Telepathy, Autism, and the Science of Consciousness: A Deep Dive into Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell’s Research

The Deeper Thinking Podcast

For anyone intrigued by the boundaries of mind, language, and the nature of reality.

What if consciousness doesn’t originate in the brain? What if certain individuals, particularly nonverbal autistic children, are experiencing and expressing intelligence in ways our current scientific paradigms can't measure—let alone explain? This episode explores the work of Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, who has spent years investigating astonishing cases that suggest telepathy may not be fantasy but an unacknowledged form of cognition.

Powell’s research challenges the dominant materialist view of the mind, documenting children who seemingly acquire information without sensory input and show savant-like capabilities. We explore the philosophical, methodological, and cultural reasons why mainstream science resists such evidence—and what it means for our understanding of intelligence, consciousness, and reality itself if she’s right.

Reflections

  • Can science account for consciousness without reducing it to the brain?
  • Is telepathy dismissed because it's impossible—or because it doesn’t fit current models?
  • What if autism is not a cognitive deficit, but a different cognitive architecture?
  • How does institutional skepticism protect science—and also limit it?
  • Can a paradigm shift happen when most evidence is discarded by design?
  • Why Listen?

    • Learn about breakthrough research that questions the boundaries of mind and matter
    • Explore autism from a radically different, empowering perspective
    • Understand why psi research is so contested—and so important
    • Engage with Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, Thomas Kuhn, Karl Popper, and William James on scientific openness, paradigm shifts, and consciousness itself

          • Diane Hennacy Powell: Presents compelling data that challenges the limits of neuroscience and psychiatry.
          • William James: Offers historical grounding in non-ordinary states of consciousness.
          • Thomas Kuhn: Helps us understand why radical ideas are often dismissed by scientific orthodoxy.
          • Karl Popper: Encourages philosophical scrutiny of what counts as falsifiable—and what we leave out because it isn't.
          • If even one mind works outside the rules we know, we must rewrite the rules.
