Episode notes
Mindsight Is Innate And Trainable
- Mindsight (blindfold vision) appears innate and trainable in children and adults, not a stage trick.
- Direct experience and demonstration are essential to move skeptics toward acceptance.
Protect Beginners From Performance Pressure
- When beginners open a new ability, avoid demanding proof because pressure can shut progress down.
- Encourage steady practice and gradual milestones before asking for demonstrations.

- That firsthand moment shifted his belief from skeptical to convinced about the phenomenon.
