Summary
Can children with autism read our minds or see into the future? Can they know a foreign language and communicate with friends on the other side of the globe without ever leaving their room or picking up a phone? Dr. Diane Hennessey, author, researcher, psychiatrist, and host of the mind bending telepathy tapes, Dr. Diane Hynessey, joins me in this episode to share her incredible story of how she became fascinated with ESP and her journey into the field.

and now a blaze media podcast hello america you know we've been fighting every single day we push
00:00:07.620
back against the lies the censorship the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to

00:00:45.280
we'll make a difference and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work
00:00:49.280
today's podcast promises to be unbelievable um is this based on a podcast that i listened to about
00:00:58.140
a year ago still going on and it is it will change the way you think about everything let's start
00:01:03.460
here can children with autism read our minds or see into the future can they know a foreign language
00:01:08.980
they've never been taught communicate with friends on the other side of the globe without ever leaving
00:01:13.520
their room or picking up a phone the answer my next guest says is yes this will make you reconsider
00:01:21.640
everything you think you know about autism the brain esp human consciousness um everything
00:01:30.320
welcome author researcher psychiatrist whose work has shook the nation and me personally in the mind
00:01:38.780
bending telepathy tapes this is dr diane hennessey
00:01:44.640
diane welcome to the program i am so excited to have you on i your telepathy tapes has
00:02:04.540
has totally opened my mind up into into areas that are uh not just medical advancements or
00:02:17.840
understanding um understanding and having more empathy but also spiritually i mean this your work is
00:02:27.340
touching on absolutely it's game-changing it's absolutely game-changing and i don't know why
00:02:32.940
there there aren't i don't know why you're not a household name right now with everyone i really
00:02:39.820
don't so well thank you you're welcome thank you um can can we start because i want to take people
00:02:48.160
who haven't necessarily heard about this and i want to start really kind of at the beginning so if
00:02:53.080
if you don't mind let me just kind of see if i can have you guide you through piecing all of this
00:02:58.860
together you you're educated harvard john hopkins you you study esp um and um you were at cambridge
00:03:10.920
hospital right and there was a a patient that came in they thought she was going to have a heart attack
00:03:17.740
and she said no i'm not having a heart attack what happened
00:03:20.840
well that was when i was a consult to the consultant to the medical floors and if somebody
00:03:29.840
on one of the medical floors is mentally ill they can't leave the hospital against medical advice
00:03:37.060
and this woman wanted to leave she said that she was seeing ghosts and that she was psychic and already
00:03:43.700
knew that the test would come back normal and so um she just wanted to leave and so they called me in
00:03:50.020
basically to evaluate her and sign the paperwork and keep her there and so when i went to see her
00:03:57.960
she told me she was seeing ghosts and i said yeah if there's any place there's ghosts it's probably in
00:04:04.080
a hospital and she laughed and she said you know you know i like you and she said um i'm getting a
00:04:10.660
reading about you do you mind if i share with you what i'm what i'm seeing and i said um yeah go ahead
00:04:16.920
i thought you know i'll just you know kind of you know get get a sense of you know how delusional
00:04:20.740
she was by yeah yeah sure about me and and the first thing that she said was your husband's a
00:04:26.440
chemist and my husband was a biochemist and then she said and he's applying for a position in two
00:04:33.340
different cities right now and he was he was applying for postdoctorates in biochemistry that
00:04:38.480
very week and then she told me that we'd end up in san diego which was one of the cities
00:04:44.080
wow it is where we ended up and and she told me other things about my life that that um unfolded
00:04:51.440
okay so so how deeply were you into esp and all of this and and and how much of it did you think
00:05:00.060
was real at this point oh at that point i was totally in the materialist model of neuroscience i was a
00:05:09.560
neuroscientist as an undergraduate um i trained in neuropsychiatry and in my training i mean that
00:05:16.820
we were taught that if somebody says that they can read other people's minds or if they can read the
00:05:22.880
future or if they see ghosts that that's a sign of a psychosis and that they would need medication
00:05:29.720
and so so this was totally antithetical to everything that i had believed what did that do
00:05:39.180
to you it was my i'm sorry what did that do to you well what it did to me was it raised my curiosity
00:05:47.960
because i didn't have any need for things to be one way or the other i i'm i'm i'm a really i was
00:05:55.180
basically raised to be a scientist my father was had graduate degrees in three different branches
00:06:00.760
of science he was the head of the artificial heart program at batel memorial i was raised with science
00:06:06.840
kits and i just thought at the time that i was um in my 20s the most exciting frontier was really
00:06:14.600
understanding the brain and consciousness and i already had studied physics and um was aware of
00:06:24.680
the fact that physicists over 100 years ago had told us that reality is not the way that we perceive it
00:06:32.260
right that reality is you know that you know whether you're looking at einstein's theory of
00:06:37.060
relativity or you're looking at niels Bohr and you know the quantum mechanics that you were told that
00:06:44.280
um this isn't this isn't the real reality and so i thought when i heard this i thought well
00:06:52.100
you know this is very very similar to um first of all i thought if this is true if people can uh
00:07:00.500
read minds or predict the future that has profound implications for for everything but can i tell you
00:07:08.040
this is why i like you so much um most people are they like living in the world that has been crafted
00:07:17.840
and they don't necessarily want to pursue things i mean that is a dangerous thing for you as a scientist
00:07:25.960
to and you must have known this i'm sure you did to say oh you know what i think this esp thing there might
00:07:31.940
be something to that nobody likes to go into that box because there's too many scientists that are unlike
00:07:39.820
you that are unwilling to challenge i mean that's what science is supposed to be but they're unwilling
00:07:46.960
to challenge the things that people think they know they have to keep you in this box so did you realize
00:07:55.180
how scary this was going to be for you absolutely a hundred percent i um i really made a lot of
00:08:03.100
sacrifices in order to yeah you lost your license i mean i walked i'm sorry you lost your license
00:08:10.300
why yeah well and before that i walked away from a successful academic career
00:08:15.820
i mean you know not only you know as a child was i groomed to become a scientist but i was groomed to
00:08:23.180
become you know you know at some point like a chairman of a department i mean you know here i was
00:08:28.680
you know i was on faculty at you know harvard and i and then after that i was part of a think tank that
00:08:36.200
met at the salk institute that had all these nobel laureates in science there and um and that was like
00:08:44.500
the you know like sort of like the pinnacle of you know for me was to be at a place where i was working
00:08:50.780
with great minds and when i was at johns hawkins i was trained by the best of the best i mean the person
00:08:55.980
who taught me neuroscience there was vernon mountcastle and he's the person who mapped out
00:09:01.280
the visual cortex and chimpanzees and and i went to johns hopkins precisely because i wanted to work
00:09:08.260
with the best of the best i i went to the institute of psychiatry in london and studied with sir michael
00:09:13.300
rutter back in 1987 and he was the world's expert on autism and i went to queen square which is the
00:09:21.480
mecca for neurologist you and did you ever so i so i really i really really wanted to be you know
00:09:28.640
in a you know a top scientist and then what i discovered when i got into these institutions
00:09:34.520
was that there was a certain ossification of thought they're afraid they're afraid aren't they
00:09:42.160
and and and and doesn't it and doesn't it doesn't it breed more fear because you're you want you
00:09:50.280
works look everybody wants to be popular everybody wants to be on the in crowd you know nobody is like
00:09:56.200
nobody ever says you know what i want to be a pariah you know you want to be popular um and so
00:10:02.280
everything is everything is set up in the world for you to want to be accepted especially by
00:10:09.120
whatever tribe it is you want to be a part of and when you go against that tribe but science should
00:10:17.920
be different science should be holding the people up who say you know what this is this is very risky
00:10:23.860
but it has to be said we don't know we you know for years people said there's no way you know god
00:10:30.840
doesn't play dice well look at quantum uh quantum computing right now it is real we just don't have
00:10:38.460
any idea how it works we we are we're infants playing with the universe and we have no idea
00:10:48.620
what we're doing but somehow or another we're arrogant enough just to keep saying no we know
00:10:52.440
exactly how it works and we don't right right and you know i think that well first of all i mean my
00:11:00.000
father was somebody who was doing really cutting-edge work i mean before he um became a cardiovascular
00:11:05.140
physiologist he was doing research at hanford he was he was doing um work to see what the biological
00:11:14.940
effects of plutonium were and his work helped to end the testing that was being done wow and then and
00:11:21.320
then so is that what gave you courage is that what gave you courage to stand you think your parents
00:11:27.160
your upbringing a lot of it a lot of it is a lot of it is my parents yeah my my father um i'll never
00:11:34.720
forget when i was in seventh grade my father wanted to see my science book and he um and he saw that it
00:11:43.240
said in there that a frog had four chambers to their heart and here my father was the head of the
00:11:48.600
artificial heart program and and and and he had a laboratory when i was a kid he had a laboratory in the
00:11:54.280
basement that um you know he would um monitor uh he would monitor animals after he had done surgery
00:12:01.400
on them and you know and when he was designing parts and and um and so i know if anybody knew
00:12:08.380
about how many chambers that there were in the right it was my father and he said but this is wrong and i
00:12:13.700
said you know i'm like how can that be and he said you can't believe everything you read you know that
00:12:18.820
there are mistakes and so i remember when i took my test and sure enough they had a question about
00:12:26.940
how many chambers were in the hearts of a frog and i had to put down three and i got it marked wrong but
00:12:34.000
i but i was at that was like uh that that says something about my personality even in seventh grade
00:12:40.280
where i i knew i had make a choice and i would choose to put down what i knew was the truth
00:12:46.600
rather than what was a lie because i knew that they were that they expected me to write down three
00:12:52.020
i mean write down four wow that it i mean that is such an important lesson for everybody today how
00:12:57.980
many people are going through school and they're just like just write down what they want you to
00:13:00.960
write down that's not the right thing to do um so let me just go back real quick um because what
00:13:07.100
you have to share is so fascinating but i'm fascinated by you um you got your license back you lost your
00:13:12.900
license and then you got your license back that's still used to discredit you by some well she lost
00:13:18.060
her license but you got your license back can you quickly just tie that story up oh sure um so what
00:13:25.800
happened is is i wrote a book titled the esp enigma a scientific case for psychic phenomena and in that
00:13:34.580
book what i did was i basically i described how incomplete the model of neuroscience was i mean if
00:13:41.440
anybody should know that it would be me having trained as a neuroscientist um i i discussed the
00:13:47.980
physics that was over 100 years old and the implications of that and then i also basically
00:13:57.180
gave a you know several um several examples of research that had been done by parapsychologists over
00:14:05.420
the past century that had positive results and results that were statistically significant
00:14:12.980
that it's so significant that they surpassed that of other branches of science that have accepted
00:14:21.500
other you know other data and so i'm just like there's a prejudice against this and so that's why i wrote
00:14:28.900
that book and what happened was after somebody reported me to the medical board for some you know
00:14:38.400
something that was really a trivial thing that i thought was going to go away i mean you know you
00:14:42.580
know a patient that um i had been taking care of had gotten a medical marijuana card and he was somebody
00:14:48.900
who if if he used marijuana it would make him become manic and he became manic and he refused to stop
00:14:55.600
smoking the marijuana and so he started doing strange things in public that embarrassed the family and
00:15:03.280
so they reported me to the board thinking i didn't know what i was doing and what happened though is
00:15:09.520
that a lot of people don't realize that medical boards are administrative law courts and they don't
00:15:15.280
work like the rest of the judicial system in in in a you know in a criminal proceeding or a civil law
00:15:24.400
you're guilty you're you're innocent until proven guilty right and in administrative law courts it's the
00:15:30.400
opposite you're guilty until proven innocent and so what happened is is that the psychiatrist reported to the board
00:15:39.080
that because i had written a book on esp and she hadn't read it she just saw the title you know because i'd written
00:15:46.400
a book on esp i must be engaging in magical thinking wow you know you know and and i think what it is is
00:15:55.200
that really you know what the board is thinking is like to even give esp any credibility at all is such
00:16:04.560
an insane thing to do this woman must be insane yeah and um and so you you really can't be mentally ill and
00:16:15.040
practice psychiatry so they're like we've got to pull her license right away because she's seeing
00:16:18.800
patients and how did you get it back so i got it back three months later at the next board meeting
00:16:26.160
and how i got it back was i underwent three days of intensive testing right you know everything from
00:16:33.520
personality testing she's testing and rorschach and i even had to see a neurologist to make sure that i
00:16:40.800
didn't have a brain tumor because you know i you know it was something medically wrong with me to
00:16:45.360
make me psychotic so i mean i i and i got a clean bill of health and um and so they really couldn't
00:16:54.160
justify keeping my license away from me based on my mental health anymore i have to tell you i don't i
00:16:59.680
mean i don't want to compare it to this at all in any way but i keep i'm reminded of the ghostbusters
00:17:05.920
where the women were the ghostbusters i don't know if you saw it but one of them wrote a book
00:17:09.920
on esp and she was discussed she had a great career and she was just discredited by it but
00:17:14.880
anyway um i digress sorry to get there more in just a second first the seasons are shifting the
00:17:21.440
air is getting cooler the days are getting shorter and while you're switching out your wardrobe or
00:17:25.600
putting an extra blanket on the bed something else is happening as well something you won't you
00:17:30.000
won't see until it's already inside out there in the leaves and the mulch and the crawl spaces
00:17:34.160
pests are on their move and spiders the ants the silverfish all of it is um you know they're coming
00:17:40.560
looking for the same thing a warm place to hide out for the winter and unless you make it clear
00:17:43.920
they're not welcome that place might be your house moxie pest control knows exactly how this plays out
00:17:50.000
because they've been through it a thousand times and they don't just show up and spray your house
00:17:54.480
they plan they strategize they build a perimeter they protect what's yours from everything that isn't
00:18:00.000
this is not about bugs this is about the line between what's out there and what belongs inside
00:18:04.240
your home the seasons may change but your peace of mind doesn't have to right now celebrate 25 years
00:18:09.760
in the business and you can get your first pest control service for just 25 visit moxieservices.com
00:18:15.760
beck and use the promo code beck okay let me go back to you going back in the 80s you go to england
00:18:24.720
you're studying with the guy who is the leading guy on autism and you're coming back here and
00:18:32.320
you're told there's just not enough cases of autism to really do anything with this information to be
00:18:39.600
able to continue to study here right absolutely yeah it was at that time it was um you know maybe you
00:18:48.800
know one or two per 10 000 children so what has happened i know this is a big question but what
00:18:54.800
has happened since then to now are we diagnosing more is more happening i know we'll get into this
00:19:01.120
later but i know you say it's over diagnosed or or misdiagnosed in several different ways you
00:19:06.720
say there's different forms or faces of it but what has happened since then well it is so
00:19:13.920
i would say that it's it's it's a combination of everything and that's part of why it's such a
00:19:19.920
confusing um area for people i think that back in the 80s it was under diagnosed okay and i i and
00:19:30.000
because we didn't know what it was well so here's the thing okay back in the 80s we had three um we had
00:19:41.360
three subcategories of autism it was before it all was lumped together as autism spectrum disorder
00:19:48.800
so so back in the 80s we we talked about asperger's syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder and
00:19:57.440
autism and they really were three different um conditions and asperger's is really more
00:20:05.360
this sort of really kind of nerdy introverted socially awkward um sort of individual peter
00:20:14.480
teal i met him um well i'm not gonna say yeah well i met him i mean you just described it you know yeah
00:20:20.720
and and and and and and so um but but it's a diagnosis that goes back to you know you know the
00:20:27.600
world war ii actually um and um so anyway um and so then we also had autism and autism was described
00:20:36.560
by leo canner and um and and a couple of the children in in that um study of 11 children had
00:20:45.360
regressed during development and um but the others were the children of extremely bright
00:20:52.560
um highly educated individuals and we're really more kind of you know like what we think of as
00:20:59.280
asperger's and so what happened is that asperger's was not it was not pathologized you know it's just
00:21:12.240
sort of like well that's just kind of you know the kid that's sort of a loner you know they're you know
00:21:17.040
they're really bright and you know a little eccentric but it wasn't you know turned into a
00:21:22.080
you know a psychiatric disorder and there's a huge difference between and so i would say that was
00:21:28.320
underdiagnosed you know we're now we're now diagnosing people like that with asperger's and
00:21:33.840
in fact it's almost become popular you know popular to say on the spectrum yeah okay so but then
00:21:40.880
the regressive form that's what's that's what's increased in in numbers that's where we've really
00:21:47.040
seen the true increase in numbers is is in that regressive form and we're also seeing more of the
00:21:52.720
asperger's because you have more and more um there's something called assortative mating where you have
00:21:58.640
uh individuals tend to be attracted to other people that are like them and so so i mean when in if you go
00:22:08.720
back a hundred years when we were less mobile and and women weren't going to college as much as they
00:22:13.840
are now you you didn't have this sort of more aspergy you know type you know male meeting a woman that was
00:22:21.920
a little more like that and and so so what you've you've had is you've had more and more of these
00:22:26.880
pairings of people and and and so you're getting you're having these children that's what i wasn't it
00:22:33.760
i'm trying to remember the author of the bell curve but i think he talks about that how
00:22:38.960
society changed and you started having pairings where it used to be maybe an intellectual but
00:22:43.840
married to somebody who wasn't an intellectual but now everybody started going to the same way
00:22:48.320
and so you think that played a role i think that that played a role yeah yeah um but but then the
00:22:55.200
other thing though is the these kids whose development is being disrupted right at the time that they're
00:23:00.880
starting to become social beings and develop language which those are the two criteria for
00:23:06.320
something being autism is that you have some developmental um you know anomaly in their
00:23:14.400
language and social skills um and and so that's that age that you know between um you know one and a
00:23:21.120
half and two and a half where we're really we're developing language we're really starting to really test out our
00:23:27.680
our separateness you know from you know that individuation separation stage of piaget and so
00:23:34.320
when something happens to interrupt development then you're going to you're you're getting somebody
00:23:39.360
who's being diagnosed as autistic but there's a lot of things that can disrupt development then i mean
00:23:45.600
you know and and there's a lot of things that are in our environment now that were not in our environment
00:23:50.800
before and and get released into the environment um without testing to see how do they affect brain
00:23:58.720
development because it's sort of like you can't really ethically do those tests right right then
00:24:02.720
when you're releasing things into the environment that can um have those effects then you know you know
00:24:09.600
it's where i believe that we're obligated to try to figure out what's what and um in that in that kind of
00:24:16.000
what we're i mean i really want to get to the telepathy part of this because it's so crazy changed
00:24:20.800
game changing but i i don't want to just brush this off this is kind of what jfk or rfk is doing now
00:24:26.960
right i mean do you have any thoughts on the on the tylenol stuff or you know our food and i don't want
00:24:33.040
to get deeply into it but that's the kind of stuff maybe not that specific but that's the kind of stuff
00:24:38.240
you're talking about we have a responsibility to look for these things right we do have a responsibility to
00:24:44.720
look at these things and um and and i appreciate that that's finally happening now right and i i think
00:24:52.640
that you know in a way what they've announced already is some of the low-hanging fruit
00:24:58.800
he's been made into a nut job for even saying if that's the low-hanging fruit wait until we get to
00:25:04.800
the hard fruit to pick because they've just torn him apart they're doing to him what they did to you
00:25:10.240
i know i know and um i you know i you know and i really you know i really respect i must say that
00:25:21.840
you know it's inspiring to see you know other people who like me are willing to you know take
00:25:26.480
the slings and arrows and um because you know you're doing the right thing and i i care deeply about
00:25:33.360
children and our future generations and um and i you know and i i really and i care about humanity
00:25:41.520
i mean i don't want us to go extinct and in many ways i think that these children with these
00:25:47.200
developmental disorders are um they're like the canaries in the coal mine so let me ask you because
00:25:53.360
there's i read something years ago that i don't remember who said it but it just stuck with me and i
00:26:00.960
wondered it as i was listening to the telepathy tapes um some researcher said that he felt there was a
00:26:09.120
possibility that some with who are diagnosed with uh with autism are actually a step ahead on the
00:26:18.400
evolutionary scale that they're that they are um they are adapting you know to something that is coming
00:26:26.000
i what i what i what i pulled from that was um uh that we are um that that autism may be
00:26:38.640
not a curse but it may be a blessing that we just don't understand yet is does that sound reasonable or is
00:26:47.040
that crazy no it's it's very reasonable absolutely um i think that one of the one of the
00:26:55.920
features of these autistic individuals is that they their cognitive style is different than ours so
00:27:03.120
so so the highest percentage of people are what are called verbal thinkers you know the the way that
00:27:10.160
they think is in a very you know analytical linear way and the autistic individuals have predominantly
00:27:20.720
either what's called visual spatial thinking or pattern recognition as their process and those
00:27:27.920
those are superior to verbal thinking and and one of the reasons why they're superior to verbal thinking
00:27:34.960
is that first of all they're faster you know it's it's it's like the difference between a digital
00:27:40.080
computer and a quantum computer it's it's gestalt thinking where you you just see the whole thing at once
00:27:46.960
as opposed to having to figure it out bit by bit um people who have visual spatial thinking they can
00:27:57.360
like nikola tesla they can design something in their mind and you know and analyze it from every
00:28:03.280
angle test it out and everything before they even build it correct and and and and then pattern
00:28:09.360
thinkers and and i'm a pattern thinker uh i think i am too they're the ones who connect the dots yes
00:28:16.960
and and and so that's what we need now we need that the verb the problem with the verbal processing
00:28:26.800
is not only is it slow but it can be deceptive yeah look at how well look at how we can talk we can
00:28:39.200
rationalize and talk ourselves into believing a lot of things that are not true yes and and so that
00:28:46.000
source of knowledge where it comes from what you um build an argument for it's it's it's like what
00:28:54.960
a lot of attorneys do and politicians do everybody you know they they they sell you on a bit of good
00:29:00.160
right goods you know they you know they and they make a rational and they and you follow it you go oh
00:29:04.800
yeah you know and that's the that's the primrose path and if that's your source of knowledge
00:29:10.720
versus knowledge where it's just like boom i see it all fits together correct all of the everything
00:29:17.200
converges into this this thing that's closer to truth so and what we need to solve the problems today
00:29:28.880
is that kind of thinking more in just a second first medicare costs are a silent thief thousands of
00:29:35.280
your dollars just vanish if you pick the wrong plan and there's a lot of americans out there
00:29:40.080
who have been you know taken in by slick advisors promising great plans only to find out later that
00:29:45.280
things like their co-pays are now bleeding them dry chapter is different i've met with these people
00:29:50.800
personally they founded the whole company specifically because their own parents got taken in with terrible
00:29:56.080
medicare programs and they just trusted and they when they found out they were like they were in
00:30:01.920
silicon valley they're like we have to turn ai into something that can help so this doesn't happen
00:30:06.640
to other people's parents um chapter is what they started and they don't just guide you they search
00:30:13.120
every single plan from every character uh carrier and it's done with technology so sharp it cuts through
00:30:19.760
all of the noise these are licensed advisors and they have no hidden agendas they're not working for
00:30:24.720
anybody any of these insurance carriers okay other american other medicare advisors cherry pick
00:30:30.880
plans that pad their pockets chapter puts you first dial pound 250 say the keyword chapter it's
00:30:36.160
pound 250 keyword chapter or go to ask chapter.org slash beck there's a book um about security um and
00:30:46.480
it's it was it's by gavin de becker um and it's called the gift of fear and i think this is what you have
00:30:53.040
you read it have you read it okay um and he talks about fear is a gift if you you begin to listen to
00:31:01.360
it not not over fear but it dogs bark for a reason we will always say you know what that serial killer
00:31:12.160
lived next door to me for years and yeah they were a little off but i just never saw this coming but the
00:31:16.240
dog probably barked every time because there's a gift of fear but we rationalize it out and so we
00:31:23.040
dismiss too many of the scene too many of the things that are actually important not to dismiss but i think
00:31:32.400
that's kind of what you're you're talking about here so when when you have somebody and and let's talk
00:31:38.560
specifically how you got in with this group and started finding these what you found these these
00:31:46.480
kids or people that that you have been studying is it that is it that they they couldn't speak and so
00:31:56.000
it's kind of like when you're you know if you're blind they say your your your hearing becomes more
00:32:01.680
acute because you just you have to is it that they couldn't speak and so they found different ways or
00:32:08.480
did they find different ways for some reason and that just caused them to not communicate that way
00:32:14.080
does that make sense to you yeah yeah yeah no absolutely yeah so i mean during the first um
00:32:22.080
i mean our brain remains what we call plastic for our whole life in terms of its ability to remodel
00:32:27.760
itself but it is really you know plastic in the beginning at you know those first four years and so and
00:32:35.360
you know really what you're doing in the learning process is you're basically sculpting your brain
00:32:40.160
and there are certain things that are essential you you know functions that one of them is um
00:32:47.840
navigation you know and and so that's why if you have people that are born blind they'll oftentimes be
00:32:54.400
able to navigate using their auditory system they they you know there's right famous uh echolocator
00:33:01.440
uh named daniel case who basically he he emits clicks and it and and then he's able to map out
00:33:10.480
crazy the world and even you know mountain climb ride a bike and all this stuff
00:33:16.240
using the information he gets from the waves you know the coming back bouncing off his environment and so
00:33:23.440
you know and that's that's really what we do is we you know our brains decode information that's
00:33:30.240
contained in waves you know whether they're sound waves or light waves and so another essential
00:33:37.120
function is communication and and when you are a child you're independent upon you know the other for
00:33:47.280
for everything um communication is critical correct and and and you know being social you know we want
00:33:55.040
to know kind of what are other people thinking you know and and so so like navigation communication is
00:34:03.280
that um that important and if you don't if you're deprived of the typical communication then you use what i
00:34:10.720
i think is a default system and i think that i think that what they're using is a if you could think of
00:34:18.800
it as almost like a proto language that you know that they're able to access information just like for
00:34:29.280
example you know dogs can pick things up you know it's it's a more primal sense that i think we all
00:34:36.160
have but it's but it's but what happens is it gets buried it gets buried in it in it and it atrophies
00:34:42.160
to some extent because you don't use it because they're using it is that how they grow because they
00:34:47.120
you talk in the and you demonstrate it's amazing what you demonstrate they know history they know
00:34:52.400
philosophy things they never learned they were never exposed to so is that just because they
00:34:58.880
they they didn't filter all these things out and so this this skill grew or or what where is that
00:35:08.240
coming from well okay so what you're talking about is um something called savant syndrome which comes
00:35:15.680
from the latin savar which means to know and there are cases that go back hundreds of years we used to
00:35:23.360
call them idiot savants right i'm sure that's not used to yeah but that just meant we didn't
00:35:28.640
understand them but once you understood them they were way ahead of everybody else yeah i mean the
00:35:34.720
the yeah that name came from the fact that it's it's not it's different a savant is different from a
00:35:40.640
genius and in in the sense that they usually have deficits somewhere so it's sort of like you
00:35:51.120
you've robbed peter to pay paul okay okay yeah you've given up something okay okay but now you've got
00:35:57.920
you've got this you know superpower and um and so most savants are autistic and uh the second most uh
00:36:10.480
common category of savants are people who are blind and and so in both of those cases you have something
00:36:18.240
that as i said it it takes you away from you know the uh it takes you away from the normal path to
00:36:27.200
meeting those basic functions of navigation and communication and puts you back into something
00:36:32.800
that precedes that um and so with savants um i mean there was this boy who back in the early 1800s
00:36:44.080
um he was like five years old hadn't even been to school and he was like spouting you know mathematical
00:36:50.160
equations and solving them and and um and he even went around and demonstrated this to people in
00:36:57.760
public where do you think this is coming from because you're you're well that's what i've been
00:37:03.200
working on i've been working on a theory for that because see that because that's the thing is that
00:37:08.000
besides knowing about modern physics i knew about savant syndrome because of having met oliver
00:37:14.400
sacks back in 1986 when i was at johns hopkins and he had just published this book the man who mistook
00:37:22.000
his wife for a hat and he talked in that book about these two identical twins who were institutionalized
00:37:28.480
who were autistic that he had evaluated who could just spit out prime numbers in six digits consecutive
00:37:37.920
ones back and forth and there was no good algorithm for prime numbers and they and they were the
00:37:42.800
kids said that they weren't deriving the numbers that they just appeared to them they just saw the
00:37:47.120
numbers and oliver sacks tested them and validated their prime numbers up to 12 digits the kids actually
00:37:55.680
generated them even in 20 digits but sacks couldn't validate that because the computers in the 60s couldn't
00:38:02.800
do it and yet so they exceeded computational capacity and when i heard about savant syndrome and i of course
00:38:12.240
heard about that before i met this patient at cambridge i was thinking okay this is another
00:38:17.040
example even though it was shocking to me i still was i was like this is another example of somebody
00:38:22.560
knowing information that we think we shouldn't have access to that that we don't it doesn't fit the
00:38:29.680
model and i was like well if i'm going to have a complete model of how the brain works then i can't just
00:38:37.760
dismiss certain yes i have to be able to include them too yes and and so so the reality is that i
00:38:48.480
think that what these autistic savants are showing us is that we have a lot of things inverted in terms
00:38:55.600
of the way that we think about things it's almost like so you think of plato and the platonic realm
00:39:00.720
you know you know that that that that you know these idealist you know philosophers talked about
00:39:06.880
how you know that that that precedes you know the the the the manifestation of something it gets back
00:39:16.720
into like you know a lot of scriptures and esoteric um things where they say first was the word yes
00:39:24.400
you know and so it's sort of like you know so it's all about kind of the art of creation the art of
00:39:29.920
manifestation but it also but it also goes to more of a uh lack of a better term a universal mind you
00:39:41.280
know it's always struck me that we invented airplanes on three different continents almost at the same
00:39:48.160
time you know i mean it's almost like there's these things where you all of a sudden people can
00:39:53.360
pierce through into a universal knowledge set absolutely absolutely and so my model for um and
00:40:03.280
and my next book will be coming out in in uh fall of 26 um is really uh looking at the brain as being
00:40:10.720
more like a device like like my smartphone that that that enables me to surf the cloud that that information
00:40:18.000
is really not you know it's not in here yes this is just my this is just my tool and that there is
00:40:27.920
that that the actual the part of the brain the hippocampus that's involved in memory and involved
00:40:35.360
in navigating physical space i mean you know somebody you know people got a nobel prize you know for
00:40:40.080
discovering the cells and the hippocampus that are involved in our navigation of space well the hippocampus is
00:40:45.760
also involved in laying out memory and and i think that what we're what what what it it it helps us
00:40:51.040
navigate both physical and mental space and that mental space can be our own personal sort of field
00:40:58.080
of consciousness but we can also then depending upon um you know our own you know practices and filters and
00:41:07.600
what that that we can actually go beyond that and and and gain access to um you know you know uh the
00:41:16.640
universal field if you so let me um why don't you spend a few minutes just talking about the telepathy
00:41:27.280
tapes and these kids that you you found and started finding them all over the world and what they can do
00:41:35.200
do sure so um so what happened was is that i after i wrote my book the esp enigma i was invited to
00:41:45.920
india to meet these savants because i i said in the book that i thought that um that basically what
00:41:52.880
savants were doing was the same as esp and i knew that savant syndrome was accepted by science so i saw
00:41:58.560
that as my sort of my you know my you are good yes you're good you can connect the dots i see that
00:42:09.920
yeah and and and so um so i went over there to study these savants and um and they had you know
00:42:16.320
these skills that were really remarkable um you know this one boy um but but a lot of the skills were
00:42:22.480
like we're we're esp as far as i'm concerned this this one boy he would he would see illness in other
00:42:30.080
people and he would like so for example the the doctor told uh the story of where the the boy touched
00:42:36.320
this woman's breast and and and he said ma'am he says i you know i want you to know you better get a
00:42:42.080
mammogram because he doesn't touch people unless they have illness somewhere and she had a mammogram
00:42:46.800
and sure no she had breast cancer breast and um and and you know and then another you know another
00:42:54.320
child who was your sort of more typical savant who he's like five years old and he he knew a lot of
00:43:00.160
things in in math and science that i mean he'd never been taught um and just as i was getting ready to
00:43:08.000
leave india this the woman who had worked for the government there um with these children um who had
00:43:15.040
invited me over there she said oh by the way they're all telepathic and um they're telepathic
00:43:19.440
with one another and i'm like what wow i'm like well i would have loved to have tested for that but
00:43:24.960
i was literally i was getting ready to leave and so i came back to the states and i was on various you
00:43:33.040
know interviews and we i mean we podcast back then we're you know what they are today you know this
00:43:39.440
was like um you know back in 2013 and um but people were familiar with my work and i said i really
00:43:50.320
wanted to test you know children who were autistic who might be telepathic and i was contacted by this
00:43:57.600
family and they had a a daughter that they said we have we have a daughter who's telepathic with two
00:44:04.880
different therapists who come to the home to work with her and so daryl trefford and i both evaluated
00:44:13.760
this child in a scientific fashion it was really in a scientific way you did it just brilliant very
00:44:20.480
good for you yeah but go ahead yeah yeah and so so the story of this girl was that her her her father
00:44:27.520
who was familiar with the idea of mathematical savants thought she was a mathematical savant because
00:44:32.480
even though she had she she didn't do regular arithmetic she could solve very complex mathematical
00:44:39.680
problems and so the therapist was working with her in the home one day and her calculator died and so
00:44:46.880
she used a different means of doing the calculation and this she used an ipad and it wasn't in this girl's
00:44:54.720
um line of vision at all and it gave the answer in logarithmic notation and haley spelled on her
00:45:04.480
talker she had a you know a device where you you you it's like a keyboard that then gives you an
00:45:09.920
electronic voice she typed onto it the logarithmic notation instead and and and the therapist is like
00:45:17.440
how wait a minute wait a minute how did you know that you know and and she said well i can i can
00:45:24.480
see the numerators and denominators in your head you know she's basically i'm reading your mind and
00:45:28.400
then and then the therapist started asking her questions that that she knew the answers to and
00:45:32.640
she's like blown away and then then similarly a second therapist who was working in the home discovered
00:45:38.160
it through some you know accidents and so so when i went there to to evaluate them i um i put a
00:45:47.920
barrier a visual barrier between the child and the therapist and i had cameras through you know all
00:45:55.920
over the room i had them you know above and on all the walls and um and then the cameraman and i were in
00:46:03.200
another room you know getting a feed you know from you know the cameras that we could monitor
00:46:08.800
everything and i had already taken numbers and words and pictures and everything and had randomized
00:46:16.960
them and and and given them to the the therapist as a stack for her to one by one you know turn over
00:46:23.440
and see what it was and then think it and say to haley okay you know type you know type in your talk
00:46:31.520
yeah yeah yeah and um and these tests came back and this is stunning to me these tests come back
00:46:39.840
10 out of 10 you ask 10 questions you get 10 right answers right i mean if it was
00:46:46.080
it was close i mean it's it's it's between 90 it's between 97 you know
00:46:53.040
but if you had if you had 70 right you would think that would be on the front page of every
00:46:58.080
page of every paper you have 97 of the time it's right that's way beyond statistic anything
00:47:07.680
absolutely absolutely and that's the reason why so so back up a bit um so you know after i got my
00:47:17.280
license back from the medical board i i was determined to do two things and the first thing was
00:47:23.040
i was going to find evidence that would be convincing okay to the skeptics and i knew that
00:47:28.560
there was all this evidence that was out there that was even though it was statistically significant
00:47:34.640
it wasn't like knock your socks off you know so let's say if chances that you get 25
00:47:41.840
of the answers right right and you're scoring at 35 right i mean nobody's going to lose sleep over
00:47:48.160
that right um 97 changes you that changes you and and i realized that these autistic savants that
00:47:58.480
there's there they're a whole order of a magnitude better than than any of the other you know psyche
00:48:06.800
and their literature out there and and and i i realized that with the savant skills and then you know just
00:48:12.560
ergo if you know if if if that's true for the savant skills why couldn't i then do that with you know
00:48:18.240
these esp skills and and sure enough i you know i found that they could in if i'm not mistaken i mean
00:48:24.640
it's been a long time since i listened to it um but moms were were connected more than anybody else
00:48:31.280
right or they would read their mothers maybe i'm remembering it that incorrectly but there was a
00:48:37.600
there was something with the mothers that were thinking my child can read my mind and it was the
00:48:45.040
moms that were either the first to discover or there was a bigger a higher percentage that could
00:48:50.320
do it with their mom is that right well that well that's yeah i i'd say that um typically you know it
00:48:57.040
is a mother but it but it can also be somebody who's not related at all at all either speech therapist
00:49:02.960
or you know the um you know the aba you know person that's working with them right but i mean
00:49:09.280
first it's someone they develop a bond with right usually and it was and if i'm not mistaken it was
00:49:14.000
first moms thinking this is correct right that's not even possible that we're reaching out to you
00:49:20.240
saying i i know i'm not crazy but this sounds crazy right yeah so the the so the people that reach out to
00:49:28.480
me are um they're typically extremely well educated and they're reaching out to me not only because they
00:49:38.720
have a child who's telepathic and they had some experience where they're going oh my god could
00:49:44.720
an autistic kid be telepathic and then they do a google search my name gets pulled up but a lot of
00:49:50.800
them the reason why they're contacting me is that this it was a shock to them it's not that they were you
00:49:57.920
know themselves you know came from a family where everybody's psychic or they're woo-woo or you know
00:50:02.960
they're into it was you in at cambridge yeah yeah exactly you know they they're having it in their own
00:50:09.840
home they can't escape from it and they don't know what to do with it and they're really desperate to
00:50:15.840
um understand what's going on and and then also they want to know how do i raise a kid like this
00:50:23.520
because they're like you know these kids one of the things that's funny is that um they you know
00:50:29.600
they can cheat so easily in their schoolwork wow you know and and and so the parents are like how do i
00:50:37.360
get them an education when all they have to do is just read it just yeah all they have to do is just
00:50:46.400
you know read the teacher's mind or whatever that's so funny you know it's it's kind of like what we're
00:50:51.760
faced with now with ai you know people are like how do we get these kids to learn how to think you
00:50:57.520
know if they're just using ai to do the thinking for them the thing that i was really struck by and
00:51:04.640
it's always bothered me with um stephen hawking i love stephen hawking's work and uh i was a big
00:51:12.480
fan of reading just the way his mind worked the way he was willing to see things differently
00:51:16.880
and i thought you know 40 years ago uh if he would have lived 40 years earlier everybody would
00:51:25.920
have been talking to him about putting in a very childlike voice and he would have been trapped in
00:51:32.160
his body doing three-dimensional models of the universe and he had to be in screaming my my grandfather had
00:51:41.200
strokes and i remember he could not speak but i remember he would try and a tear would come down
00:51:47.440
his cheek and i i was very young and i remember you can be trapped in your body my grandfather is in a
00:51:54.960
prison of his own body and and the same thing when i saw stephen hawking i'm like oh my gosh thank god for
00:52:03.760
technology because he would have spent his whole life people talking down to him like he was you know
00:52:09.840
not there at all and that's the thing that these kids are saying the first thing they say is i'm a
00:52:15.520
human i'm smart absolutely thank you for bringing that up because it's such an important piece of this um
00:52:25.840
when i met hayley and and you know and saw this telepathy i i really wanted to understand um
00:52:34.720
um you know her brain and and understand what was going on and so i wanted to understand how she
00:52:41.680
learned to communicate doing the the typing and so i i i took a workshop with a couple of different
00:52:52.240
people who teach that technique just so that i could see what are you what are you doing here
00:52:56.160
and and and and a light bulb went on for me when um this this woman who um uh is a speech therapist
00:53:05.280
um on faculty um at a university and um somewhere on the east coast i don't remember right now um
00:53:12.640
when she said that these these children the issue is really in their motors their sensory motor system
00:53:20.400
it's not in their ability to understand speech and i knew having trained as a neuropsychiatrist
00:53:28.720
that people can have a stroke in what's called brocus area which is in the left frontal lobe
00:53:34.720
and that affects your expression of speech which it also affects your expression of language in general
00:53:41.840
so also your ability to type is impaired as well and um and that there's another part of the brain called
00:53:49.440
wernicke's and that's the understanding of language and that's that's in more posterior part of the brain
00:53:58.480
and then there's this cable if you will yeah um that connects the two that is not fully formed until
00:54:06.560
we're seven years old where you know we're myelinating the brain and you know developing pathways
00:54:11.600
so anyway so it's that pathway that gets disrupted
00:54:19.600
in these autistic kids who regressed during develop the development so so and and and so
00:54:25.840
so they can't express the language but we're in a keys area the ability to understand language
00:54:34.320
is already formed when you're born so so it's so you so that that didn't get disrupted
00:54:41.200
it it's it's it's it's like you have the it's like having the um it's like having the app is installed
00:54:50.320
wow you know but you can't use it yet uh because you need some kind of cable that enables it to
00:54:57.360
link to something else and so so so it made sense to me that these children were just like these other
00:55:06.240
individuals who i knew who'd had strokes the problem is is because it happened so early in
00:55:11.680
their development they're not given the benefit of doubt the way we would somebody that oh we see
00:55:16.480
in the ct scan they've got you know they've got the stroke here and therefore um we'll put them in
00:55:21.920
occupational therapy well speech therapy we'll try to get their speech back and you presume
00:55:27.920
that they're still intact in these other ways but you still don't like we don't give these children
00:55:32.800
that benefit of doubt you know um my daughter had strokes at birth and um and you know they said
00:55:40.160
she would never walk or feed herself or anything else and she's fine she went to college and but she
00:55:45.120
has a very difficult time with incoming and outgoing speech that's that's where she was hit um and
00:55:54.160
i feel for these parents because honestly i feel like the worst parent in the world at times because
00:56:04.800
i don't know how to communicate i don't it it's so different and i don't honestly i have spent
00:56:16.400
35 years praying every day help me help me help me i don't know how to communicate
00:56:23.120
and all of these parents that i know that have autistic children they are so they don't they're
00:56:33.040
lost and they love their children they just don't know what to do how do you have any advice what what
00:56:47.360
i'm i am somebody who i'm not just a scientist i'm a clinician and my heart really you know has
00:56:58.000
been so touched by these families you know and looking at the challenges that they have and so
00:57:03.200
you know they're they're they're it's like on the one hand there's these amazing gifts and then yet at
00:57:07.920
the same time there are these um you know significant you know heart-wrenching challenges
00:57:13.760
that a lot of these children have yeah and and and so so i have a new you know i've just recently
00:57:21.360
started a new non-profit you know research institute because what i want to do is not only
00:57:27.040
continue to research their gifts i want to see how can we help them live to their fullest human
00:57:33.040
potential and it's weird when you say that isn't it i really believe that we can do that i really
00:57:39.680
do i mean there are certain things that um i want to investigate that i think could really really help
00:57:46.720
these children um when you and because the pain it goes both ways because the i have mothers who say
00:57:53.680
to me i want to know my child yeah it's not just the heartache of the child saying oh no i know i know
00:58:02.480
i know but when you say you know we want to help them live to their fullest i have to tell you i i did
00:58:09.120
a lot of work with special olympics um when i was younger and i walked away from that experience
00:58:17.120
saying they're not the ones with special needs i'm the one with special needs the way they connect
00:58:27.120
with love and the world and everything else i wish i was more like that so when when you say
00:58:35.120
you know i want them to live their fullest human experience
00:58:40.320
you know i'm a little afraid of that in a way because you don't want to
00:58:44.240
take you know i don't want i the worst thing we can do is teach our kids how to live like wheat
00:58:50.560
if they have this special gift to teach them how to live like us you know what i mean oh no that's
00:58:55.520
right and that yeah and and i am not saying at all that i want them to be like us right at all right
00:59:01.920
okay what i'm talking about is that a lot of them um have physical pain
00:59:08.160
yeah you know they're not that they're they you know and so they they have really bad days sometimes
00:59:15.920
because they're in so much pain that they will engage in self-destructive behaviors just to make
00:59:24.000
the pain go away yeah yeah yeah just to have a different pain to focus on yeah and um and so that's
00:59:30.480
what i mean i i i i know that they um so you know you have you can't lump them all together
00:59:38.160
no i know i know some children that you have some children that don't have physical pain
00:59:42.080
okay and and and and so what i'm talking about is that um they have medical issues you know underlying
00:59:51.360
medical issues that i really believe that we could address their medical issues and not take away their
00:59:58.080
gifts i i think that their gifts are um and and and i have you know i have reason to you know believe
01:00:06.400
that i mean it's not just it's not just theoretical i mean there are children who've gotten their medical
01:00:12.320
conditions you know under better control yeah and um and they and what they have is they have more
01:00:19.760
autonomy you know like for example this one boy um he had a fecal transplant because oftentimes the
01:00:28.240
problem is in the gut with the microbiome and he had a fecal transplant um that when one of his older
01:00:34.400
siblings is the donor and and now he can like he can go in the kitchen and cook himself something
01:00:40.960
that's huge that's huge you know be able to ride a bike you know it's huge you know and um and so that's
01:00:47.440
the kind of thing i'm talking about he's still telepathic with his mother um because a lot of
01:00:52.640
these children want to have they don't want to be like us right but they they still desire some of the
01:00:58.480
same things they want to get married they want to have children they want to get an education every
01:01:04.000
it's like we were saying at the beginning nobody wants to be an outcast you want to be like everybody
01:01:08.800
else to some degree final segment uh with the good doctor here in just a second first one of the things
01:01:15.440
that i have learned is that the simplest solutions are usually the best and when it comes to hearing
01:01:20.960
simplicity really matters um i have heard from friends who are so frustrated with hearing aids
01:01:27.680
the tiny little buttons that you hear or the apps on their phone and you're constantly i mean technology
01:01:32.800
just doesn't make sense sometimes finally somebody has fixed it it's called the atom x and it's from
01:01:38.800
audion this is the world's first over-the-counter touch screen hearing aid a real touch screen
01:01:44.880
built right into the case no fiddling no squinting just you know no little gadgets tap the screen
01:01:50.640
adjust and you're instantly hearing better the atom x it was designed by audiologists to understand real
01:01:56.320
people it's simple it's clear it's ready right out of the box no prescription no waiting no frustration
01:02:03.040
traditional hearing aids they cost thousands of dollars audion hearing aids start at 98 and they'll
01:02:10.160
give you the clarity you need for family dinners church tv whatever don't wait visit audionhearing.com
01:02:17.760
take control of your hearing today can you can you take us to the hill
01:02:28.960
yeah yeah so so the hill is a concept that i first heard about when i was in atlanta um and i met
01:02:38.160
um houston um and he used this um in his early 20s you know this autistic boy that um you know very
01:02:47.680
telepathic with his mother katie and and they're they're in the telepathy tapes and um and they were
01:02:53.200
friends with libby who is a speech therapist who had an autistic son named john paul and john paul and houston
01:03:06.160
both said that they went to the hill and their mother said that they go into their room and they'll
01:03:14.560
you know they'll put like pillows over their head or whatever and and then they'll go and they'll talk
01:03:18.560
with all of these other non-speaking autistic kids on this hill and you know and it's a it's a not the way
01:03:26.080
it was described is it's this non-physical place so it's it's more um it's more in the um spiritual
01:03:35.760
realm it's in the spiritual realm yeah and they they say it's guarded by angels and that they go there
01:03:43.520
and they they're taught by the angels and they teach each other and um and that it's a lot of fun sounds
01:03:49.520
very blissful and um and peaceful and i thought when i first heard of it i thought oh well that's
01:03:57.680
really interesting but you know i just thought it because john paul and houston knew each other
01:04:02.720
you know i the fact that they were both talking about it didn't really mean that much to me but
01:04:07.120
then what happened was is that these other individuals in totally different parts of the
01:04:11.680
country started saying you know mentioned their kid going to the hill and so then it then it became
01:04:19.360
obvious that this is a thing and if you if you look at um spiritual traditions um the eastern spiritual
01:04:31.280
traditions they talk about a place that sounds just like the hill and it and it really is a spiritual
01:04:39.600
realm that you can that you can go to when you reach a certain um level of spiritual development yeah
01:04:51.760
and and so you know and and and so that's what i think you know it's like in a way i think that we all
01:04:58.880
come from the hill okay and what happens is is as we identify more and more with this identity
01:05:10.400
that you know as diane or glenn or whoever it identify with that we become more and more
01:05:16.880
disconnected from the source that we come from we become you know whether you want to say that we
01:05:22.560
become disconnected from god or we become disconnected from you know whatever you want
01:05:27.920
to call that we become disconnected from the divine and we we become more and more um
01:05:34.080
immersed in the minutiae of daily life and thinking about what i want what i you know right i think
01:05:42.320
what i this and it's this divisive sort of mentality and so i see it is that we're sort of we come from
01:05:50.400
the hill and we sort of descend down the hill and now what we what we need to do is we need to learn
01:05:56.400
how to climb the hill back up we need to learn how to and i think that these autistic kids it's almost
01:06:02.800
like there are sherpa guides to the hill it's um i've always i believe my faith teaches too that that
01:06:13.520
we're born forgetful but we know who we are you know um but
01:06:20.640
but but but our goal in life is to remember just remember and everything in life is crowding it out
01:06:32.880
and and and and and help you forget and you can get really lost but it it's it's it's i found the i
01:06:42.720
found your work to be extraordinarily spiritual don't know exactly how i feel about things on everything
01:06:49.280
but i found it to be extra it just all rang true to me did you get to a point to where you're like
01:06:57.760
this is i don't know how i know this but i know this to be true
01:07:02.640
oh 100 i mean there's um yeah there's a certain the way that everything just all fits together it
01:07:14.240
it it there's a confidence that i have that's that's a knowing i mean a lot of these things
01:07:19.520
it's not just a belief you know it's a knowing i and i i've been a truth seeker my whole life and
01:07:26.720
i i started out as you know um you know in the scientific paradigm and the deeper i got into science
01:07:36.320
the more and more spiritual i became because i i i i i just saw how exquisite
01:07:46.400
god has here is i don't understand how science doesn't understand that it god has got to be the
01:07:54.720
world's greatest scientist if god exists it's he is unbelievably precise what how do you miss that
01:08:03.840
they go hand in glove it it's it's tremendous hubris for us to think that we could ever design
01:08:10.960
anything like it that is better yeah you know we've designed things that are poor imitations up
01:08:19.360
and and and so one of the things that's so sad to me is that what i'm really so many of us who become
01:08:28.000
scientists we get attracted to science because of the basic sciences and and you know and that's
01:08:33.840
really studying you know the nature of reality okay and then what happens is is that we then when you go
01:08:39.920
and you get a job you have to apply that science and and usually you're not getting paid unless the
01:08:46.160
the application results in some product that's gonna make money for somebody right and so the people who
01:08:51.120
are who fell in love with chemistry are then having to be you know they're going to pharmaceutical
01:08:56.800
industry or you know people that fall in love with physics have to go into the defense industry or
01:09:01.920
you know we get channeled into these applications and the basic sciences are poorly funded just like the
01:09:13.600
just like the arts and and and i think that it's because of both of those trends in our educational
01:09:21.920
system that we have the world that we have today that that it you know if we if we brought back more
01:09:31.280
arts into the educational system then we would have a more balanced brain i think it's not just focused
01:09:38.720
on left hemisphere kinds of processing and and and similarly if we if we taught if we if we taught the beauty of
01:09:48.320
nature and what not we'd have more of an appreciation for the natural world i i have to tell you i i i agree
01:09:54.880
with you i think i agree with you um uh i think it is i mean science has hurt itself so horribly in the last
01:10:04.720
five years six years with the rigid it's this way don't even question science um it's the hubris that i
01:10:13.360
think hurts science it's science should be all about discovery and oh my gosh what if this is true
01:10:22.080
what else is possible you know we we we learn something about the brain and then that's absolutely
01:10:29.840
true and you're like no you know have you not learned anything from science it's only true until
01:10:35.280
it's not true until we learn the next step and then that doesn't make that not true it just means you're
01:10:41.600
on the road to truth science is always on the road to truth there is no destination
01:10:48.160
you know what i mean it's you're never you never arrive stop saying you've arrived at the truth
01:10:55.920
absolutely absolutely it's it's a process yes it's a it's a process and you're always you put a theory
01:11:03.760
out there as your best best approximation of the truth and then and then your job as a scientist is
01:11:09.280
actually to try to disprove it you know the null hypothesis and the scientific method is that you
01:11:14.320
say okay can i disprove this and and so a lot of science moves forward by saying well i can't
01:11:20.720
disprove that right so that's still that's still the operating theory well when you start getting
01:11:25.760
some of these exceptions that tell you that something's wrong with your theory it's no longer
01:11:30.320
science i know right exactly right and and it's it's more what like rubert sheldrake calls scientism
01:11:38.800
you know it's it's it's it's it's as dogmatic as some of the most dogmatic religions because it
01:11:44.880
because they become more more wedded to to that belief system than to what you know what really is the
01:11:56.720
the truth and i don't i i agree with you i don't understand how science doesn't understand they've
01:12:02.480
become they're no longer galileo they're the catholic church you know what i mean that locking
01:12:08.000
him up in the tower you know you can't say that well you you want the truth or you don't want the
01:12:14.320
truth i'm not going to change it but i mean it's weird how we always we always seem to lose the balance
01:12:21.040
of things and i think that's arts and science is what you were talking about yeah yeah we we really
01:12:27.520
need to have um we we need to be also stimulating curiosity and kids you know they i mean school is
01:12:37.120
not a pleasant experience for them and for for me i mean my father um i i you know i may have been i
01:12:45.520
you know it's hard for me to separate out you know what was like my natural nature versus how much of it
01:12:50.240
it was the influence of my father but i i i just know that i was always curious and um
01:12:59.520
and i still am i mean and and i when i went to medical school at johns hopkins one of the things
01:13:08.160
they said to us and johns hopkins was a very very unusual medical school i mean um they um very they
01:13:17.680
they wanted people who would be the ones who were going to be doing cutting edge stuff you know
01:13:23.600
that that's the reputation of johns hopkins and i remember being told very early on half of what
01:13:30.240
you're going to learn here by the time your career is over you'll find out it's incorrect
01:13:35.840
and it's your job to try to figure out which house right which house wrong that is great and i thought
01:13:40.960
that that that is not a message that is taught to most medical students um and it's one of the
01:13:48.400
reasons why a lot of people i stayed at johns hopkins for you know i was there for eight years and one of
01:13:53.520
the reasons why people um often times never leave is because you're you're in that kind of uh an environment
01:14:02.720
where um you're you're encouraged to um do something novel you know and and and usually people don't
01:14:13.680
you know like for me i i made a big reach you know um you know usually people will do something that's
01:14:19.520
novel that's not quite such a earth-shaking kind of you know paradigm shift but for me it was like i
01:14:28.640
i i didn't set out thinking i was going to change the paradigm like this right it just presented
01:14:33.920
itself to me and i couldn't walk away can i ask you a phrase that i read from emmanuel kant when i was
01:14:40.480
probably 30 that really opened my eyes and and i didn't understand it at the time i do now i think
01:14:46.240
the society has changed so much i do understand this now but i want to ask you the question i'm not
01:14:50.720
going to ask you for details i just emmanuel kant said there are many things that i believe that i
01:14:56.560
shall never say but i shall never say the things that i do not believe
01:15:02.960
are there things that you are you either believe but you're not ready to say or are there things that
01:15:09.840
you think you're on the cusp of going i think a massive change of my thinking is coming that uh
01:15:19.680
uh you haven't said yet well um there are things that i haven't said yet publicly only because i'm
01:15:36.560
reserving them for when my book comes okay good may i have you on the show then when you
01:15:42.400
and your book comes back out i would love to talk to you then um are there things that maybe you can't
01:15:50.000
put your finger on yet um but you you have a feeling they're they're coming that that will be discovered
01:16:00.800
or what's what's the next big thing that you think you might see in your lifetime coming from all of this
01:16:11.120
oh wow um that's a big question i know um you know it's it's
01:16:22.960
what i'm what i'm doing right now is i dream at night in ways that inform my theory i mean i'm
01:16:33.600
that deeply steeped in trying to understand how it all works
01:16:40.800
and so i'm and i get this information in my dreams that are it's like eureka moments you know and
01:16:50.800
and um so i'm in a constant i've been in kind of a constant state of discovery like that are you are you
01:16:58.400
and so i it's like it's like i'm right i feel like i'm i'm i'm like a fountain in that sense um
01:17:05.680
and um so um i know this stuff is coming i mean i know more stuff will come you know that's part of
01:17:12.240
what keeps life so exciting and but it's it's it's when when we're in dreaming sleep that's when it's that
01:17:19.520
right hemisphere dominant and and and so the kind of processing that it's doing is um it's it's it's
01:17:28.880
very very profound and so when i wake up you know i'll either already have an insight or i'll analyze
01:17:34.400
my dream and go oh my god yeah that's what this means and um and then i'll look things up and i'll
01:17:41.120
find i'll find concordance in the literature you know i'll because i'm a multi-discipline
01:17:45.920
um you know a scientist i you know i'm i'm weaving together all of these different branches
01:17:53.360
of science that i had to study in order to become a medical doctor you know whether you're talking
01:17:57.920
about biology or physiology or anatomy or biochemistry or biophysics or you know i'm bringing together all
01:18:06.400
of those things and i'm also bringing together what i know from being a parapsychologist who studies
01:18:14.320
the fringe stuff that people report that they're you know yeah yeah they've either witnessed or
01:18:19.520
capable of doing and then i'm marrying that also with what do we know about what ancient wisdom
01:18:27.200
traditions and scriptures felt was so important for us to know that they that they put the time and
01:18:36.320
effort that it took back then to encode it you know whether it's engraved on stones or painted with
01:18:43.040
their own blood in a cave or um you know carefully you know recorded as scrolls that were you know
01:18:51.440
placed in you know somewhere where you know they could be safe from the elements it's like so so i'm
01:18:59.360
i'm i'm so i'm i'm integrating all of these different streams and and seeing how they all are sort of
01:19:07.360
informing one another and and it's really really a um i just i feel i feel privileged to be in in in
01:19:16.480
in the position you know to be able to do this you know and and i i think in this way this is one of
01:19:23.600
the most exciting times to be alive because it's so much easier to get information now than when i first
01:19:29.440
started out as a scientist i mean my gosh you know you know it was before computers yeah have you ever
01:19:36.320
read worlds in collision by uh velikovsky scientist from uh einstein's era he was wildly wrong about
01:19:44.240
many things but his theory reminds me of you he said instead of science just rejecting everything
01:19:50.800
why don't we look for the myths and the religious traditions all around the world and see if they're
01:19:58.400
saying the same things at the same time that would then tell us maybe not how they interpreted it but
01:20:07.280
would tell us something that oh this was probably happening in the in the world at this time this
01:20:13.120
was happening in the skies at this time etc etc it's fascinating i just i thought he was very brave for
01:20:28.400
i want to invite you to come back when you're when your book is out i think you're
01:20:33.680
a remarkable person and i i i'm i'd like to know before i let you go we spoke at the beginning that
01:20:46.720
there's times when we invented the airplane three separate continents people didn't know but you pierced
01:20:53.920
into that have you found the people who are maybe going in the same exact direction as you are uh and
01:21:03.760
are having these kinds of insights around the world is there anybody that you know of that has pierced this
01:21:15.280
um what i would say is that there are people who have contact there have been a couple of people
01:21:27.360
who've contacted me or who've attended some of the lectures that i've been giving um and they're they're
01:21:34.560
they're they're literally shaking like this they're so excited because i came to insights that they came to
01:21:45.280
and and and and and and they um you know when you find out that that's that's more confluence you
01:21:54.000
know but when you find out that you're not the only one who's like seeing how these dots all connect
01:21:58.800
together someone else is actually you know it's connecting the same dots but they're not they're not as
01:22:07.520
public of a figure as i am um and they're they're thrilled that that someone is doing this work and
01:22:14.960
so so i yeah that that is happening and so i think that there's something in the you know you know
01:22:20.400
whatever you you know in the ether in the water or whatever whatever whatever there's something
01:22:26.880
happening here that that that there's that it's like there's a pressure for the paradigm to shift
01:22:32.160
and and and it's coming in a space that's being created for that to happen so there's there's both
01:22:38.800
the pressure for it and the space that's allowing it and um so we're we're we're really at a really
01:22:47.200
exciting time um i think i'm i'm a big fan i can't thank you enough for coming on i know this has been
01:22:54.800
