I got a screen going 24 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.120 on here. Something just kid with my dog, something to 25 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.280 kill your dog? My dog. We're flying through there, over 26 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:20.079 the tree. I don't know how it did it? Okay, Damn, 27 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.640 I'm really confused. All I saw was my dog coming 28 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.480 over the fence and they would dead once you hit 29 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.560 the grill. I didn't see any cars. All I saw 30 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:45.120 was my dog coming over the fence. Sat, what are 31 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.959 you reporting? We got some wonder or something crawling around 32 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:58.640 out here? Did you see what it was? It was 33 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.560 enough here. Look, I'm new to window now and I 34 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:08.840 don't need anything. I don't want to go outside. Hello, 35 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:11.479 hit the boddy out here? 36 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.759 What quin on out there? 37 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.639 I thought of a mention about text nine. I don't know. 38 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.280 Easy annount there. Yeah, I'm walking right, heady. 39 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.319 My recent interview with a Sasquatch and counter witness took 40 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.120 an unexpected turn, leading me into a world of alternative 41 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.680 communication that I had never explored before. During our conversation, 42 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.639 the witness mentioned a podcast called the Telepathy Tapes, a 43 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.360 series that delves into the mysteries of communication beyond traditional language. 44 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.719 What made this mention even more compelling was the reason 45 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.120 behind it. The person I spoke with drew a striking 46 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.800 parallel between nonverbal or minimally verbal autistic individuals and those 47 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:56.240 who claim to communicate telepathically with unseen or other worldly entities, including, 48 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.680 as some believe, sasquatch. This revelation sent me down a 49 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.960 fascinating rabbit hole into the world of spelling to communicate, 50 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.039 or S two C for short, a method that is 51 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.319 both celebrated and debated within the autism community. I know 52 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.960 some of my listeners may think I have completely lost 53 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.879 my mind with what I'm about to share, but I'm 54 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.680 asking you to stick with me. If you followed my 55 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.599 work for any length of time, you know I've always 56 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.560 been a nuts and bolts kind of guy. I rely 57 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.199 on my gut instinct, an instinct honed over years of 58 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.039 experience as a police officer on the streets of Atlanta, 59 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.680 as well as through the lessons life has taught me. 60 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.280 That said, there's something to be said for starting a 61 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.280 journey as a skeptic and being open to encounters and 62 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.159 experiences that change your perspective. I went from being a 63 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.599 skeptic who wanted to believe Sasquatch might exist to someone 64 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.439 who absolutely knows they do, and that shift didn't come easily. 65 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.439 One of my greatest struggles in this field has always 66 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.240 been walking the fine line between the so called flesh 67 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.599 and blood camp, those who believe Sasquatch are strictly physical beings, 68 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.960 and the WU or high strangeness camp, which entertains possibilities 69 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.000 like interdimensionality and telepathic communication. I've prided myself on keeping 70 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.560 an open mind and being willing to adapt my views 71 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.079 as new evidence and experiences present themselves. As the famous 72 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.560 quote goes, when the facts change, I change my mind, 73 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.199 words often attributed to John Maynard Keynes. And that's exactly 74 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.800 where I find myself after listening to the Telepathy Tapes podcast. 75 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.920 The case is presented there, and the compelling individuals featured 76 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.959 have convinced me that, at least in some instances, telepathy 77 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.240 is real. Spelling to communicate is an augmentative and alternative 78 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:49.160 communication method designed to help non speaking or minimally speaking individuals, 79 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.839 particularly those with autism, express themselves through spelling rather than 80 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:59.959 spoken words, unlike traditional speech therapy, which encourages verbalization too. 81 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.319 U c recognizes that the ability to physically produce speech 82 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.959 does not always correlate with cognitive ability. Instead, individuals using 83 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.240 S two C point to letters on a letter board, keyboard, 84 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.639 or tablet to construct words and sentences. This method allows 85 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.160 them to share thoughts, emotions, and complex ideas that may 86 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.160 have remained locked inside them for years. The process often 87 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.160 involves a trained facilitator who provides physical and emotional support, 88 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.319 helping the individual develop the motor skills needed to accurately 89 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:37.759 point to each letter. The implications of this method are profound. Historically, 90 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.720 non speaking autistic individuals have often been mistakenly labeled as 91 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.120 intellectually disabled, simply because they could not express their intelligence 92 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.920 in conventional ways. However, those who use S two C 93 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:55.120 challenge this assumption daily, revealing sharp minds, deep emotions, and 94 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.920 vast intellectual capabilities. Some have even become authors, advocates, and 95 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.079 public speakers despite never having spoken a word aloud. Their 96 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.600 stories beg important questions. How many individuals have been misunderstood 97 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.720 or underestimated due to their inability to speak? Why has 98 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.199 it taken so long for society to recognize their intelligence 99 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.519 despite its potential. Spelling to communicate is not without controversy. 100 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.079 Skeptics argue that the method is unreliable and susceptible to 101 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:32.759 facilitator influence, drawing comparisons to facilitated communication, a now discredited 102 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:37.000 practice where facilitators physically supported an individual's hand or arm 103 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.879 to help them type or point to letters. Research later 104 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.879 demonstrated that in many cases, facilitators were unconsciously guiding the 105 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.800 responses rather than allowing true independent communication. Critics of S 106 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.759 TWOC claim that because facilitators remain present, there is still 107 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.319 a risk of influence, whether intentional or not, on what 108 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.680 the individual spells out. Quorters of S two C, however, 109 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.240 emphasize the training facilitators undergo and the increasing independence that 110 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:12.040 communicators gain over time. Unlike facilitated communication, where physical guidance 111 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.319 was a key feature, S two C focuses on developing 112 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.839 the individual's motor skills so they can point independently. Many 113 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.319 individuals who begin with facilitator support eventually transition to typing 114 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:29.319 on keyboards or using letter boards autonomously, reinforcing the legitimacy 115 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:34.079 of their communication. In some cases, non speaking autistic individuals 116 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.319 have even demonstrated the ability to communicate independently in controlled settings. 117 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.639 Further proving the authenticity of their messages. One of the 118 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.720 most compelling contributions to the study of telepathic abilities comes 119 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.279 from doctor Diane Hennessy Powell, a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and former 120 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:56.600 faculty member at Harvard Medical School. Doctor Powell has dedicated 121 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.560 years to exploring the extraordinary abilities exhibited by none nonverbal 122 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:06.519 autistic children, abilities that, if validated, could revolutionize our understanding 123 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:12.199 of human communication and consciousness. Doctor Powell's experiments involve nonverbal 124 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.959 autistic individuals, many of whom demonstrate what appears to be 125 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.399 telepathic knowledge of information they have no conventional way of accessing. 126 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.959 In controlled settings, some of these children have been able 127 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.480 to accurately identify numbers, words, and even complex sequences that 128 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.440 were hidden from their view. For example, one of her subjects, 129 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.759 a young girl named Hailey, was able to correctly repeat 130 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.080 strings of random numbers and information shown only to her mother, 131 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.919 information that she had no visual or auditory access to herself. 132 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.519 On multiple occasions, doctor Powell observed accuracy rates far beyond 133 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.919 what chance alone could explain. In another remarkable case, a 134 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:57.240 boy named Noah, who is nonverbal and classified as severely autistic, 135 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.519 demonstrated an ability to receive information telepathically from his mother, 136 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.240 spelling out answers to complex questions that his mother had 137 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.480 just been shown on a computer screen, despite Noah being 138 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.679 in a different room. These experiments were recorded and scrutinized 139 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.759 to ensure there was no possibility of queuing or unconscious signaling. 140 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.600 Yet time and time again, these children provided answers that 141 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:25.799 defied logical explanation. Doctor Powell's studies are meticulously designed to 142 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.679 eliminate any possibility of trickery or sensory leakage. She uses 143 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.120 randomized number sequences and sophisticated protocols to ensure that the 144 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.320 children have no way of accessing the information through normal 145 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:43.039 sensory means. In her published findings, Powell has documented accuracy 146 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.639 rates of over ninety percent in some experiments, numbers so 147 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.759 high they force us to question whether our current understanding 148 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:54.440 of human cognition is incomplete. What makes doctor Powell's work 149 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.399 especially groundbreaking is her hypothesis that telepathy is not a 150 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.960 fringe phenomenon, but rather an untapped latent ability that all 151 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.480 humans might possess. She suggests that individuals on the autism 152 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.240 spectrum may have brains wired to access this innate potential 153 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.080 more readily, possibly due to differences in sensory filtering or 154 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.360 heightened perception that allows them to pick up on information 155 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:23.840 that neurotypical individuals unconsciously block out. Doctor Powell has stated 156 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.559 that these extraordinary communication abilities might be more common than 157 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.759 we realize, especially in nonverbal autistic individuals who have historically 158 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:37.159 been underestimated and misunderstood. Her work opens the door to 159 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.759 a radical rethinking of how consciousness works and how we 160 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:45.320 may all be capable of telepathic communication under the right circumstances, 161 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.879 which brings us back to the Sasquatch phenomenon. If nonverbal 162 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:55.600 autistic individuals and animals, as demonstrated by Rupert Sheldrake's research, 163 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.919 can access telepathic modes of communication, it stands to reason 164 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.320 in that Sasquatch, presumed by many to be a highly 165 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.240 intelligent and ancient species, could have refined these abilities to 166 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:12.120 an extraordinary degree. Witness reports of mind speak with Sasquatch 167 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:16.159 are often dismissed as fantasy, yet they echo the scientifically 168 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:21.120 documented telepathic experiences observed by researchers like doctor Powell and 169 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:26.240 doctor Sheldrake. Perhaps Sasquatch exist on a different spectrum of perception, 170 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.559 one that includes heightened intuition, telepathic communication, and a deeper 171 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.720 connection with the consciousness of other beings. If so, this 172 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:40.519 opens up extraordinary possibilities not only for our understanding of sasquatch, 173 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.200 but for the untapped capabilities that may lie within humanity itself. 174 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.840 If doctor Powell's findings continue to gain recognition and acceptance, 175 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.279 they may provide a scientific framework for understanding telepathic communication, 176 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:59.240 not only among humans, but potentially across species. Her work 177 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.360 challenges the conventional materialistic model of consciousness and offers a 178 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.039 fascinating lens through which to reconsider reports of telepathic interactions 179 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:12.960 with sasquatch and other mysterious beings. If these abilities exist 180 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.759 within certain individuals, whether nonverbal, autistic children, animal companions, or 181 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:23.240 elusive hominids like sasquatch, it suggests that telepathy may be 182 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:28.360 a universal mode of communication that transcends species boundaries. What 183 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:32.000 remains to be explored is how we can better understand, develop, 184 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.720 and potentially reclaim this ancient, possibly innate form of connection, 185 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.639 particularly those on the autism spectrum whose sensory and perceptual 186 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.919 experiences differ from the neurotypical population. She hypothesizes that their 187 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.320 unique neurological wiring may allow them to tap into channels 188 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.840 of communication that most people are unaware of or have 189 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.159 long since lost the ability to perceive. This raises profound 190 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:02.039 questions about the nature of human condcentciousness and our latent abilities. 191 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.960 If these children can demonstrate telepathy under controlled scientific conditions, 192 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.000 what does that mean for the rest of us? Do 193 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.799 we all have this potential dormant within us, waiting to 194 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.360 be awakened or relearned? And if certain humans possess this ability, 195 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:23.120 either innately or through unique neurodevelopmental traits, might it not 196 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.559 also be possible for other sentient beings to communicate in 197 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.519 similar ways. As I dug deeper into this topic, I 198 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:35.240 began encountering astonishing stories of non speaking autistic individuals who 199 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.879 claim to have abilities that defy conventional understanding. Some report 200 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.159 heightened sensory awareness, precognitive abilities, and even telepathic communication. This 201 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.240 is where the link between the autistic community and sasquatch 202 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:54.360 research becomes even more intriguing. Many parents, teachers, and therapists 203 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.600 have reported instances where non speaking autistic individuals seem to 204 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.720 know things before they happen, or react to thoughts that 205 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.519 have not been spoken aloud. Some have recounted moments where 206 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.519 a nonverbal child suddenly spells out messages referencing events they 207 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.519 had no logical way of knowing about these abilities, While 208 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.039 anecdotal bear striking similarities to accounts from individuals who claim 209 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.039 to have experienced telepathic communication often referred to as mind 210 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:28.159 speak with Sasquatch and other mysterious beings. To further understand 211 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.559 the potential of telepathic communication, we need to look at 212 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.759 the pioneering work of British biologist doctor Rupert Sheldrake. Sheldrake 213 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:41.600 has spent decades researching phenomena that conventional science often overlooks, 214 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.879 including the seemingly telepathic abilities of animals. His groundbreaking work, 215 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.639 particularly his studies on dogs who know when their owners 216 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:53.440 are coming home, provides compelling evidence that telepathy may be 217 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.759 more common in the animal kingdom and by extension, in 218 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:02.279 humans than previously thought. Stay tuned for more Sasquatch Otta 219 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:08.679 see We'll be right back after these messages. In his 220 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.279 book Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home, 221 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.200 shell Drake documents numerous cases of animals demonstrating telepathic abilities. 222 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.639 One of his most famous subjects was a dog named JT, 223 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.519 who consistently went to the window to wait for his 224 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.360 owner's return, regardless of the time or method of her departure. 225 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.240 Shell Drake and his team conducted controlled experiments to rule 226 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.440 out ordinary sensory cues. In these trials, JT still exhibited 227 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.639 anticipatory behavior at the exact time his owner decided to return, 228 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:44.639 sometimes from miles away and without any routine pattern. These 229 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:48.600 experiments were carefully documented and filmed, and the data consistently 230 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.799 showed statistically significant results that could not be easily explained 231 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:58.639 by chance or conventional explanations. Shelldrake's research extends beyond dogs. 232 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.639 He has collected that thousands of case studies involving cats, parrots, horses, 233 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.720 and even other species that display similar telepathic connections with humans. 234 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.240 Many pet owners report knowing when their animals are in 235 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:16.159 distress and vice versa, often without any physical cues or signals. 236 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.840 Some cases involve animals that react when their owners are 237 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:24.960 thinking about them, deciding to come home, or experiencing strong emotions. 238 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.799 The scientific establishment has often been skeptical of Sheldrake's findings, 239 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.039 largely because they challenge the materialist assumptions underlying much of 240 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:39.279 modern science. However, his experiments have been peer reviewed, replicated 241 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:44.480 by independent researchers, and subjected to rigorous statistical analysis. His 242 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.639 hypothesis of morphic resonance, a concept suggesting that there is 243 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.399 a collective memory shared among members of a species, offers 244 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.919 a radical but intriguing framework to understand these connections. If 245 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.879 animals can demonstrate such telepathic abilities with huge humans, it 246 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.079 opens the door to considering how these abilities might also 247 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:08.839 exist within the human species, particularly among individuals with different 248 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:13.799 neurocognitive profiles, such as non speaking, autistic individuals or savants. 249 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.440 Sheldrake's work suggests that telepathy is not a paranormal phenomenon, 250 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.759 but rather a natural extension of the bonds shared between beings, 251 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:28.480 whether human, animal, or potentially something else entirely. This raises 252 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:34.079 an intriguing possibility when we consider the sasquatch phenomenon. If dogs, cats, 253 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.559 and even parrots can demonstrate telepathic connections with their human counterparts, 254 00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:43.240 why couldn't a highly evolved, elusive hominid species like sasquatch 255 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.599 possess a similar, if not more advanced form of communication. 256 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.200 Many witnesses describe encounters where sasquatch seem to project thoughts 257 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.920 or emotions directly into the human mind bypassing the need 258 00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.119 for spoken language. This mind speak, as it's often called, 259 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:05.200 bears remarkable resemblance to the telepathic connections Shelldrake has documented 260 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.640 in animals. If telepathy is a natural but underdeveloped ability 261 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:13.400 in humans and animals, then it stands to reason that sasquatch, 262 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:17.519 perhaps living in closer harmony with nature and unencumbered by 263 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.920 modern technological distractions, could have honed this form of communication 264 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:27.200 to an extraordinary degree. Moreover, certain humans, particularly those who 265 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.720 are neurodivergent, may be more sensitive or attuned to these 266 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:36.279 frequencies of communication. Non speaking, autistic individuals, savants, and others 267 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.039 who claim to experience heightened sensory perception could be naturally 268 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:44.960 predisposed to perceive and engage in these telepathic exchanges. The 269 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.200 intersection of Rupert Sheldrake's research and sasquatch encounters offers a 270 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.839 compelling case for re examining what we think we know 271 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.480 about communication, consciousness, and our place within the web of 272 00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.680 life on Earth. And with that in mind, I'd like 273 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:04.400 to share conversation with doctor Diane Hennessy Powell herself. In 274 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.519 this interview, Doctor Powell expands on her groundbreaking research into 275 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.519 telepathy among nonverbal autistic individuals and offers her thoughts on 276 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:16.559 what this could mean for our understanding of consciousness, human potential, 277 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.720 and even the possibility of telepathic communication with other beings. 278 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.119 Here's a short clip from that conversation. 279 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.279 One of the things that distinguishes me from other parapsychologists 280 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:31.799 is that I was a neuroscientist for fifteen years. I'm 281 00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:37.480 a neuropsychiatrist trained in neurology, psychiatry, internal medicine. And it 282 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:42.400 wasn't until after I had that background in the materialist 283 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:46.839 model and I saw that it had flaws in it 284 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.480 that I started to look for explanations elsewhere. And some 285 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.640 of the flaws that I saw were in the model 286 00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.799 were ones that were coming from the fact that you 287 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.799 had clinicians in the field interviewing patients who had, for example, 288 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:09.000 brain damage such as frontotemporal dimension, in which you have 289 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.319 an erosion of the brain, and yet instead of these 290 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.720 people being more impaired, you would actually have these remarkable 291 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.720 abilities appear. You have people like autistic savants who have 292 00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:28.240 disabilities to the extent that they can't even do simple 293 00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:32.599 daily tasks. They can't even do the basic building blocks 294 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:38.160 of language or mathematics, and yet they can come up 295 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:43.359 with these these answers to things that it just doesn't 296 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:45.400 make sense. And so when I was looking at these 297 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.119 phenomena that I saw as a clinician and then had 298 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.640 this background as a neuroscientist, I was in the position 299 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.599 which most people are not. Most neuroscientists don't know what 300 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.960 clinicians see in the field, and most clinicians in the 301 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:02.200 field don't really own neuroscience fall enough to know whether 302 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.279 in the model could explain it. And so I have 303 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:07.559 been in that position to really look at the two. 304 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.920 And so when I look at a lot of parapsychological research, 305 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.960 what I see missing is our brain in it. You know, 306 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.640 what is the human brain doing that allows us to 307 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:24.319 have these experiences. Almost nine years ago to the day, 308 00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:29.599 I presented at a conference in Copenhagen towards the Science 309 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.599 of Consciousness. It's a conference that's sponsored by the University 310 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:35.119 of Arizona. It's in the US and then it's also 311 00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.640 in other countries every other year, so they switch between 312 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:42.279 international and the US conference. And so I was presenting 313 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:46.359 at the Copenhagen conference and I presented on autisticsavants because 314 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:49.519 at the time I realized that they were a key 315 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:54.440 to understanding human consciousness because of the abilities they had. 316 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:58.000 And at the time I was trying to see, can 317 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.440 we understand how they can do these things such as 318 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.200 pick out prime numbers in six digits without knowing how 319 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.160 to do math. You know, is there some way in 320 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:14.079 which they're able to pick up on some pattern recognition? No, 321 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.240 that's out there that we're not able to pick up on, 322 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:20.440 but somehow they're tuning into that pattern recognition. And so 323 00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:22.599 I was working on a model for understanding that with 324 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:27.200 my brother, who's a theoretical physicist and an artificial intelligence expert, 325 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:31.000 to see can we explain this so if you had 326 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.640 a quantum computer, could a quantum computer do this? And 327 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:38.240 when it comes to things like calendar calculations, for example, 328 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.680 the autistic savants who can do things not only like 329 00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.119 tell you if you say my birthday is May twelfth, 330 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.279 nineteen sixty two, tell you whether that's a Tuesday or 331 00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:51.000 a Friday, but also be able to tell you something 332 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.880 like if you said to them, what year had three 333 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.200 Fridays the thirteenth in it, they would be able to 334 00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:03.359 name the years they're they're they're doing something in terms 335 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.799 of their they're accessing information about our calendar system. But 336 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.720 these are people who don't know math, and the algorithm 337 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:17.839 for deriving calendar calculation, that that kind of thing is 338 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:23.720 very complicated, and these people can't even do addition. And 339 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:28.359 mathematicians ask the same question, who even have algorithms take 340 00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:31.400 longer to do it than autistic savants. And so the 341 00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:36.400 more I started to delve into this phenomenon with autistic savants, 342 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:39.400 the more I said, you know, these things that some 343 00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:41.640 of them can do, Okay, we could explain some of 344 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.000 it by really having superior visual spatial skills and pattern 345 00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:51.640 recognition and superior memories, but some of these skills that 346 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:55.119 they have really look like said, because when you ask 347 00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.039 them phenomenologically, what do you experience? They say, I don't 348 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:01.279 know how I have. The answer just popped into my head. 349 00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.480 So it's very different from what I as someone who 350 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:08.200 trained as a mathematician. I was a math prodigy, and 351 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.559 the answers didn't just pop into my head. So I 352 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.200 knew that what they were doing was very different. And 353 00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:16.839 I thought, so it's so SI, Like what if it 354 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:20.400 is SI? So I started focusing on them as a population, 355 00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:23.559 and when I started to look at the literature, I 356 00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:26.559 saw that occasionally you would have someone like Daryl Trefford, 357 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:32.000 who wrote a book about them extraordinary people. In his book, 358 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.279 he talks about PSI like, not just SI like abilities, 359 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:42.160 but actual SI. He talks about research that was done 360 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:46.920 by someone whose name was Bernard Rimland, who was someone 361 00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.480 who had an autistic son, and he also founded the 362 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:54.319 Autistic Research Institute in San Diego, and he studied thousands 363 00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:58.960 of children and he concluded that some of them definitely 364 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.240 had SIGH. There was a child who could predict when 365 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.160 his parents were going to pick him up, and they 366 00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.559 didn't pick him up from where he was during the 367 00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:10.039 day on a regular basis. It was sometimes they did, 368 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:13.880 sometimes he went by bus, but he always would go 369 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.079 to the door knowing when they would pick him up. 370 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.839 There was another child who knew what her Christmas presents 371 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:25.400 were a week in advance without any clues. But the 372 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:30.920 point is that there was evidence also that they might 373 00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.480 also have things that we think of as side. Not 374 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:35.920 only were their abilities something that seemed sigh I like, 375 00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:40.200 but they also might actually have SIGH. But what I 376 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:43.960 saw was that When Darryl Trefford suggested this just briefly, 377 00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:49.920 it was attacked so vehemously that it just basically went underground. 378 00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:54.200 So I started to look at In my book The 379 00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:58.160 esp Enigma, I looked at what is it that makes 380 00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:03.160 some people more predisposed to having these experiences and other people. 381 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:08.559 Over the years, I've interviewed multiple people who assert that 382 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:13.480 they have had telepathic encounters with Sasquatch. Their descriptions often 383 00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:17.319 align with those of nonverbal autistic individuals who say they 384 00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:22.400 can communicate telepathically with parents, teachers, and even peers. These 385 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.119 accounts frequently describe the transmission of thoughts as fully formed 386 00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.480 ideas rather than as words, an instant understanding of another's 387 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:35.200 emotions and messages received in dreams or moments of deep concentration. 388 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.640 If these claims are to be believed, could it be 389 00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:42.240 that some non speaking autistic individuals are tapping into a 390 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:46.799 form of communication that exists beyond spoken language, one that 391 00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.000 has been utilized by being such as Sasquatch for millennia. 392 00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:53.519 This brings us to an intriguing theory put forward by 393 00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:58.039 Christopher Knowell in his book The Sasquatch Savant Theory. Noel 394 00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:02.160 suggests that Sasquatch may actually be an autistic savant species, 395 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.440 an idea that has sparked a mix of curiosity, skepticism, 396 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:11.400 and outright laughter from many, including myself. At first glance, 397 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.759 the notion that an elusive hominid species roaming the wilds 398 00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.440 of North America could somehow be on the spectrum seems 399 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.519 far fetched, even absurd. But the deeper I dive into 400 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.000 the research, the more I realized that no one might 401 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.200
