Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Very nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you as well.
I really loved your series, the telepathy tapes.
I had long suspected that there was some sort of a way to prove that there's
something going on.
There's no way that that would be a thing for so long that people would talk
about certain moments where people could read people's minds
or certain moments where there was something that was being exchanged that wasn't
verbal, it wasn't facial expressions, it wasn't body language.
There was something going on.
And the telepathy tapes, excuse me, the telepathy tapes essentially proved it.
But what has been, has there been pushback about this?
Like I know there's a lot of like hardcore skeptics that never want to believe.
Yeah.
I think anytime you're pushing the status quo, there's going to be pushback, of
course, you know.
But I think the overwhelming amount of emails that we've gotten from families
and others that have a non-speaking child have been, you know, so excited that
this news is finally out there.
Same thing with teachers that have been witnessing, like you said, for
witnessing this in classrooms and in their homes for decades, you know.
And when facilitated communication first came to America, it was the 90s.
What does that mean, facilitated communication?
Okay.
Maybe we should back up.
Okay.
Like to the very beginning.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
I mean, so I wonder, okay, so what the podcast is about are non-speaking
individuals who tend to have apraxia, which is a mind-body disconnect.
And those individuals cannot speak with, you know, using their voice, speaking
is a fine motor skill, whereas pointing to letters is a gross motor skill.
So spelling to communicate is how many of these individuals communicate, right?
And when the first – well, and with that in mind, I just want to say one
quick thing, that often people historically have looked at people with apraxia
or non-speakers, and they think that because they can't speak, they can't think,
that they're not in there.
They don't presume competence, and none of that is true.
These individuals have a hard time controlling their body, right?
And so if you can't control your body, people make all sorts of assumptions,
you know, and that's been really difficult.
And so I think that the subjects in this project who are non-speakers with
autism have been up against all sorts of different battles, from people not
presuming they're competent, from people doubting their way of communication
through spelling to communicate.
And then, of course, it comes out in many cases that these individuals can read
minds, have a plethora of other, for lack of a better word, spiritual gifts,
and then the parents and teachers often aren't believed about that either.
So it's like there's stigma every which way.
Right.
And the podcast is kind of a collision of all these stigmas and really trying
to break down those stigmas and be like, here's the truth.
These people are in there.
Spelling is a valid form of communication.
And, yes, many of them say they have spiritual gifts, which I think we can
pretty much validate at this point.
When you say spiritual gifts, what do you mean by that?
Yeah.
So when I first stumbled into this, which we can talk about later if you want,
when I first kind of stumbled into this, I thought this was just about telepathy,
right?
And that there were these individuals and their parents and teachers were
claiming they could read minds.
And as I start meeting more and more and more of these families, and, again,
like I said, teachers is not limited to just families, one thing that they
started telling me was telepathy is the tip of the iceberg.
And I didn't know what that meant.
You know, what do you mean telepathy is the tip of the iceberg?
And it's true because I think whether or not its ability to see disease or
illness on someone and be able to diagnose it before this person knows that
there's something wrong, reading an aura and, you know, saying that they can
see a color around not just animals and humans but plants, being able to speak
multiple languages even though you haven't been taught them,
or playing instruments and knowing music or being able to access almost any
song and having perfect pitch, being able to visit people in dreams.
And then, you know, I mean, I think some of the more just, like, mind-altering,
shocking things for me was how many non-speaking individuals have said that
they are able to speak with people from the other side.
And, yeah, so it didn't just start with telepathy or end with telepathy.
It's a plethora of things.
So do you think that this is an emerging aspect of human consciousness or do
you think perhaps this is something maybe we had before we were verbal that we've
lost but that lays dormant, like that we don't need it so like a muscle it atrophies?
Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
I mean, I think we all have these abilities.
I think this is all part of us.
And in the telepathy tapes in episode five in particular, we get into animal
communication through telepathy and a story of elephants that knew when someone
who was, like, in charge of their big game preserve had died and they'd walk
days to his house and did kind of stay there for grieving and then would come
back every year on the day of his death.
I mean, just unbelievably beautiful stuff.
Rupert Sheldrake has talked, has written at length, a brilliant Cambridge biologist
about dogs, experiments he's done that kind of show the dogs know when their
owners are coming home and sometimes cats.
So this seems to be part and parcel of the animal kingdom, right?
And many of us have had that experience of phone telepathy where, oh, I was
just thinking of someone and they call.
People like to dismiss that as being just coincidence.
I just, why do people want to dismiss everything?
Like, that's the problem.
It's like, I think, I think they're, the real fear is being full.
That's the fear, which is why the problem with any sort of telepathy or any
sort of psychic ability, the problem is there's so many charlatans and so many
people get duped.
And it's really common.
I mean, it's, it's so common.
It's, it's everywhere.
You see these psychic palm reading signs everywhere you go.
And because of that, it's in the realm forever of nonsense.
And if you believe in nonsense, you're not a person to be taken seriously.
So if you're a scientist and you're studying human neurochemistry and you're
studying neuroscience, there's no way you're, you're going to support this
unless it's just beating you over the head with overwhelming evidence.
And then perhaps you say, maybe there's something here.
I think that's changing, actually.
And one of the things that we look at in the telepathy tapes in episode six,
which we call our science episode, is this idea of materialism, which I'm sure
you've heard of, you know, this idea that at least for the past few hundred
years, that, that the reigning philosophy around how we interpret the world is,
is, is only true if we can measure it and observe it.
Right. And, and that makes you seem foolish if you believe in something that
can't be measured or observed, like a siphon on like telepathy or precognition
or, or dreams being able to communicate with someone or any of that stuff would
be thrown out as being silly.
And I think there's been a massive effort to make that true, right?
That, that if you believe this or you're a scientist and you want to publish
this, we're going to dismiss you or ridicule you just for even daring to ask
that question.
Research about this type of stuff has been dismissed because it's materialist,
you know, scientists who've for a long time run, run the journals.
But, but there is something interesting here, which is that consciousness, we
don't know where it comes from, you know, and so what, you know, the brilliant
scientist Dean Radin talks about in the telepathy tapes is that if you think of
materialism as a pyramid, right, and the base of the pyramid and all the things
that have built up our world, which are biology and physics and chemistry and
all those things.
Those have rules and properties, and we shouldn't throw those out.
Those are pretty much true.
But currently at the top of the pyramid is consciousness, and we can't explain
where that comes from and why it's there.
But if you just take consciousness from the top and put it on the bottom so
that consciousness is the basis of all reality, right, that consciousness is
fundamental, that all of everything is the, is a product of our thoughts first.
Then, then we can account for all this stuff, then we can account for precognition,
or telepathy, and it's not that big of a change.
It's just flipping kind of the order of the pyramid, and I think that makes a
lot of sense.
And so there's been a lot of scientists who have, have looked into near-death
experience research, who've looked into the research on telepathy, who've
looked into the research around precognition, and said, we can't dismiss this.
This is happening.
There's a lot of anecdotal evidence here.
There's a lot of things that add up.
So we're going to start the Academy of Post-Materialist Sciences, where we will
take this stuff seriously, and we will look at the research, and we will
advance science.
And I tend to believe that there needs to be a bit of, there needs to be quite
a few funerals, but I think in like 50 to 100 years, the scientists that we're
gripping on to the materialist paradigm, I really believe that that's going to
be kind of like the flat earthers in the future.
Like, I think the scientists doing this are on the right side of history,
because you can't, you have to account for it.
Right.

We have to account for it.
We don't exactly know where it comes from.
And there's a lot of people that think that the universe is formed through
consciousness.
Yeah.
This is Thomas Campbell's take on things.
I don't know if you're familiar with him.
Yeah.
He was a mind bender when I had him in here.
I was like, wait, what are you saying exactly?
Like, you have to, like, listen to it three or four times.
Then you have to, I told him, listen, let's stop here.
We'll do it again because I'm going to have to absorb this.
But the concept is that essentially the universe is formulated through
consciousness in some way.
And that we're interacting with it through consciousness.
And that it's not as real as we want to believe it is.
Yeah.
I mean, and even if you just basic it down, right?
Like this room.
What came first?
The room or the thought of the room?
Everything in this room.
It was a thought first.
Right.
Everything.
Right.
Everything on our planet was a thought first.
Well, everything that we've created.
