In her series, The Telepathy Tapes, Kai Dickens relates stories of non-speaking autistics who communicate through telepathy. In segment #3, she introduced Houston from Atlanta. In Segment # 4, we meet Houston’s 16-year-old friend 6’ 8” and 300-pound John Paul whom he met after his mother Libby communicated with Houston’s mother, Katie. While John Paul and Houston played in the hot tub, Libby and Katie talked to Kai. Libby explained some of her life with John Paul. Since he will run away without warning, called “eloping,” she often sleeps with him. On vacation at Hilton Head, he disappeared in the middle of the night. After searching frantically along the beach and then calling in the Coast Guard and the police, they found him in a neighbor’s boat. John Paul wrote for his therapist that he had premedicated the escape just because he wanted some autonomy, some freedom, like his twin Thomas. 

Libby did not know about the telepathy connections or that John Paul had telepathy until Katie told her about it. A quick test showed that John Paul knew the number of which she was thinking. Then Libby recalled several times when she was tired and negative that John Paul cried inconsolably until she calmed. She also remembered hiding things from him that he immediately found. After he learned to write, he told Libby about his telepathic conversations. In their “open space,” a phrase describing “open-ended conversation” with the writing boards, he told her that he had two goals: to become a writer and to marry Lily, a lovely blonde young woman he had met at school. He and Lily spent time together, but the parents were unconcerned because they couldn’t control their bodies enough to become sexual partners. They had little kisses and held hands. The romantic John Paul brought her flowers, and she loved his poetry. When visiting, they could be on different floors, but they were always communicating. Lily called people who speak “voice users.”

Libby accepts John Paul with unconditional love, even when he appears completely naked in front of company because he lacks inhibitions. But he has also shocked people with his ability to read their minds when they thought that he understood nothing—including his brothers and their friends. In a test with Dr. Jeff Tarrant, a clinical psychologist, John Paul scored 100%. The average success is 20% with 30% or 40% correct answers both impressive and statistically meaningful. Although John Paul had difficulty staying still to be tested since the QEEG scan requires a tight head cap, ear clips, and finger sensors, he wanted to share his ability with other people. When John Paul was talking on the Hill, he would cover his head with pillows to drown out other noises in the house while he communicated with people around the world from his bedroom. John Paul said they were like the root system of trees talking to each other. Thousands converse on the Hill at the same time. 

When Kai Dickens talks to Lily’s parents, she discovers that Lily is a language savant who knows Spanish and other languages. Her parents, however, do not divulge this information because of “gatekeepers,” people who want to keep others unaware of a non-speaker’s knowledge. Non-speakers can compose music, create art, write poems, speak languages, and much more so hearing others’ thoughts does not exclude them from having their own thoughts. People in this community believe that as soon as enough of the non-speaking world can “spell,” gatekeepers will no longer be able to stop others from discovering their abilities. Dickens mentions savants including Daniel Temet who could make math calculations and recite pi up to 22,000 digits and Ramses who could read eight different languages by the age of two (Arabic, Hindi, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Spanish). A person can excel at something without having studied indicating that consciousness comes from somewhere outside the brain—an impossible condition according to materialists. 

In segment # 5, Kai Dickens talks to teachers about their experiences with non-speakers and adults—usually parents. Before one retired teacher visited Asher, a former student, she purchased his favorite butter cookies. At the store, she saw and bought chocolate donuts, chocolate chip cookies, and fish candies that he also liked. When she went inside to see him, she forgot the items in the car.  At the end of the visit, he drew their pictures on a piece of paper. She remembered thinking about him in the grocery store and realized that he received that information telepathically. Early in her career, she noticed that students had telepathy. She made videos and sent them to quantum physicists and universities, but they ignored, censored, or ridiculed her and them. Non-speakers have so much information that asking them to spell it “is like “trying to suck an elephant through a straw.” But no one wants to admit that they have misdiagnosed and underestimated non-speakers for decades, placing some non-speakers in institutions, drugging them, or even euthanizing them in some cultures. When he became an adult, Asher told her that he preferred to use telepathy because trying to coordinate breath, mouth, and throat to speak with volume, pitch, tone, expression, and intention was exhausting and crude. He wished that other adults could feel his thoughts the way that he could feel theirs.

A second teacher, a language pathologist who has worked in schools for 30 years, requested anonymity, fearing loss of her professional license and certification. Early in her career, she was talking with a paraprofessional, and one of the students began to misbehave. They discovered that he was upset that the “para” would be leaving soon. Immediately after, the para received a text from her husband asking her to rescue him since he had locked his keys inside his car. At another time, a teacher blurted to a parent that her child could read her mind. Instead of chastising, the parent expressed her belief that her child was special. An American teacher observed how a new six-year-old student in the class was quickly influencing the other children although they had exchanged no words. She realized that they were communicating telepathically, and she let them know that she wanted to be a part of their conversation. They started teaching her to use telepathy, to learn “plinking,” or communicating on the Hill.

Susie Miller, the author of Awesomism, a New Way to Understand the Diagnosis of Autism, mentions meeting her first client in 1999 and seeing a column of light floating above his physical body. The little 4-year-old said to her telepathically that she was there to put his light body back into his physical body. She had no idea what he meant, but after a year, she understood. Then she wanted to tell his mother, but he said “not yet,” because she wasn’t ready to understand. He wanted color and asked Miller to bring scarves. When they were over his head, he knew all the answers because he had synesthesia, and he could absorb pictures and words through the colors. She also found two tuning forks for him that helped regulate his body. He called the two forks that worked his “soul tone.” Eventually she wrote her book, and parents, professionals, educators, psychiatrists reached out to say they had had similar experiences.

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake from Cambridge told Kai that most scientists believed in materialism—all is made of physical stuff or matter that can be calculated. They discount all else because their belief system is immutable even though irrational. He had studied telepathic communication among animals and concluded that our field-like minds extend into space and merge with other mental fields. If one thinks of a friend, and the friend soon calls, that would be merging mental fields or mental telepathy.  A huge flock of starlings changing direction all at once are obviously communicating telepathically. Sheldrake thinks social animals all communicate this way—termites, ants, birds, bison, fish, wolves. And he offers further insights in segment 6.

In segment 6, Kai Dickens reports that Dr. Sheldrake had contacted Dr. Powell when he first heard about her research. At a coffee break with Sir Rudolf Peters, a biochemist whom Queen Elizabeth had knighted, Dr Sheldrake first heard about a disabled, blind child who could read an eye chart through his mother’s eyes. Sir Peters had investigated and tested the boy and his mother in laboratories five miles apart. What he observed was valid. Dr Sheldrake’s own animal research revealed that 50% of dogs and 30% of cats knew when their owners were coming home, and he wrote a book detailing his research. He set up cameras to watch how the animals reacted when the owners were five miles away. If the owner later got detained, the animal would stop waiting. 

Amy Morgana read about Dr. Sheldrake’s research and contacted him about her African gray parrot Nikesi that knew over 1,500 words and could speak in full sentences using the proper tense. It could also create new words by combining words it knew. It acknowledged Jane Goodall when she walked into the room and commented that she had a chimp since it had seen pictures in books. Nikesi also would wake up Amy in the middle of the night to comment on her dreams. Dr. Sheldrake set up complicated experiments to test Nikesi and noted that the results were odds against chance of millions or billions. The parrot was incorrect some of the time, but it could interpret possible problems from just seeing a photograph. All of this appears in a peer-reviewed journal article.

Kai Dickens’s father questioned the validity of her involvement in telepathy research until he heard a poignant story concerning elephants. A man, Lawrence Anthony, bought a game refuge to save old animals. He heard about a herd of nine problem-causing elephants that were going to be killed. He went into the bush to live with them until they eventually trusted him. He then moved them into his game preserve, where sometime later, he unexpectedly suffered a fatal heart attack. Two days after he died, a herd of twenty-one elephants living 12 hours away arrived outside his house to stand vigil for two days before returning to the bush. They had not visited the house for one and one-half years, and no one told the animals about Anthony’s death. They just knew. For the next three or four years, they arrived at his house on March 4, the anniversary of his death, showing their unbreakable bond.

Dr. Dean Radin, an engineer and chief scientist at the Institute for Noetic Sciences (started by astronaut Ed Mitchell after returning from his Apollo 14 mission), studies the conscious universe and entangled minds. He told Dickens that “in science, we don’t have proof. We only have proof in alcohol and logic.” He mentions the Gonsfeld telepathy testing method requiring a sender and a receiver with double-blind or placebo controls as the most reliable contemporary experiment. Legitimate results are guessing right about 30 to 31 %. These phenomena have been discussed for many decades in peer-reviewed academic journals, but materialists say that they are purely entertainment. In tests, senders in an electromagnetically shielded chamber through which radio, television, or cell phone waves cannot pass try to communicate with distant receivers. The only physics that these tests don’t violate is quantum because only in quantum physics do ideas of non-local connections exist. 

Specific conditions must be met for particles to become entangled. Radin elucidates that the model for the sciences is a pyramid with physics on the bottom, chemistry on the next level, and biology above. After biology might be psychology. At the top is awareness, or consciousness, but no one knows where it comes from. He suggests that the pyramid should be reconstructed to address where consciousness might come from, “hard problem,” since it does not seem to be inside the brain. Unfortunately, the materialists control universities and the media. They accuse people who disagree with them as stupid and uninformed. Radin calls their belief system “scientism,” a fundamentalist religion.

Another converted scientist, Dr. Marjorie Wolcott, member of the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon, didn’t question materialism until her sister convinced her to mediate. After she began writing a book about awareness, she discovered that credible people in peer-reviewed articles had already completed much research. In essence, she also determined that the bottom layer of the pyramid should be awareness, not physics. What she and others are wondering is why contemporary science has been thinking so rigidly. Perhaps our minds exist to help us separate from and block out psychic and telepathic states, but people who are neurodivergent may not have the illusion of separation. Psychic and telepathic states, including near-death experience accounts, seem to have a state of psi, or communication with the quantum field. Dickens then met Amelia, a 10-year-old, with many connections to spirits, precognition, and other psi situations that her mother tries to comprehend. Dickins covers her story in segment # 7, to be addressed in The Telepathy Tapes # 3.
