Alec is joined by Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and autism researcher, to explore the link between telepathy, consciousness, and the minds of non-speaking autistic children. They discuss Diane’s journey from clinical psychiatry into ESP research, the concept of a shared consciousness called “The Hill,” and why consciousness may function more like a field than a brain-based phenomenon. The conversation also touches on gender communication, psychic experiences, and what “junk DNA” might actually reveal about human potential.
