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 today I’m joined by Dr. William Sands as part of the miniseries on Maharishi Vedic Science. Dr. Sands is the Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Science at MIU and an Associate Professor of Yogic Philosophy, amongst other courses. In this episode, Dr. Sands discusses his personal journey with Transcendental Meditation (TM) as well as the history of the TM movement and Maharishi International University. Next, Dr. Sands explains the Philosophy of Yoga and the seven states of consciousness. We next consider Maharishi’s theory that enlightenment is our birthright. From there, we chat about the Vedic literature and the ebbs and flows of knowledge throughout the ages. Dr. Sands then explains Ashtanga Yoga – the eight limbs of Yoga. We next discuss the field effects of consciousness and their implications for world peace. We end the discussion with a vision of harmony and unity amidst geopolitical turmoil.
