Rupert Sheldrake's Research on Animal Telepathy Suggests Abilities Beyond Humans
In the field of animal research, Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist from Cambridge, has studied pets, particularly dogs and cats, to understand their telepathic abilities. Through investigations that involved cameras around the house, pets were observed waiting by the door when their owners were on their way home, even when unexpected delays occurred. Furthermore, an anecdote about elephants that walked to a conservationist's house on the day of his death, and annually on the death anniversary, suggests telepathic communication among animals and between animals and humans, opening up unprecedented possibilities in the realm of natural psychic phenomena.
Through declassified papers from the CIA, details emerged about projects like Grill Flame and Stargate, where remote viewing was actively utilized in the '70s and '80s. These programs involved tests, including underwater experiments with submarines, to see if the skill transcended traditional signal limitations. Remarkably, remote viewers were able to accurately locate targets beneath the ocean's surface. These findings were substantial enough to alarm officials, as evidenced when a police chief could precisely pinpoint submarine locations on a map, owing to his self-professed ability to "just see them." ...

The Unique Abilities and Challenges of Non-speaking Individuals
Through the narratives shared by Ky Dickens and others, we explore the extraordinary abilities of non-speaking individuals, particularly those with apraxia, as well as the skepticism and challenges they encounter when learning to communicate through alternative means such as spelling.
Non-speaking Individuals With Apraxia Show Extraordinary Psychic Abilities
Within the community of non-speaking individuals, there are reports of extraordinary psychic abilities that push the boundaries of conventional cognition understanding.
Abilities to Share Consciousness, Transmit Information, and Perceive Reality Challenge Conventional Cognition Understanding
Some parents have observed their non-speaking children knowing intimate details about their day or their thoughts even when they are apart. Dickens recalls stories where non-speakers have internalized entire narratives, such as "Harry Potter," by reading them through a family member's mind. Non-speakers have reportedly said they can see through another person's eyes or hear through their ears. These capabilities, such as sharing consciousness and transmitting information in unconventional ways, challenge mainstream scientific understanding and suggest an expanded cognitive landscape.
Non-speaking individuals with apraxia, upon learning to communicate, have claimed abilities like telepathy and an understanding of subjects, such as geology, that they presumably never learned in conventional ways. Teachers have reported two-way telepathic communication with students, holding educational sessions non-verbally. John Paul's telepathic relationship with his girlfriend Lily also reflects this extraordinary capability of sharing consciousness.
Ky Dickens emphasizes the humanity of non-speakers and advocates for recognizing their psychic gifts as a natural part of their existence, not as a definition of who they are. Non-speakers, she argues, may view phenomena like telepathy as a survival tool, no more extraordinary than the experience of love, something not measured scientifically despite its powerful influence on human behavior.
Non-speakers are reported to have profound perceptions, including seeing auras and displaying synesthesia, they can receive messages about events or situations outside their immediate knowledge, such as warning against buying land because of a bad well.
Non-speakers Learning to Communicate Through Spelling Faces Skepticism and Resistance
Non-speaking individuals, when they acquire communication skills such as spelling, often face skepticism regarding their abilities and experiences.
Perseverance and Insights Call For Open-Minded, Empathetic, Collaborative Research Approach

Actionables
- You can foster a more inclusive environment by learning basic nonverbal communication techniques, such as hand signals or picture boards, to interact with non-speaking individuals in your community. This approach can help bridge the communication gap and show support for alternative communication methods. For example, you might use a picture board to communicate with a non-speaking individual at a local event or in a community center, which can be a step toward recognizing and respecting their unique experiences.
- Start a book club or discussion group focused on literature by or about non-speaking individuals to gain insight into their perspectives. By engaging with these materials, you can develop a deeper understanding of the challenges non-speaking individuals face and the richness of their experiences. For instance, reading books like "Ido in Autismland" by Ido Kedar, who is non-speaking, can provide a firsthand account of navigating life with nonverbal autism.

Broader Spiritual and Philosophical Implications of This Work
Ky Dickens and Jay Shetty explore the significant spiritual and philosophical implications of extraordinary abilities that suggest consciousness is more than just a function of the brain.
Families' Accounts Suggest Consciousness Is Fundamental, Not Brain-Emergent
The experiences shared by families of non-speakers with apraxia hint at consciousness being fundamental to human existence rather than solely emerging from physical brain activity. Ky Dickens likens our bodies to television sets that tap into a consciousness signal from somewhere else, likening the potential for telepathy and psi abilities to suggest consciousness as non-physical and fundamental. Through discussions with non-speakers, Dickens sees a suggestion that consciousness could operate beyond physical life, posing profound implications for our understanding of consciousness as foundational rather than just brain-emergent.
Challenges Materialism, Suggests Accessing Non-physical Realm Through Consciousness Expansion
By suggesting that consciousness precedes the physical world, Dickens implies that phenomena like telepathy could make sense if viewed as non-physical and fundamental. Such accounts challenge the materialistic viewpoint where consciousness is seen merely as a byproduct of the brain. These experiences indicate the possibility of accessing a non-physical realm and expanding consciousness, potentially surviving even after death.
Transformative Insights Into Mind, Divinity, and Reality
Embracing Wonder, Curiosity, and Compassion to Unlock New Knowledge Frontiers For Humanity's Benefit
The insights gained from the experiences of non-speaking individuals—who live in a mental world due to their disconnect from their physical bodies—and their telepathic abilities imply the existence of a non-physical realm accessible through consciousness expansion. Jay Shetty shares powerful meditation experiences, and Dickens recalls reading about animal consciousness, plant communication, and Stevenson's work on reincarnation which support the notion of consciousness beyond physical boundaries.
The discussions around telepathy and consciousness among non-speakers point to ...
