You Won’t Believe What These Kids Can Do With Their Minds
In a captivating conversation with Jay Shetty, filmmaker Ky Dickens unveils astonishing discoveries from her work on The Telepathy Tapes. This unique series reveals how nonspeaking individuals, many on the autism spectrum, demonstrate remarkable telepathic abilities—reading minds with nearly 95% accuracy, seeing auras around living beings, and even connecting in a mysterious telepathic “chat room” known as “the hill.” Ky’s immersive research challenges conventional views of consciousness and invites us to reconsider the spiritual gifts that may lie within us all.
From Social Justice Filmmaker to Spiritual Seeker
Ky Dickens began her career as a social justice documentary filmmaker, focusing on pressing societal issues like healthcare access and paid family leave. Despite her scientific mindset, she always carried a spiritual curiosity, though she was cautious about organized religion due to its complexities and pain she had witnessed.
Her journey into telepathy began after personal loss—losing two close friends unexpectedly. A spiritual friend’s encouragement to explore the abundant research on consciousness and afterlife sparked Ky’s commitment to shift her focus from social justice to profound human questions: Why are we here? What is consciousness? Where do our loved ones go?
What Is Telepathy? More Than Just Mind Reading
Traditionally, telepathy is understood as the ability to read someone else’s thoughts directly. However, Ky learned that with nonspeaking individuals, telepathy transcends simple mind reading. Parents and teachers describe experiences where children seem to share a consciousness, access languages they’ve never learned, and even predict future events accurately.
For example, one nonspeaking child revealed knowledge of Harry Potter books by reading through a sibling’s mind during reading sessions. Others reported seeing through teachers’ eyes or hearing through their ears as if using their neurology to compensate for their own physical limitations.
Validating Telepathy: Meeting Dr. Diane Hennessy Powell
Ky connected with neuroscientist Dr. Diane Hennessy Powell, who had independently studied telepathy claims in nonspeaking individuals with autism. Despite skepticism from the scientific community, Dr. Powell’s research revealed compelling evidence supporting these abilities, often described as extrasensory perception (ESP).
Ky recalls the moment of witnessing a young girl named Mia reading her mother’s mind repeatedly during tests—an experience she describes as “remarkable” and “life-altering.” These encounters convinced Ky and many parents that telepathy in these children is self-evident. The pressing question shifted from if it was happening to why it was happening.
Apraxia: The Mind-Body Disconnect
One critical insight from Ky’s work is the distinction between autism and apraxia in these cases. Apraxia refers to a disconnect between the mind and body, where individuals struggle to control their physical movements despite having cognitive awareness.
Many nonspeaking children featured in The Telepathy Tapes have apraxia, which may explain why traditional communication methods fail but telepathic and other non-verbal means flourish. Spelling to communicate—a method where children point to letters to form words—has become a lifeline for many. This gross motor skill often provides a way for these individuals to express themselves when speech is impossible.
The Power of Love and Presuming Competence
Ky emphasizes that the foundation of these telepathic connections is love. Many parents, initially told their children would never communicate, find hope through spelling and telepathy. The journey requires immense patience, sacrifice, and faith.
She urges everyone to presume competence when encountering nonspeaking individuals—believing they are present and capable inside. This mindset not only empowers the individuals but also fosters authentic connections and breakthroughs.
Science, Skepticism, and the Need for Immersive Research
While telepathy and psychic phenomena have been studied for decades, especially in psi research and remote viewing, Ky points out that the scientific establishment often dismisses or marginalizes these abilities due to materialistic frameworks that prioritize only measurable physical phenomena.
Ky advocates for a new approach—immersive, respectful observation similar to Jane Goodall’s studies of chimpanzees—where researchers learn to communicate through letter boards and build trust with nonspeaking individuals rather than isolating them in sterile labs or Faraday cages.
Remote Viewing and Government Programs
One fascinating historical example Ky shares is the CIA’s declassified projects like Grill Flame and Stargate, where remote viewers could accurately describe locations they had never physically visited, even underwater where signals cannot penetrate. Some remote viewers, including a Burbank police chief, marked submarine locations on maps with impressive accuracy.
These programs illustrate that psychic abilities like remote viewing are not mere fantasy but have been acknowledged and utilized by intelligence agencies.
Telepathic Communication Beyond Humans
Ky also explores telepathy in the animal kingdom. Studies by biologists like Rupert Sheldrake reveal “mental fields” connecting animals, explaining phenomena like pets sensing their owners’ return regardless of time or route. A poignant story involves elephants paying respects to their deceased caretaker annually, traveling great distances to do so.
These examples affirm a broader, interconnected consciousness that transcends species.
Communication as a Human Right
The journey to acceptance of spelling to communicate has been fraught with skepticism, partly due to the controversial history of facilitated communication, which involved touch and led to ethical concerns. Modern methods like Rapid Prompting Method and Spellers Method emphasize no touch, allowing nonspeaking individuals to independently express their thoughts.
Ky compares the struggle for recognition of these communication forms to the long fight for acceptance of sign language and Braille, reminding us that denying these tools denies a fundamental human right: the right to communicate.
Daily Magic and Telepathic Connections
Ky shares heartwarming anecdotes of everyday telepathic moments—children knowing when parents are about to come home, or even predicting when she would step out for lunch. These moments feel like small miracles, demonstrating that telepathy is not just extraordinary but woven into daily life for many families.
She recalls a nonspeaking individual who said that telepathic communication conveys entire experiences and emotions, far beyond the simple words spoken aloud.
The Intersection of Science, Spirituality, and Consciousness
Ky reflects on how her beliefs have transformed over three and a half years. She now firmly believes consciousness is fundamental, non-local, and not created by the body. Telepathy, precognition, mediumship, and other psi abilities all make sense within this expanded view of reality.
She highlights parallels with ancient Eastern traditions, where consciousness is described as sat (full of knowledge), chit (eternal), and ananda (blissful love), matching the qualities described by nonspeaking individuals she has met.
Challenges and Hope for the Future
Resistance to telepathy and other spiritual advancements often stems from fear, skepticism, and the vulnerability involved in exposing one’s inner thoughts. Ky acknowledges the importance of ethical research and warns against exploitation of nonspeaking individuals.
She envisions centers where nonspeakers can learn to spell and communicate freely, supported by compassionate scientists and educators who respect their autonomy and contributions.
Can We All Develop Telepathic Abilities?
Ky believes telepathy is not exclusive to nonspeaking individuals. Many teachers report hearing thoughts from their students, and some parents experience two-way telepathic communication with their children. Like any skill, the degree varies by individual, but the potential exists for all of us.
She encourages an open mind and heart, reminding us that love is the greatest superpower and the foundation for all these abilities.
Embracing a New Paradigm of Connection
Ky’s work invites us to reconsider how we view ourselves and each other—not just as isolated bodies but as interconnected consciousnesses capable of profound communication beyond spoken language.
She shares a beautiful insight from one nonspeaking individual: the word “Thanksgiving” telepathically sent is not just the word but an entire vivid experience, filled with sights, smells, and emotions.
Imagine a world where telepathic communication is common—how differently would we speak, listen, and care for one another?
How You Can Support and Get Involved
Ky’s biggest ask is simple: presume competence when you encounter nonspeaking individuals. Believe they are present and capable, and support their communication efforts.
