"The Urantia Book Podcast" I am excited for this episode we will analyze the Urantia Book which to me is one of best spiritual compositions to be written in the last century or possibly ever. Dr. William Sadler and his wife had a huge part and was the catalyst for bringing this book to the masses. It is long and it marries Religion, Science, and Philosophy in a way that has not been seen since the scientific revolution. The syntax and structure is amazing not to mention it does not contradict itself once in the papers. The most mysterious thing about it is the way it was conceived and written which I urge all of you to look into. *If you enjoy our podcast and want to help us grow, check out our Patreon account and enjoy the exclusive material not heard anywhere else. https://www.patreon.com/MikeandMaurice MikeandMauriceMindEscape.com

"Megalithic Structures and Precession" Today we take a look at megalithic Structures like The Great Pyramids and Gobekli Tepe. Gobekli Tepe with less than 5% of it excavated has already been a treasure trove of ancient knowledge. Gobekil Tepe is setting the modern human timeline back with it being 12,000 yrs old possibly dating back to 10,000 B.C. We will also discuss The Great Pyramid of Egypt since there is no evidence of the exact way it was built. There is no way that slaves were involved in it's construction. It had to have been skilled laborers with a passion for the project to create that masterpiece. *If you enjoy our podcast and want to help us grow, check out our Patreon account and enjoy the exclusive episodes and interviews https://www.patreon.com/MikeandMaurice MikeandMauriceMindEscape.com

Consciousness and Beyond Episode #1 "Consciousness and Beyond" What makes us Conscious? What is Consciousness? Is it a byproduct of evolution or something divine? Since man has been self aware he has pondered the meaning of life and our possible origin. At some point in our evolution our brain sizes have tripled. There are theories as to how this happened, but nothing concrete. This is most likely the origin of consciousness as we know it. Mike and Maurice’s Mind Escape is a podcast dedicated to Science, Religion, Archeology, Art, Music, Esoteric works, and everything interesting in between. We are cousins who grew up in the suburbs of Detroit and have always had the thirst for the unknown and mystical experiences.
