93 - Dr. Richelle Knowles, D.C.: Gentle Force, Revitalism, Flow, & Health Renaissance
Wednesday, December 10, 2025 • Duration 58:24
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. In this conversation, I interview my friend and healer Dr. Richelle Knowles, co-Founder of Network Wellness Center.
Dr. Richelle begins with her educational journey, from leaving Pharmacy school to enrolling in chiropractic school instead. She explains how the body is a self-healing organism, and that nature needs no help, just no interference. She describes the utility of chiropractic in correcting subluxations and misalignments.
Richelle explains gentle force chiropractic, and the nervous system as the master control system of the body. We then discuss concepts including revitalism, eustress, and imbalance.
Richelle describes how all healing arts involve being present and loving people, and the importance of community. We describe how the darkness of COVID-19 also opened the door for a new health renaissance. Richelle explains the importance of sunshine and exercise.
We discuss life work integration, being in a state of flow, and in finding joy in whatever you do. We then consider Secretary of Health Kennedy’s performance, and the need to fix our food system. We end on what attracts healers to the science of chiropractic.
This Outro, which starts at 52:00, is titled “EpiEnergetics & Manifesting the Extraordinary”. Outros available for this and all episodes at entangledpodcast.substack.com. Music from the show available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

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 spiritual experience. I’m your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I’m joined by my friend Gretchen M.
In this episode, Gretchen discusses how her exploration of consciousness brought back into her life the joy and mystery of childhood and how the passing of her father at an early age opened up the portal to other spiritual realms for her. From there, we discuss false flags and examples in modern times of governments orchestrating covert operations with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on other parties.
“Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason, Why the Gunpowder treason, Should ever be forgot!”
Next, we discuss how freeing oneself from the fear of death can serve as the first step in freedom from control. From there, we discuss the Russian and Ukrainian conflict and the motivating factors behind Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns. We then talk about the importance of open discourse and freedom of speech, including for topics considered taboo and controversial.
From there, we talk about the power of letting go and the importance of neuro-linguistic programming in shaping our physiology. Next, we discuss this unique point in time in humanity’s evolution where we’re on the brink of experiencing a quantum leap forward. We then discuss new discoveries in science helping to bridge the 3rd dimensional quantum physics paradigm with which we’ve grown accustomed to the 5th dimensional paradigm rooted in consciousness. We end the discussion on the importance of asking questions on the journey of self-discovery and the structure of the galactic federation.

Gretchen and I discuss a number of controversial topics in this interview. I adhere to the principle that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Because of this, I decided to write an outro and provide receipts for everything we covered. Three and a half years later, I realized it was just time to send it. So, I tabled that essay, although much of the research was leveraged in a piece I wrote a few months ago, “The Great Work”, episodes 88-89. Instead, this outro follows in a forthcoming series with a more time sensitive topic – “Rest in Peace, Charlie Kirk.”

83 - Is Consciousness the Unified Field? Evidence for a New Paradigm of Reality
Wednesday, February 26, 2025 • Duration 41:20
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.
I’m your host, Jordan Youkilis, and in this episode, I share my capstone paper. I wrote this essay to complete my Master of Arts in Consciousness & Human Potential at Maharishi International University last month. This paper is titled “Is Consciousness the Unified Field? Evidence for a New Paradigm of Reality”.
The capstone prompt was “The Application of Maharishi Vedic Science to Solve a Problem in Society.” The final research paper explores practical outcomes of Maharishi Vedic Science — how the principles brought out by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi can practically address current problems, such as education, government, school violence, PTSD, striving from full human development, need for creativity, etc.
In “Is Consciousness the Unified Field?”, I propose that the Vedic concept of the field of pure consciousness and the self-interacting field of modern string theory are one and the same. I first describe the history of our current paradigm of reality, one defined by materialism, reductionism, and determinism. I then highlight anomalous phenomena which do not fit the materialist paradigm, including the hard problem of consciousness, the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement, the mystical experience, and higher states of consciousness.
I then argue that consciousness is fundamental, and that matter is the illusion. Next, I explain how these anomalous phenomenon can be explained by a consciousness-based paradigm of reality as proposed by Maharishi Vedic Science. I conclude with thoughts on what this paradigm shift in our understanding of ultimate reality could mean for the future of humanity.

82 - Dr. Sue Brown, PhD: Bhagavad Gita, the Song of the Lord
Monday, February 17, 2025 • Duration 02:05:34
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.
I’m your host, Jordan Youkilis, and in this episode, I interview my professor, Dr. Sue Brown, on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. This episode serves as part of the Maharishi Vedic Science miniseries, so if you enjoy this discussion, check out the rest of the series in episodes 47-53.
In this conversation, Dr. Brown and I discuss the Bhagavad Gita’s setting on a battlefield, the ultimate location of conflict and extreme differences. We discuss how the battlefield is symbolic of the challenges people face in the world. Dr. Brown describes how to go inward to the field of unity in order to transcend these conflicts.
Next, we consider this act of transcending as the essence of the Bhagavad Gita, and the practice of Transcendental Meditation as a pathway for avoiding war. Sue describes Chapter 2, Verses 45 and 48 as master keys to unlocking the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. We discuss the events of the Gita in the broader context of the Mahabharata in which they take place.
From there, Dr. Brown explains how Maharishi’s commentary differs from those of other sages throughout the ages. We consider the universal field of consciousness, which our individual brains reflect. We discuss how Krishna helps Arjuna navigate the conflict between his heart and mind, between the collective consciousness demands for him to defend his people while also having compassion for the family members on the opposing force whom he must kill. Dr. Brown and I discuss how the human dilemmas captured in the Bhagavad Gita are universal issues, encountered throughout the ages.
Next, we consider Samkhya (theoretical) and Yoga (practical) knowledge contained in the Gita. We discuss how Arjuna reconciles the sin of murder and war with the transcendental forces of collective consciousness. We consider the time period of the Bhagavad Gita, and the similarities with our current Kali Yuga – an age of stress. We discuss the opportunity we currently have to usher in Satya Yuga, a time of construction and creativity.
From there, we dive into Chapter 3 and ideas of Yagya, Dharma, Karma Yoga, the path of action, and Gyana Yoga, the path of knowledge. We discuss why the danger of following another’s dharma is more dangerous than death. We then discuss Chapter 4 and how action and renunciation of action are two sides of the same coin. We consider misinterpretations of the Gita, including those who view renunciation/detachment as a necessary state of life, rather than as a state of consciousness. We consider the rise and fall of knowledge throughout time.

81 - How Did the Egyptians Know Consciousness?
Monday, February 3, 2025 • Duration 01:41:43
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.
I’m your host, Jordan Youkilis, and this episode - how did the Egyptians know consciousness - continues episode 80, my interview with Chance Gardner. We start with a overview of Schwaller de Lubicz groundbreaking work on symbolist Egypt called The Temple of Man, and how it inspired the life’s work of John Anthony West. Next, we dive into consciousness and the correspondence cipher – focusing on the research conducted by Chance and a team of researchers to explore the knowledge of consciousness embedded in the art and architecture of ancient Egypt.
We then discuss cycles of consciousness, the golden scission, and snakes. From there, we consider alchemy as the holy of holies in the temple of consciousness. We end this episode discussing the exalted star Regulus and the age of Aquarius.

80 – Chance Gardner: Magical Egypt, Symbols, Heka, Temple of Set, & Sacred Art
Thursday, December 26, 2024 • Duration 02:46:34
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.

79 - 2024 Election Reactions (John D & Tolon Lijoi)
Thursday, December 12, 2024 • Duration 02:57:40
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.

78 – Michael McPadden: Genesis to Revelation
Tuesday, November 19, 2024 • Duration 01:27:15
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.

Dr. Brown explains why Maharishi chose to emphasize his teachings on the practical effect of enlightenment, not just the theoretical knowledge. We discuss the four pillars of Yoga – Raja, Karma, Bhakti and Gyana Yoga, and the concept of Moksha, or liberation. We consider how action in accordance with natural law leads to spontaneous right action, and how the path of enlightenment is one of effortlessness and bliss.
We then discuss Krishna’s final words to Arjuna in Chapter 6, his guidance: “Therefore, be a Yogi.”. We end the conversation discussing the state of unity consciousness and how Brahmin consciousness refers to regaining memory of totality.
