166. Children Who Read Minds: The Research Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell Risked Her Career to Expose
2w ago01:31:11Tap to summarizeNeuroscientist and Psychiatrist Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, author of "The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena," is a pioneering researcher challenging our fundamental understanding of human consciousness. Her groundbreaking work, documented in "The Telepathy Tapes" series, presents rigorous scientific evidence of telepathic abilities in non-speaking autistic children - abilities that defy modern neuroscience and psychiatry. In this transformative episode, Dr. Powell reveals her controlled studies and the remarkable case of Haley, a non-speaking autistic who demonstrated extraordinary telepathic capabilities. Her research suggests consciousness isn't generated by the brain but channeled through it, challenging everything we know about mental health, human potential, and the nature of consciousness itself. This work points to a radical reimagining of autism not as a disorder, but as an evolved state of consciousness our materialist paradigm fails to comprehend.

3w ago00:43:36Tap to summarizeIn 2008, bankers made reckless bets with your money, burned the economy to the ground, and kept their bonuses while you paid the bill. Economists call it moral hazard: when the person making the decision never suffers the consequences of being wrong, they get careless. They get greedy. And they stop caring whether what they're selling you actually works.We swore never again. We were lied to. Right now, there's an industry embedded in your doctor's office, your child's school, and your own family that runs the exact same scam — except the losses aren't measured in foreclosures. They're measured in your kids. It knows things about its product it will never tell you. It gets paid whether you improve or deteriorate. And when it fails you, that failure doesn't trigger accountability. It generates the next invoice. You've probably already been a customer. You may be one right now.Dr. Roger McFillin builds the case one brick at a time — and by the end, you'll understand why the worst outcomes in American life keep getting rewarded with more money, more power, and more access to your children.Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
Transcribe →238. Is Everything a Psychiatric Disorder Now?
Jul 900:52:03Tap to summarizeWhat did a new client say that nearly knocked Dr. Roger McFillin out of his chair? Why has honesty become the rarest thing in American life? And what if the label you were handed was never true? Be honest. You've watched it happen. Every flaw becomes a condition. Every choice becomes a symptom. Every struggle becomes a disorder. An entire culture has quietly agreed to stop telling the truth about itself.This episode breaks the agreement.

Jul 201:12:35Tap to summarizeAnthony Freda drew one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in advertising history — and illustrated the op-ed pages that helped sell a war. He was paid extraordinarily well to move product, opinion, and entire populations. Then he walked away.In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with the illustrator-turned-whistleblower to trace the hidden machinery of persuasion — from Edward Bernays and the "engineering of consent" to the four simple tools used to manufacture belief, sell wars, and convince a nation that its own sickness was health. But this conversation doesn't stop at media criticism. What begins as an insider's confession becomes something far stranger: a story about fear as a weapon, technology as a delivery system, and a spiritual war most people never realize they're inside.

Jun 2502:32:41Tap to summarizeAt 20, Tracy Thurman was told she'd never work again. Disabled, written off, handed a lifetime sentence by the same system that put her there. The doctors had a word for what happened to her: bad luck. They were wrong. And what finally brought her back was something the government will send armed agents to seize. This isn't a conversation for people who are comfortable. It's for the ones who already feel that something is off — that the sickness around us isn't an accident, and the people selling the cure keep ending up in court.And stay to the end. Because what starts as one woman's story becomes something bigger: the reveal of where this show is going next, and who's coming with it.

Jun 1801:14:58Tap to summarizeJonathan Dickinson sat on the floor of a temple in Gabon, initiated into the Bwiti tradition. He built the only ethical supply line out of that forest when no one else would. He co-authored the safety guidelines the entire field depends on, was part of the landmark Stanford research, and runs one of the world's leading ibogaine clinics through Ambio Life Sciences. This year he poured fifteen years of it into a new book.Psychedelics have moved from the counterculture to the President's desk, and our most elite warfighters are quietly leaving the country to get a treatment America still calls a crime. At the center of it is a root the people of Gabon have called a teacher for thousands of years.Jonathan walks us through what ibogaine appears to do for trauma, addiction, and brain injury, where the science is astonishing, and where the honest answer is still that we don't know. He describes a door this medicine opens in the mind, one he says the modern world has trained us to keep shut.Jonathan Dickinson WebsiteAmbio Life Sciences

Jun 1101:35:44Tap to summarizeWhat if the scariest thoughts in your head mean nothing at all? William Schultz spent ten years trapped inside obsessive compulsive disorder. It got so bad he became afraid of his own shadow, checking it every time he flipped a light switch. Then he made one brave decision that put him in remission within two months. No drugs.

They reveal what actually frees people in an in depth conversation. If you've ever been attacked by a thought you couldn't turn off, this episode is your way out.

Jun 401:20:14Tap to summarizeWhat kind of man gets studied at Yale, Brown, and Harvard, builds a 300 person international research consortium, and still has powerful people working to erase his name? Dr. Daniel Ingram is not a guru. He is a retired level one trauma emergency physician. A published neuroscience researcher. The author of a book that has shaped contemplative practice for tens of thousands of readers. The acting organizer of a global research effort spanning Harvard, Yale, Brown, Cambridge, and Oxford. By every credential medicine respects, he is one of their own.So why did a senior figure allegedly commission an academic article engineered to surface at the top of every search of his name, with one stated goal? That nobody would ever believe him again. Because Dr. Ingram crossed a line his profession does not permit. He claimed that awakening is real. That it is measurable. That it is observable in the brain. We go into what he has seen at the edges of human perception. What he documented in the lab. What he believes medicine is doing to patients every single day by refusing to look.The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium

May 2800:54:05Tap to summarizeThree books. Thirty years. One declassified CIA document.You've been awake for five years. Why does everything keep getting worse?In this episode, Dr. McFillin traces Robert Monroe's consciousness research, the U.S. military's 17-year remote viewing program, and the concept that explains why the "awake" community keeps losing: Loosh—an energetic harvest engineered to run on loneliness, fear, outrage, and resistance itself. The Krebs cycle. The dairy farm. We're not citizens. We're livestock.The way out is not resistance. It's a frequency the harvest cannot consume.Perfect love casts out fear.
