And then because I 24 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.359 remember you and your family, you were just awesome. And 25 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.560 then I saw you at the side games, I'm like, oh, good, 26 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:38.599 I get to see him again. 27 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.000 Yeah. 28 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:41.879 So I remember you standing out to me a lot, 29 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:43.879 and that happens to me a lot when someone is 30 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.000 going to be of significant So so I'm happy to 31 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:47.359 be here. 32 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.359 I appreciate that. I think game recognizes game, you know, 33 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.280 and I remember that. I'll never forget it. We were 34 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.359 just sitting there eating breakfast at the I can't remember 35 00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.879 the name of the resort, but you know, having bread 36 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.239 on like the second to last day of contact in 37 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.799 the desert, and jakem rolls up to our table. He's like, hey, guys, 38 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:07.799 I have a special friend you need to meet. And 39 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.719 then you put on a blindfold and you just start 40 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.400 reading stuff and we're like, what the heck is going 41 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:17.080 on here? It was crazy, very memorable moment. I'll definitely 42 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.520 never forget that. And meeting you and your daughter le 43 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.000 dou was so incredible and seeing what you guys do 44 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.199 and what you're about. I didn't want to take that 45 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.520 angle of like making you perform and making you you know, 46 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.520 dance on command, because I know what that's like, having 47 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.360 the pressure of people saying I want to see anor 48 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.719 Blitz SkyWatch. It's like, all right, cool, sure for you, 49 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.080 I'll do it, you know what I mean. So we're 50 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:42.479 going to take a different approach today. 51 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.240 And I. 52 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.080 Really felt like a kindred spirit with you and Lidu 53 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.439 and then like our family and what we've been through. 54 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:56.759 So I'm curious, and I don't know if this is 55 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.120 an angle that you usually cover, but I want to 56 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.439 get into how this started for you, what it was 57 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:08.039 like seeing for the first time and recognizing that Ledo 58 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.240 had abilities or has abilities, that process of change that 59 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.840 happened in your mind that put you on this path 60 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.800 that you're on now, which is very quickly becoming a 61 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:25.360 world famous family who you know, can see through blindfolds. 62 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.000 And obviously, if it's not okay for me to say this, 63 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.560 we can cut it. But you guys are involved with 64 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.000 the telepathy tapes. Is that okay to say? Yeah, okay, cool, 65 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:36.919 So let's let's talk. Let's go to the beginning, like 66 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.000 what was that like the beginning of that how you 67 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.080 started to notice that process? And we'll start there. 68 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.479 So it's kind of hard to say the beginning because 69 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.719 there's a beginning for me and there's a beginning for Levu. 70 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.319 But I want to hear all of that. 71 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.759 So when I was a kid, I actually, I actually 72 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.639 I say this often where I had foreshadowing moments that 73 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.080 told me, hey, when you're older, you're going to be 74 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.719 doing some kind of work where you're magic. This is 75 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.319 the word I used to use as a kid, and 76 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:10.280 I mean like a four year old kid, three year old. 77 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.280 I remember thinking I'm magic and I'm going to show 78 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.840 everybody that they're magic. And I remember thinking that as 79 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.120 a kid, and I'm having all of these moments. I 80 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.399 used to love going to holy places and feeling the 81 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.319 energy I used to hear. I used to hear these 82 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.120 spirits when I was really little. I used to hear them, 83 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.879 and I used to just assume everyone did it, so 84 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.920 I didn't even question it. I just thought everybody could 85 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.800 do it. I never saw I just could hear. And 86 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.160 then one day my aunt walks in when I was 87 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:41.279 talking to one, and again I'm seeing I'm hearing these things. 88 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.560 These are to me. They were like family, and it 89 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.839 was something that I remember thinking, this is like my 90 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.439 mom listening to my mom. They were just doing good 91 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.600 for me, and I remember thinking, you know, just talking 92 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.279 to one of them. And then my aunt walks into 93 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.160 the room and she goes, who are you talking to? 94 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.800 And she looks kind of freaked out. I remember saying, 95 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.199 thinking I must be doing something weird, and then I 96 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.759 said nobody. And that's like my last memory of hearing them. 97 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.680 But I remember very much hearing them. And I used 98 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.600 to have a form of telepathy, not as good as levis, 99 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.000 but I had something where I knew what people were 100 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:18.319 thinking and what they were going to do and what 101 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:22.720 they were going to say. And I remember thinking as 102 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.160 a kid, Okay, well, adults must not have this ability. 103 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.360 We must lose it when we become adults, because obviously 104 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.759 they're not doing it. And so I remember thinking, okay, 105 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.160 so when I become adult, I'll probably lose it. And 106 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.680 then I remember going to school though, like, so I'm 107 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.680 having this up till I'm five years old, and I 108 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.759 go to school five and six, and I remember thinking 109 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.040 none of the kids are using this. I said, why 110 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.240 is it that only I seem to be doing this? 111 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.759 And so I remember thinking it was a weird thing, 112 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.000 and then I have no actual memory of me stopping 113 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.240 or turning it off or anything, but that was my 114 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.759 last memory as being in school in first grade and 115 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.920 thinking why is nobody else doing? And that was it. 116 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.199 After that, I pretty much just conformed. I was always 117 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.480 into meditation and going to holy places and having a 118 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.800 connection with God. I've always had a strong I would 119 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.439 go by myself as a little kid, I would go 120 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.800 by myself and I was meditating. I did that pretty 121 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:23.519 much my whole life. But as far as extra sensory 122 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.720 abilities and stuff, the only thing I've done was go 123 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.800 out of body, like before Leeu was born. And so 124 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.399 in my early twenties, I started getting more into the 125 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.279 materialalistic time of life, and I started trying to focus 126 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.920 heavily on on just like being successful and doing what 127 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.560 is seen as good. And I remember getting very sad 128 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.800 at the time too. I started to go into a depression, 129 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.240 and then I started to think about it. I said, 130 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.639 why am I feeling so sad? I'm actually I'm doing 131 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.160 all of this good stuff. You know, I'm making good 132 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.199 money and I'm in my early twenties or mid twenties, 133 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.959 and I'm like, I'm making good money and I'm actually 134 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.399 my late twenties. But anyway, and I'm like, and I 135 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.240 feel good, I feel like I look good. I'm like, 136 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.600 but you know, why am I not happy? And then 137 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.319 I thought about it. I said, how much if I 138 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.079 had all the time of my day to do whatever 139 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.439 I want, what I do, and I said, I said 140 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.560 to myself, I'd be doing spiritual stuff. And then I 141 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.240 thought about it. I said, how much am I actually 142 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.839 dedicating to the meditation and all that stuff? And it 143 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.639 was zero. I wasn't doing any of it. And so 144 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.639 the next day I started immediately going back into making 145 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.800 it like ninety percent of my day doing that stuff. 146 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.000 And then I found an energy school and so I 147 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.319 started training in an energy practice since twenty eleven and 148 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.480 I'm still training in it now. And so I got 149 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.600 really good at being able to enhance my senses. Never 150 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.480 with the vision though, like that. It was like I 151 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.600 would wear a blindfold and I could tell things apart 152 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.040 I feel and by sound and stuff like that, and 153 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.360 I would go out of body and stuff. But I 154 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.240 did telepathy. No, that never came back. I never even thought. 155 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.519 I didn't even leave in teleopathy really, not not the 156 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.279 way Lethu does it like that was TV stuff to me. 157 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.360 You know what, The only kind of telepathy I believed 158 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.759 in was I I see how you feel. I had 159 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.680 some empathy, and I make an I an educated guess 160 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.439 on what you might be thinking based on what I'm 161 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:21.920 feeling and noticing with the mari neurons. But so anyway, 162 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.160 you know, that's as far as I got it. Like 163 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.040 I'm wearing the blindfold and I can sense things. I'm 164 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.720 doing energy work every day, I start doing healing work, 165 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.720 and then Leedu comes around and I start really focusing 166 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.440 on Lelu and Lelu's she was born three months early. 167 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:44.320 I was devastating to me. And and but she's at 168 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.639 two years old. I started to notice she had some 169 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:51.320 savant abilities. And I also could swear it looked like 170 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.600 she was talking the spirits. But I'm like, I'm not 171 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.519 sure about that one, you know, But but the other stuff, 172 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.639 she definitely has savant abilities. She was able to one day. 173 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:02.440 One day, I walked in on her and she was 174 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.000 on my computer on my laptop. She's again, she's two 175 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.200 years old. She's not she's two, and she's typing big 176 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.440 words on there. She had a list of big words 177 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:17.519 and like words were like outrageous and ostentatious and what 178 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:21.639 was another word, awesome. They were really big words though, 179 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.720 and I remember thinking, oh my gosh, I have a 180 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.159 genius here, and she's a genius. And I remember telling 181 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.879 my husband, I said, I think we have a genius 182 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.879 and then he said, oh, I think she's actually delayed. 183 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.399 And so I'm like seeing it from one angle, he's 184 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.919 seeing it from another. And then and so she started 185 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.000 showing other genius qualities. So again at two years old, 186 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.519 she was taking There was the first time I remember 187 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.159 her doing something was which she took a bunch of 188 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.919 toilet paper rolls and she wet them and I wasn't 189 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.720 with there. She just did this on her own. She 190 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.519 wets them, she puts like toothpaste, and she does all 191 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.440 of this stuff and she puts it on a wall 192 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.759 and I come in the bathroom. She calls me, and 193 00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:59.360 I come into the bathroom and I was like, oh 194 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.039 my gosh, what did you And I was like, the 195 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.440 first thing I'm thinking is what did you do to 196 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.799 my wall? And then I realized, wait a minute, that's 197 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.440 a mural. And I was like, it's like a house 198 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.519 and stuff. It was very clear, and I was like again, 199 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.919 Oh my gosh, I think we have a genius. And 200 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.120 then she starts doing it with random stuff around the house, 201 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.000 like all the time, like anything that was like we 202 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.919 were going to throw away, she would take it. And 203 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.080 it's like she had this knowledge that she shouldn't have 204 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.720 had of how to do paper mache and how to 205 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.960 she knew that certain things, if she made it, it 206 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.399 needed to be put in the oven. So she would like, 207 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.120 you know, signal to me that she wanted me to 208 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.240 put in an oven, make it hard, and then yes, 209 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.759 so she would She would be making sculptures and stuff 210 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.000 without actually having any kind of training, and so she's 211 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.039 doing this. I'm thinking, you know, she's a genius. She 212 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.720 obviously understands everything I'm saying. I'm thinking she's only delayed 213 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.679 in her speech because she's bilingual or something. But I 214 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:56.600 realized she wasn't. I realized other kids her age around 215 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.399 five years old. That's when I noticed other kids her 216 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.159 age that were bilingual. We're speaking and Lilu wasn't. And 217 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.480 so I went and got her diagnosed. I was just heartbroken, 218 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.840 totallygeling myself like for somehow doing something wrong, being too 219 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.639 uptight or something. When she was born too early. So 220 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.759 I just remember being so devastated when I when she 221 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:21.960 got the diagnosis, and so lelu. She's still brilliant. She's 222 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.879 like for years, she's winning art contests like national ones. 223 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.000 She's showing these incredible abilities. She's able to sing music backwards, 224 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.919 Like if she hears a song, she can not only 225 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.440 say the lyrics backwards, but she can do the melody backwards, 226 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.559 and so if you recorded it and reversed it, it 227 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.399 would be exactly what she just did. And she can write, 228 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.039 she could do art pieces, or she can do an 229 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.080 art piece that looks just like you. She can paint 230 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.720 it on glass and she'll paint it backwards and then 231 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.440 you lift it up and it's perfect in the front, 232 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.879 like she won't even look at the front until and 233 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.960 or if you give her a sentence, she can write 234 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.919 it out really quickly backwards and then you can put 235 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.240 it in the mirror and you'll see it backwards. So 236 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.559 she has all of these incredible fun abilities. So I'm like, 237 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.840 she's definitely a brilliant kid. And she's won a lot 238 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:08.279 of contests for her art. She even won the Miss 239 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.960 Amazing competition a couple of times, and all of that 240 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.320 with her. You know, she just was amazing. And so 241 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.639 when she was eleven, that is the time a friend 242 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:23.799 of mine told me about spelling to communicate, and I 243 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.159 saw her son do it. Her son was I known 244 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.519 as her son since he was twelve, and he never 245 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.480 been able to communicate, not even say a single word, 246 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.120 and here he was at nineteen. She says that he 247 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.600 was communicating, or at least he started nineteen twenty when 248 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.720 she was telling me to come to her session, and 249 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.279 so I put it off for a while, and then 250 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.600 finally I go with her, and we're driving in the 251 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.519 car together and we're having this huge conversation and I 252 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.240 could see him like moving around and stuff, and he 253 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.799 seemed a little like it's like he was a little antsy. 254 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.200 And I was at the time, I just didn't understand 255 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.559 how brilliant these kids were. I just didn't understand. So 256 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:04.799 I didn't even think he could understand our conversation, so 257 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:10.039 like I didn't include him or anything. And then we 258 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.960 get to the place where he's gonna spell with the provider, 259 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.240 and he gets on with the provider and he starts 260 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.320 talking about the conversation in the car, and he was 261 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:23.919 antsy because he wanted to contribute and he couldn't. But 262 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:28.360 he's and I'm like, and he's talking in these elaborate sentences, 263 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.000 and he's making these jokes, and I'm like, I've known 264 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.200 this kid since he was twelve, and i cannot believe 265 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.200 what he's doing. And I'm just like so blown away, 266 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:41.519 and and I was I'm just watching this memory always 267 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.440 makes me tear up, so I'm trying to not tear up. 268 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.240 So oh, I feel like coming anyway. So I'm watching 269 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.879 and so he says he wants to tell me something 270 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:56.720 and he says, he says, like he really thinks. He says, 271 00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.960 us autistics are really intelligent and we love to learn. 272 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.200 And he says, he's like, I really think you should 273 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.840 get your daughter into this, because there's nothing worse than 274 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.879 being in a silent prison. And I was just blown away. 275 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.759 And so I took my daughter the very next week, 276 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.320 and she's saying her she's spelling out her first words 277 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.639 and they were really big words, they were, and she 278 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.159 was only doing like two at a time. Because it 279 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:25.639 takes a lot of you know, motor skill, mental energy 280 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.759 that they don't have at the time. They have to 281 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.639 kind of train into it, and she's saying her first 282 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.039 words and they're really big, and I'm like, Lee, he's 283 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.080 really saying that. And so I felt this excitement, but 284 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:39.240 I also felt this shame because I totally underestimated you know, 285 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.159 I thought she was the most brilliant kid ever, but 286 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.120 I still underestimated her intelligence and I still thought she 287 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.679 couldn't understand a lot of stuff. And and I treated 288 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.480 her like she was five years old, because that's how 289 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.440 her body showed itself, you know, that's how her emotions 290 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.759 and her body didn't. It didn't show what she was 291 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.159 really thinking, you know, so we just assume that they're 292 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.440 looking away and they're making movements and they're laughing, that 293 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.240 they don't understand us, and or they're not paying attention, 294 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.039 and they truly are. And so I felt all of 295 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.799 this shame. I had to integrate a bit, but it 296 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.120 became my favorite thing to do was to go visit 297 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.799 the provider every two weeks and have a conversation with Leado. 298 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.879 So eventually, after about six weeks or so, she communicate. 299 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.600 We call it open expressive, and that's when Lee was 300 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.679 able to say sentences and in paragraphs, and I have 301 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.559 an actual conversation with her, and it was like the 302 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.240 best time of my life, you know, like this is 303 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.360 something you know, every parent wants us to be able 304 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:40.279 to communicate with their kid, and so let's see. So 305 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.320 I practice with her every day, and she couldn't do 306 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.279 it with me, so I had to rely on going 307 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.519 to the provider to talk to Leeu. It was very expensive, 308 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.759 it was very far, but I would have happily drive 309 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.759 driven twice as far and paid three times as much, 310 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:56.879 like I would have happily done it for the gift 311 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:04.120 I was getting. Whoo okay, sorry, that's incredible. And so yeah, 312 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:09.039 I practiced with her every day and finally, after two years, 313 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.759 she could hinally do it with me. She could talk 314 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:16.480 to me directly. And I still take her to the 315 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:20.440 provider to get her motor skills up. But but yeah, 316 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:24.240 like so up until then we were having keeping at 317 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.200 general conversations. She would once in a while start talking 318 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.519 about you know, the provider would ask her if she 319 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.919 had a spiritual side of stuff. She would say yes, 320 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.600 and the provider would ask her, can tell me more 321 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:35.960 about it, and she says she's not comfortable. Every once 322 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.320 in a while she would say she's really happy that me. 323 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.279 I had other worldly thoughts and I'm like, what does 324 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.039 that even mean? 325 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:44.720 You know, what are you talking about? 326 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.320 Happily Leelu was able to talk to me, she says, 327 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.279 I said, Leedu, you know we all have different skills. 328 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.320 You obviously have incredible skills. You can you do this 329 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.960 art stuff. You could talk backwards and you do all 330 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.840 this backward stuff. I said, I'm you know, I practice 331 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:06.279 energy stuff every day and and you know, and I'm like, 332 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.359 Dad is good at electrician stuff, and what else are 333 00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:10.559 you good at that we don't know about? And I'm 334 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.839 thinking she's going to say some materialistic thing, and she says, oh, 335 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:18.799 I can discern spirits. And I was like, what discerned spirits? 336 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:20.240 And I was like, what do you mean? She goes, oh, 337 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.559 I can tell them apart. I could tell the different 338 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.480 different kinds. I could tell which was a good or bad. 339 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.799 And I remember this was early on, and so the 340 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:34.240 provider said, anything that's too emotional, too personal, try to 341 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.559 avoid it at first while she's still learning to communicate, 342 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.480 because if she got overwhelmed, it could regress her. And 343 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.079 so I said, Lida, we will come back to this 344 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.640 because we kept our conversations very general at the time, 345 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.200 and I was trying to keep it general, and I said, Lida, 346 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.599 we'll come back to this. And so eventually, every once 347 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:51.480 in a while she was sneaking, you know, she would 348 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.759 tell me a little bit and then I was a 349 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.119 we'll come back to it. You know. She starts slowly 350 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.200 telling me how she's had mentors her whole life, and 351 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:04.880 how she goes to this other place, and I remember, what, really, 352 00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.240 there's so many things that blew my mind, but one 353 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.200 of the things that blew my mind is I always 354 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:10.960 thought she didn't have friends and made me very sad. 355 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.400 But I learned that she always had friends. She always 356 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.440 had these friends that she met at the hill, but 357 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:18.880 she didn't call it the hill at the time. She 358 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:23.400 just said, at this other place, it's ethereal place. And 359 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.279 I wasn't. Again, I'm thinking it's spiritual friends. I'm not 360 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:32.039 thinking it's actual like people that we know. But then 361 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.960 she meant I asked her. You know, it started to 362 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.359 become clear that we had some friends that she was 363 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:39.680 practicing talking to like they would be on zoom and 364 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.240 she would be on zoom and they would talk like 365 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:43.599 they I would hold her board and his mom would 366 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:47.799 hold his board. But afterwards I noticed she's always talking. 367 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:50.119 But she's like, I'm he was so funny today and 368 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.000 she's saying stuff about I'm like, we haven't talked to 369 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.680 him in a week. What do he mean? And then 370 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.079 she basically told me she meets up with them every day. 371 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.920 And I was like, what are you what? And I said, 372 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:00.599 do you have any other friends? And I said, what 373 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.319 about William? And that's the one from the one that 374 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:06.880 told me originally that I should get my daughter into 375 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.720 this And she says, oh, yeah, like and she says 376 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.200 she's known him ever since they first met. She called 377 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:14.680 it the Satya Center. What was amazing about that is 378 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.519 I met his mom and he was there, and Lee 379 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.559 was there. She was three, he was twelve, and I 380 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.880 forgot the name of that place. That was one thing 381 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:25.559 that was amazing. The other thing was I didn't know 382 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:28.720 Ledu had autism. I noticed he did. I didn't know 383 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.079 what autism was really at the time, but I noticed 384 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.000 he was looking away. It looked like he didn't even 385 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.119 acknowledge Lelou and it looked like she didn't acknowledge him. 386 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.680 But she said ever since then they have been friends. 387 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.319 And they have been meeting over there, and so I'm 388 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:47.200 just learning so much about this, and so eventually I 389 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.640 noticed that Leelu seemed to know stuff that she shouldn't 390 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.279 have known. So I noticed if I said something and 391 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.960 she was outside, she knew it, or or there was 392 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.559 this one memory where well, let me just talk about it. Actually, 393 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.799 so I assumed, because I was very familiar with extra 394 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.599 sensory hearing, being able to hear from far away, I 395 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.319 just assumed that's what it was. I said, Oh, that's 396 00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:10.839 why leedu knew what I was saying, because she was 397 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:15.000 outside and she just has that ability. So and then 398 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:20.119 I what was the next one? Oh, I remember another time, 399 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.839 you know, other many times Leea would say she was 400 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.240 going to get something or she wanted something, and I 401 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:28.640
