0:00.0	Every single person, I think, who works with the non-speakers with autism will say telepathy
0:05.5	is the tip of the iceberg. That is the thing you hear over and over and over again. So many of the
0:10.6	families who have a non-speaker are already fighting a war on so many fronts. Doctors tell the families
0:15.6	when they're little, they'll never speak. There's often the sense that this individual is locked
0:19.6	inside. Well, what's happened is that some families take a chance. The telepathy, the sense of something that's going on, the mind reading has been there all along, but spelling gives you a way to validate it. It feels so out there. The only reason I can say it out loud is because it's happened so often. All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, is finally opposed. Third, it's accepted as self-evident.
0:39.3	Where are we at on that spectrum here?
0:41.3	At the simplest form, truly being present and loving someone and sitting with them and believing in them, that you are competent, you are in there.
0:49.3	I don't care what the doctors are telling me that you're not. I don't believe them. That changes lives.
0:54.8	It changes what you're capable of.

1:04.7	Hey, everyone.
1:05.8	Welcome back to Know Thyself.
1:07.6	Our guest today is an award-winning documentarian who is known for tackling complex
1:12.2	social issues. And last year in 2024, she created something called the telepathy tapes, which
1:18.1	if you haven't heard, has been a sort of a cultural zeitgeist and is very exciting. It's exploring
1:24.5	the complex inner dimension of nonverbal autistic children and goes fast beyond into
1:31.4	challenging our paradigm and notion of consciousness and what this life and reality really fundamentally
1:37.2	is. Kai Dickens, thank you for being here.
1:39.4	Absolutely. It's a pleasure in your beautiful studio that I'm jealous of.
1:44.1	Yeah, we got to help you for season two, season three maybe. We're going to level. it's a pleasure in your beautiful studio that I'm jealous of.
1:47.5	Yeah, we got to help you for season two, season three maybe.
1:51.0	We're going to level up here and do visuals coming in the next year or so.
