Entangled

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. Today I’m joined by Chance Gardner, artist and producer of the Magical Egypt series. In this conversation, we discuss pioneer of ancient Egypt research, John Anthony West, and how his book Serpent in the Sky influenced Chance’s interest in Egypt. We consider the two models of ancient Egypt, and the importance of icons and symbols. We discuss Eastern philosophy as top down and Western as bottoms up. Next, we discuss the principle of “As above, so below”, and the significance of organic geometry. From there, we discuss the neters of Egyptian mythology as “principles”, not “gods”. We talk about Edgar Mitchell’s kundalini experience returning from the moon, and the concept of different planes of self. Chance considers cities as people farms, predicated on us not knowing our true nature. We consider the 128 sidhis known to the ancient Egyptians, serving as deeper organs of perception. Chance describes Angkor Wat as the stairway to heaven, and how it contains the secrets of kundalini. We discuss devas and asuras, and what they tell us about the history of humanity. We then discuss esoteric art and the recurrence of the third eye in Eastern spiritual traditions. From there, we talk about white and black magic and differentials in power. We discuss how the meaning of myth has been inverted, and consider evil as an interruption to the organizational pattern. We then discuss fraternal orders and ceremonial magic. Chance and I consider where humanity is within the yuga cycle, and reference the Three Body Problem. Chance discusses mandalas and their impact on brain coherence, and how hieroglyphics serve as a lesson in syncretism. Next, Chance explains how he first met John Anthony West and get involved in Magical Egypt. We talk about the age of the Sphinx, and theorize about its missing partner. We discuss the moon voyages and whether the public footage of those events has been edited and censored. Chance describes the hypnogogic realms and how the mind unfurls in higher dimensions. We consider the intersection of Egyptology, intelligence agencies, and the phallus of Osiris. Chance describes anamnesis as the recognition of fundamental truth. We then discuss how Heka differs from our traditional understanding of magic, and discuss hierarchies of consciousness. Chance describes how ceremonial magic attracts more nefarious individuals like Michael Aquino, founder of the Temple of Set. We discuss Disneyland and Club 33, and the tradition of human sacrifice. Next, we talk about the relationship between Egypt and Atlantis. Chance describes how the ancient Egyptians used sacred art to record the structure and functioning of consciousness. We end this conversation discussing how the brain is built to work in symbols. This Outro is titled “How Did the Egyptians Know Consciousness?” and begins at episode 81.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. Today I’m joined by my friends Tolon Lijoi and John D, as we react to the 2024 election results. Tolon explains why he is more optimistic than he’s ever been about politics, despite his qualms with Trump’s first administration. John highlights the issues around which Republicans coalesced, including illegal immigration. We discuss the lack of substance in the Democrat’s policy platform, and the widening gap within the American electorate since the COVID pandemic. We consider the hypocrisy of the Russiagate collusion narrative relative to the corruption of Biden’s family in Ukraine, including the suppression of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Next, we consider the failure of the Afghanistan withdraw and the disastrous handling of the Ukraine War. We question what happened to the anti-war left, and why the “my body, my choice” advocates were silent to the coercion used during the mRNA vaccine rollout. We consider the role played by blackmail in this election cycle, and whether there is significant overlap in the Diddy/Epstein lists relative to the elites who endorsed Kamala Harris. Next, we discuss the craziness of the mid-summer election period. Over two weeks, Donald Trump narrowly avoided assassination. Shortly thereafter, his opponent, Joe Biden, was replaced by a candidate, Kamala Harris, in an effective coup led by Democrat party elites & their donors. We then consider the information gap for the election between those on X versus those who get their news from the legacy media. From there, we discuss the development of wokism, victim mentality, and statism. We discuss declining birth rates, the attack on the nuclear family, inflation and the income tax. We get into pardons for Russ Ulbricht, Julian Assange & Edward Snowden and the impact of tariffs. We consider Bitcoin, whether the USD could be strengthened by holding crypto reserves in treasury, and the dangers of CBDCs. Next, we discuss climate change, the control of energy, and the strengths of nuclear power. We talk about the shift in the youth vote to the right, and how this was impacted by the Free Palestine protests on college campuses. We consider how the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will play out, and the dangerous behaviors exhibited by certain individuals during the pandemic. From there, we discuss the role Libertarians played in the election, how their influence can be seen in the modern Republican party’s platform, and whether the landscape is opening for a third political party. We talk about the issues of corporate consolidation, oligopoly and regulatory capture and discuss how we can fix our food supply. We consider the impact of gentrification and the rise in housing prices. We end the conversation on overcoming “black pilling”, concerns we’d had about civil unrest related to the election, and an optimistic outlook for the future of America.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. Today I’m joined by Michael McPadden, author of Genesis to Revelation: Abraham's Promise Finding Christ and Seeing God.  In this conversation, Michael describes his journey from Navy pilot to airline captain, and ultimately to researcher of mythology. Michael discusses various translations of ancient scripture, and we discuss the first three chapters of Genesis. Michael explains “Bereshit bara Elohim”, or when the Gods began to create, and that the name of God reads I am, I become. Michael relates how the 1st chapter of Genesis explains the creation of reality in the same manner as quantum physics, and how several verses describe wave-particle duality. Chapter two continues with “The Myth of the Man and His Life”, or the development of the human psyche. In chapter 3, Michael explains the myth of the serpent and the woman, with the serpent a representation of our unconscious brain. Next, we consider the heroes journey as an outline for the human soul, and how the Bible contains 100s of heroes’ journeys. Next, we consider the journey of Abraham from Sumer to Canaan, the tree of knowledge and the tree of life. Michael then considers the physical manifestation of Christ as the key to unlocking our spiritual selves, escaping the trap of the ego. The New Testament starts with the call to adventure. That call is answered by the early Christians through proelpizo, or an early expectation of Christ. Michael and I discuss how belief is what creates our reality. From there, Michael describes the Book of Revelation as the journey of the human soul. He relates the four horsemen of the Apocalypse as the lust of flesh, lust of eye, and pride of life, in pursuit of the white rider. Next, we discuss the historical life of Christ and the structure of the New Testament. We talk about how to “be like children, how to pray without ceasing” and discuss the two-step process into temptation. We discuss the meaning of life as to be conformed to the state of Christ and to become the men and women we’re meant to be. We conclude the conversation discussing Moses, the Burning Bush, and the events of Exodus. This Outro is titled “Cosmogony: How Existence Comes to Be”.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. This is Trump 2024: MAGA, or How I Recovered from TDS (Part 2). In part one, I discussed how I recovered from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). We then considered a January 2017 interview between Rachel Maddow and Chuck Schumer, in which Schumer threatens, “the intelligence community has six ways from Sunday at getting back” at Donald Trump. We explored specific examples of those six ways, including: * Framing Collusion with Russia in 2016 * Impeachment for Investigating Biden’s Corruption in Ukraine * Colluding to Rig the 2020 Election In part two, we continue with: * Framing Insurrection on January 6, 2021 * Weaponizing the Department of Justice in the 2024 Election * Assassination We then ask, how did the Deep State get so deep? I share final thoughts on Donald J. Trump: the once & future president. The essay concludes with a book of apocalyptic scripture, The Nature of the Rulers, or The Hypostasis of the Archons.
