Once on a family vacation when I was much younger, my sister returned to the hotel room as my parents and I were all reading. I was well into a novel and she asked what page I was on. I looked at the page number and joked, "take a guess - I'm telepathically telling you now", and mockingly closed my eyes and put two fingers on my forehead. And she guessed the exact page I was on. Shocked, I said, "Yes!" as I showed her the page. We tried telepathic tests all the rest of the evening, and no further psychic link presented itself. It was probably just a coincidence, but it was so weird when it happened. I still think of it to this day when anyone talks about ESP.
1. I don't think I said there was a limit of 1500. The reason we know how many were there is that the interviewer asked one of the subjects. He provided a number. (I think it was 1,700 something on the day that he was asked.) The interviewer asked if it was always that high. He said, no, it was a very high number on that day. In terms of counting, I don't know how he knew the number, but I suspect it was something akin to a "knowing." Obviously there would be no way to verify that number, just as you and I cannot verify that the Hill exists at all, except that people from all over the place who, we are meant to understand, have talked about it independently of every other person. There are other possible explanations, of course, such as that they were in cahoots to fool the interviewer. Or that they had all visited message boards or something that discussed "The Hill."
2. I agree with you. The details were something along the lines of a school shooting in the South, but not much more specific than that. I think we can chalk this up to coincidence if she had made no other predictions against which to test. On the whole, I'm somewhat dubious about predictions; but there are plenty of people who have precognitive experiences that they cannot explain. I don't have a strong opinion on the subject one way or the other.
3. The family lives in a part of Arizona where there is no ice. The girl repeatedly warned her father about him slipping and injuring himself on ice, which he disregarded for obvious reasons. Yet, he did slip on ice and injure himself. Again, happy to chalk it up to coincidence.
I do not know how much of what is being reported on this podcast is true. I have a hard time believing NONE of it is true, especially since the podcast Otherworld just published an episode about a similar experience the teacher of a severely autistic child had while working with the girl. Very similar story, including communication with the dead. These podcasts are independent of each other and the people in the podcasts are independent of each other (to my knowledge). So, it seems to me that something is going on with these people. The question, obviously is: what?
No one has ever talked to the dead, although I appreciate that some people might genuinely believe they have.
Got it, about the ice. As with all of it, anecdotes aren't data.
I know people with non verbal adult children, they're not communicating telepathically with anyone, no matter what meds they're on.
No sample size. No control group. No scientific method. And tainted by adult carers.
There's a shared perception that people see a light and/or see relatives when they're dying or have a near death experience. It's likely comforting to many people. That doesn't make it true.
Unfortunately, neurodiversity has not led to a widespread belief, or set off scientific studies, into mystical or amazing compensatory cognitive abilities.
Even in verbal, cognitively unimpaired adults (a MUCH easier group to study), telepathy has never been proven.
And yeah, when I've been out, my dog also knows she's going to get a treat for the unhappiness of having solitude forced upon her, and she knows the treats are in the cupboard. We both have smart dogs. 😁
all i know is right before i opened up my laptop i was thinking about being able to rewind time and watch the 70's. i was wondering if i would have to be my age in the 70's or if i could watch it with my adult consciousness. i was wondering if i could be a child and an adult in prehistory. i was wondering about something i would learn about 5 minutes later - akashic records. we're all just radios.
Speaking as an autistic person - no. This is almost entirely observers "seeing" what they want to see. We're not fricking telepathic. And predictions are only exciting and noticeable when they "hit", and they only hit because of random chance. Everyone ignores the thousands of boring misses in favor of the exciting hits.
As a taoist and believer in Universal Consciousness, you are on the right track Michael. I will be checking out this podcast, sounds right up my alley. Fuck politics, keep writing about consciousness weirdness instead, thats the good stuff.
Started listening on Spotify. This needs to be studied in a academic setting with neurologist skeptics present. What could be gained by faking this only to be disproven later? Who would gain? There are waves around us we can't see or feel. Science has proven they exist. So, there's no reason not believe this possible. Physics. Wow.
Another amazing article 👏 A topic I am so interested in and fascinated by. Near death experiences and end of life experiences share similar questions. I highly suggest looking into "Shared Death Experiences" and any work by Raymond Moody. Absolutely phenomenal research and stories.
Awesome stuff! I share an interest in this topic, too. There's so much evidence over many cultures that consciousness is separate from the corporeal. Speaking of animals, I have been watching a dog that presses buttons lately ("Bunny") and it's fascinating what that dog wants to talk about. If it's real, I am still a bit skeptical. Not teaching my dog to talk, though, I don't want to hear the complaining (out, treat, walk, I hate the other dog). I figured that out already. Anyway, the button-pressing dog asked the owner the other day, "why dog?" Like, why am I a dog. Apparently the dog has lots of existential moments. I went to a workshop many years ago to learn how to talk telepathically to animals, and had absolutely no success at all, but I think my son could do it when he was younger. So I think it's possible, I just can't do it myself. And maybe some animals are better at it than others. As to people, I have personally witnessed many precognition and seemingly telepathic events involving my family, so I am a total believer. Talking to the dead is another matter altogether, I don't know how I feel about that. It's certainly been a belief of many cultures (including our own). It seems there is plenty of evidence now that ghosthunters have recorded something in their "investigations."
I'm on the spectrum (not the 'non-speaking' variety) and I've had prophetic dreams of someone dying 5 times now - and the person ends up dying within a few weeks of the dream. It's always been instances of someone close to someone close to me and I was able to somehow "prepare" them for the deaths that they'd have otherwise been unprepared for.
Extraordinary. Thanks for this, Mike. Yup, I think it's quite probable consciousness is non-local and forms the basis for everything corporeal. Moreover...we all need to go vegetarian.
Great, so now I have to become a vegetarian. Very interesting stuff, I'm in episode one. I look forward to these emails, it's always something good, thank you.
And last thing: I've watched all the HIGNFY episodes, but couldn't get through the one with Burchett -- it was too much right after the election. I'll try again.
Btw were you giving him the finger early on, smiling with your right hand on your chin, with only the middle finger up? Thanks for that.

I’ll have to make sure I’m current on my c19 vaxes
A limited capacity of 1500 gathering is awfully specific. Who's counting? If they're not physically there, why is there a limit?
Predicting a mass shooting is a daily activity in America. Everyone can play.
Slipping on ice is common in places where it snows in winter.

This is fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

Somehow, I knew that someone would post a comment like this
Thanks for the perspective. Have you listened to the podcast?
Thanks for suggesting this podcast. Mind blown.

Infinitely interesting, sir. I believe.
