*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. Also on my patreon page I will be creating a philosophy course on how to investigate and navigate the fringe communities and topics and giving and honest assessment of the main researchers and calling out the snake oil salesmen.

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.
