take a look at all the options tonight. In part 1 I interviewed Cannabis Historian and author Chris Bennett as he puts forth his hypothesis for why he believes it was Cannabis. In part two I interview academic and author Matthew Clark who puts forth in his hypothesis that Soma and Homa were both middle eastern ayahuasca analogs. I will add the links for both of those episodes below. Finally in this part I will go over all the other compelling evidence and possibilities to try to figure out what was the ancient elixirs known as Soma and Homa. *Here is the YouTube and Spotify link to part 1 with Cannabis Historian Chris Bennett: https://www.youtube.com/live/58uDnzF0tQs?si=PvPk0DcSfFqykCTn https://open.spotify.com/episode/5dZ1yuAwlE1CbntSgzJQRu?si=VAE5U21kR_i7u0tLVQZrhQ *Here is the YouTube and Spotify link to part 2 with Academic and Author Matthew Clark: https://www.youtube.com/live/6rQJLU5ISK0?si=GZpNdg3vQDCvYopd https://open.spotify.com/episode/0vv3sAyrtVmqQ8mkiBNA9B?si=ksnYCI1GRje7bstWoWYWMw *I am currently in the process of creating a free philosophy course on the origins and history of philosophy and how those ideas shaped the modern world we navigate today.
