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 Sean McCann, host of the Wake the Dead podcast. Today’s episode focuses on Sean’s discovery of “The Fidelio Experiment” in Stanley Kubrick’s film Eyes Wide Shut. We’re joined in this episode by guest co-host and Kubrick expert, John Coffey. In this conversation, Sean describes how his life’s journey led him to the philosophy of anarchy, the reality of the occult, and the art of photography. He describes how this led to his study of director Stanley Kubrick, and the consciousness-expanding nature of psychedelics. We then discuss MK-Ultra, Nicole Kidman’s character Alice in Eyes Wide Shut, and trauma-based mind control. Sean explains how the documentary Room 237 unlocked another level of understanding of the film for him, as he recognized that Helena was stolen from the toy store at the end of the film. We discuss Project Monarch and the genetic transfer of memories. Sean explains why butterflies are used to symbolize multi-generational, Monarch, mind-controlled slaves, as it takes three generations of monarch butterflies to complete their migratory journey. We then dive into Sean McCann’s “Fidelio Experiment” – his discovery that Eyes Wide Shut synchronizes with itself (and Kubrick’s other films) every hour, on the hour. Sean argues this is evidence that 20 minutes of the film was never removed, and that Kubrick himself may have intentionally created that rumor. Sean describes the connection between the password “Fidelio” in Eyes Wide Shut and the music of Beethoven in A Clockwork Orange. Sean then provides live commentary as we play the “Fidelio Experiment”, starting Eyes Wide Shut simultaneously at the zero, sixty, and one hundred twenty minute marks. Sean, John and I discuss the casting of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise as a recognition of both actors’ real-life involvement in human trafficking. Sean explains Kubrick’s use of non-submersible units rather than dialogue in his film construction. He describes the tesseract as an occult symbol for mind-control slavery. We consider how Kubrick used non-submersible units in his films to expose the cabal, and in his artwork, gave humanity the weaponry needed to bring down the cult. Sean then provides commentary over his ten-screen “Fidelio Experiment”, with three Eyes Wide Shut screens played in tandem with seven other Kubrick films. We discuss Kubrick’s interplay of music, dialogue, and time. From there, Sean, John and I discuss how organized crime in the material realm mirrors the hierarchy of the spiritual realm. Sean explains how ancient child sacrifice to Tanit has continued to present day, including via the circumcision of babies. We end the conversation considering demonic invocation, and the nature of moonchildren conceived at the Satanic rituals portrayed in Eyes Wide Shut. Note we ran into issues with John’s audio/visual after about the first hour, but we were able to re-record the lost audio and edit it back into the interview.
