Summary

Podcast Summary: The Telepathy Tapes – Talk Tracks Ep 1: A Volunteer’s Passage to the Hill

Introduction

In the inaugural episode of Talk Tracks, a companion series to The Telepathy Tapes, host Kai Dickens delves deeper into the extraordinary world of non-speakers with autism. This episode, titled "A Volunteer’s Passage to the Hill," spotlights Dan, a volunteer in Maria's classroom in Chicago, whose transformative journey intertwines with the profound telepathic abilities of the students he assists.

Reconnecting with Dan

Kai Dickens (01:00) introduces the episode by welcoming listeners to Talk Tracks, emphasizing the series' mission to explore the intricate threads of reality, science, spirituality, and unexplained phenomena like psi abilities. He encourages new listeners to start with season one of The Telepathy Tapes for foundational knowledge.

Dan's connection with the series begins when he reaches out to Kai after watching the second episode of The Telepathy Tapes. As Dan explains (02:11), his desire to connect deeply with the content leads him to offer his assistance to the production and local initiatives. Kai immediately recognizes Dan's potential and introduces him to Maria, a teacher working with non-speakers in Chicago.

Dan’s Transformative Experience

Over the past four months, Dan has immersed himself in Maria's classroom, witnessing firsthand the challenges and remarkable abilities of the non-speakers. He shares his profound observations:

"It's been the most life-changing month and a half so far of my life. Volunteering with her and seeing firsthand both the immense struggles that the spellers encounter on a daily basis in so many arenas, and also just these unreal gifts." (02:28)

Dan highlights the students' unique perceptions, noting their lack of ego and desire for interconnection:

"There's this lack of ego, this lack of control, this lack of needing to profit off things and instead it's like interconnection, literally sharing thoughts. It's a really beautiful form of human experience as a group." (02:34)

Impact of The Telepathy Tapes

The release of The Telepathy Tapes has significantly shifted the dynamics in Maria's classroom. Maria observes a newfound openness among her students:

"They're happy that people now know what they're able to do because I feel like they've been kind of hiding these parts of them because we weren't able to, one, process it. And two, I think they were worried about what people might think." (03:48)

This acceptance has facilitated genuine telepathic interactions. Dan recounts a poignant moment where a student, previously unable to express his emotions, communicates his sadness through thought sharing:

"One day was almost in tears on the floor... he was really struggling to be in my space that day. And finally I got him to get up in the chair and I said, okay, what's going on? And he said, oh, I'm sharing with another student." (04:50)

Exploring Telepathic Abilities: Remote Viewing and the Hill

A significant portion of the episode delves into Dan's personal experiences with telepathy and his mysterious connection to a place referred to as "the hill." Dan narrates his journey:

"I developed this autoimmune disease, Behetz, that left me hospitalized... And then earlier this year, January 2024, I was diagnosed with cancer. I faced death. I really had to get control of my thoughts because the more control of your thoughts you have, the less stress." (07:38)

Through mindfulness and breath work, Dan experiences lucid dreaming and spiritual encounters that lead him to the hill. He describes his initial attempts to access the hill through meditation and the eventual success through a semi-awake state:

"I started hearing this really faint signal of a voice... It was the voice of a teacher. And I said, what's your name? And it was muffled and I couldn't make out the name... Immediately I felt I was there." (09:10)

During these visits, Dan communicates with students and a collective voice that safeguards the hill:

"We're good. Essentially, like, the space is protected." (18:39)

Community Validation and Protection of the Hill

Concerned about the accessibility of the hill, Kai reaches out to the community of parents and teachers. Lily, a parent, confirms Dan's presence is welcomed:

"Dan is welcome on the hill because he is a true friend and ally." (17:35)

Furthermore, Dan shares a reassuring message about the hill's protection:

"There are strong divine beings protecting the hill. It's not like Halliburton can come in and buy it off. Nothing on earth can overtake it." (17:50)

Lily corroborates this sentiment, emphasizing the divine guardianship:

"They are appointed to protect the hill and hold the space holy for non speakers and their friends." (18:27)

Dan’s Personal Transformation and Health Recovery

Dan reveals a remarkable turn in his health journey, attributing his recovery to mental discipline and control over his thoughts:

"The cancer that was supposed to take his life is gone. It's in remission. And he attributes this to controlling his thoughts." (20:23)

He reflects on his feelings of being "othered" and how his struggles have deepened his empathy and connection with the non-speakers:

"I always felt othered. I always felt different... I think it helped to empathize with an experience of somebody who faces being different every day." (19:33)

Conclusion

The first episode of Talk Tracks offers a compelling narrative of Dan's journey from personal adversity to spiritual awakening through his interaction with non-speakers. It underscores the transformative power of telepathic connections and the profound abilities of those often misunderstood. As Kai Dickens aptly concludes:

"Stay tuned as we work to unravel all the threads, even the veiled ones, that knit together our reality. Please remember to stay kind, stay curious, and that being a true skeptic requires an open mind." (19:44)

Listeners are left intrigued by the possibilities of telepathy and the hidden potentials within the human mind, setting the stage for future explorations in the series.

[Kai Dickens]

Hi everyone, I'm Kai Dickens and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the Talk Tracks. In this series, we dive deeper into the revelations, challenges and unexpected truths from the Telepathy Tapes. The goal is to explore all the threads that weave together our understanding of reality, science, spirituality, and yes, even unexplained things like psi abilities. If you haven't yet listened to season one of the Telepathy Tapes, I encourage you to start there. It lays the foundation for everything we'll be exploring in this journey. We'll feature conversations with groundbreaking researchers, thinkers, non speakers, and experiencers who illuminate the extraordinary connections that may defy explanation today, but won't for long. I'm so glad you're joining us on this journey. As promised, our first bonus episode is about a volunteer named Dan who's been working with non speakers in Chicago for the past four months. You met him briefly in the 10th episode when I visited Maria's classroom in Chicago.

[Maria]

I've got him doing all sorts of things. He's working on my website, organizing notes.

[Kai Dickens]

I met Dan about five years ago. He had produced a series of short films that I had created and then we lost touch. But after the second episode of the Telepathy Tapes was released, he reached out.

[Dan]

I know your email. So I said, hey, I connect with this in a very deep way and I want to learn more. And what do you Recommend I do. I could be of assistance to the production or to somebody locally.

[Kai Dickens]

And I instantly thought the best thing for Dan would be to work with non speakers. So I connected him with Maria.

[Dan]

It's been the most life changing month and a half so far of my life. Volunteering with her and seeing firsthand both the immense struggles that the spellers encounter on a daily basis in so many arenas, and also just these unreal gifts. The wisdom and the beauty and the way that the spellers see the world and perceive the world is so much different. There's this lack of ego, this lack of control, this lack of needing to profit off things and instead it's like interconnection, literally sharing thoughts. It's a really beautiful form of human experience as a group. They're the most beautiful people I've ever been around. They're incredible teachers. I've learned so much being with them for the past three months.

[Kai Dickens]

A lot has unfolded just in the past four months that Dan has been volunteering in Maria's classroom. And part of the reason, of course, is that the telepathy tapes came out and completely changed the conversation and awareness in classrooms like Maria's.

[Maria]

Yes, there's been a lot. They're happy that people now know what they're able to do because I feel like they've been kind of hiding these parts of them because we weren't able to one, process it. And two, I think they were worried about what people might think, but I think they want it out there and I think there's a lot more that's going to come depending on how quickly they think we can handle it.

[Kai Dickens]

Now that telepathy isn't a hidden secret anymore, Maria has allowed time for her students to connect this way. Dan has observed some of these moments.

[Dan]

Yesterday morning we had seven students in a single room all thought sharing with each other for 10 minutes.

[Maria]

It just goes dead silent.

[Kai Dickens]

Thought sharing is a term I'm hearing more often to describe telepathic conversations.

[Dan]

When they're physically in the same space, thought sharing, they seem to really like it.

[Kai Dickens]

From what Maria and Dan explained, it seemed like their awareness and acceptance around thought sharing has opened up ways of new understanding and empathizing with their students.

[Maria]

This person one day was almost in tears on the floor and I'd never seen him like that. Like he was really struggling to be in my space that day. And finally I got him to get up in the chair and I said, okay, what's going on? And he said, oh, I'm sharing with another student. He's just sadder than usual today because of this certain thing that had happened.

[Kai Dickens]

And because telepathy was an open conversation in her classroom, this conversation was able.

[Maria]

To unfold, and I wanted to be there for him. So they're really connected. It's beyond the way I think we as speakers are connected.

[Kai Dickens]

Maria also offered some other insights into things unfolding in her classroom recently.

[Maria]

They all want to learn about timelines right now, like predicting.

[Kai Dickens]

Okay, so wait, what do you mean by timelines and predicting?

[Dan]

We had lunch. Maria and I went to get lunch, and then we had a session with this student. And Maria asked him, do you know what we ordered? And he said, yes, you had a brisket bowl. And then Maria asked, do you know what he had? And he said, a chicken burrito. And I never met him before, and he knew what I had for lunch. And then Maria asked, how did you know this? And he said, I remote viewed your lunch.

[Kai Dickens]

As I watched them recounting this on Zoom, I was just touched and delighted to see Dan and Maria cycling through the types of questions that nobody else understands unless you're immersed in the beautiful world of the non speakers.

[Dan]

She didn't know what I ordered. She and he knew what I got, and she didn't know what I was eating.

[Maria]

We remote viewed when we were there. But how did he know where we were?

[Dan]

He went back in time.

[Maria]

I think in their thoughts, they can actually go ahead and view things. He went back in time, though.

[Kai Dickens]

For those of you new to this term, remote viewing is the practice of using one's mind to gather information about a person, place, or even an object in a distant space without relying on our physical senses. And we will be doing an episode on the CIA's legitimate remote viewing program that lasted for 20 years.

[Maria]

He Remote views a lot. He's also remote listened to the telepathy tapes through my ears.

[Kai Dickens]

Well, he. He did what?

[Maria]

He said, john Paul likes to swim under the moon. And I said, he sure does, doesn't he? I said, so you listened to the telepathy tapes. Your mom must have downloaded it. And he said, no, I listened it when you listened to it. And I said, how? And he said, through your ears. And I said, okay, what time did I listen to it? And he said, 10:15. And I know it was 10:15 because I was driving to the dentist and I was almost late.

[Kai Dickens]

It's remarkable to think that in three short months, Dan has witnessed all of this and more. But in a broader sense, after learning what Dan's been through, it's Remarkable that he's even there at all.

[Dan]

I developed this autoimmune disease, behetz, that left me hospitalized at one point in January of 2023, unable to walk or open my jaw to get mush banana through my front teeth. And then earlier this year, January 2024, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had stage four lymphoma. It was in my bones and my organs and my lymph nodes. I faced death. I really had to get control of my thoughts, honestly, because the more control of your thoughts you are, the less stress. And if you can relieve the stress, like, thoughts come before everything. And so I was really focused on thoughts.

[Kai Dickens]

You weren't necessarily like some like, guru meditator who was doing like, gong baths. You were just sort of an average guy.

[Dan]

I'm an average dude. Listening to chill music and doing breath work is essentially it. I'm not like going to the Tibetan mountains for five years.

[Kai Dickens]

So even though Dan wasn't some expert meditator, his breath work and mindfulness started to impact his life.

[Dan]

Some interesting things started happening, started lucid dreaming. And within those lucid dreams, I had some pretty intense spiritual experiences that kind of left things to be unexplained.

[Kai Dickens]

And I know you have a student coming in, but Dan, can you just quickly share what happened regarding your visit to the hill? It's just such a critical, you know, data point in this unfolding world, and it's been happening in real time.

[Dan]

So I've gone to the hill three times. So I. I was saying before I lucid dream, I do a lot of meditation, clearing the mind, everything like that. So the first time I went, I sent out a test signal and I was trying so hard. Every night I just want to go to the hill. I want to, like, bring my brain to the frequency of the hill. And so I had a lucid dream where I went to a hill and it was completely empty. It was just completely empty. There was nothing there. But it was beautiful. Tried going in meditation, couldn't find it in meditation as hard as I tried. And then I continued to try. And then finally it was one night in this half awake, half asleep state. I started hearing this really faint signal of a voice. And I was like, I don't know if I'm dreaming, I don't know if I'm sleeping. I don't know if this, this is a lucid dream. I don't know if I'm awake, but I'm just going to roll with it. And it was like a quiet radio signal, but it Was clearly a voice. And it was the voice of a teacher. And I said, what's your name? And it was muffled and I couldn't make out the name. And I was like, how do I get to the hill? And the voice said, relax into it, Stop forcing it. Allow it to happen. And I was like, okay. Immediately I felt I was there. And one of the students, I could hear his voice. And it sounds weird because as they're non speakers, like how do you know it's this person's voice? And it just sounded like what their voice would sound like. And I just knew their energy. And I told him, you did really well today, spelling. That was the first time I met him. And he told us in session, he goes to the hill in the middle of the night. And so that was kind of a helpful little. A little tip. So we had some dialogue back and forth. And then other student came up and said, hello. And I knew immediately who that student was based on his voice, based on the energy that he was talking with. And I said, okay, I want you to remember this, all right? My mom's name is Amy. And then I told him my dad's name and then I told him my sister's name. And I said, you got it? And he said, yeah. And I said, okay, cool. So the following week we had session with the student who I talked to on the hill. So it's like, okay, we can verify this. Either I said it and you received it, or maybe I thought I was speaking to you and I wasn't. So Maria said, daniel thinks he talked to you on the hill. Is that true? And he said, yes. And then Maria said, okay, what did he say? And the student typed, his mom's name is Amy. And I just. I lost it. I lost it.

[Kai Dickens]

Was your mind clear? Is there any way that he was mining that information out of your mind?

[Dan]

Possibly could happen, right? I was doing my best to clear my mind and not give him anything. Sometimes we just say, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin in our heads to notch thought, share. And also there's this thing that they aim to speak the truth and not deceive. So if he responds, yes, we spoke on the hill, and then he says what?

[Kai Dickens]

We said, yeah, that's amazing.

[Dan]

So I went back a second time and then a third time. It's a peaceful place. I did a lot of work before because once they said, you need to go in with loving energy, of doing body scan meditations, of clearing out ego, of clearing out anger, pain, the low vibrational things, and filling up with love. Because the second time it's really hard to describe the specifics of the sounds, but there's an audio thing associated with it. But yeah, the second time I spoke to 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 students here. And then a student who I have never met, who lives in a different state, and she introduced herself and I'm like, is this my imagination or is this real? I don't know. There's no way for me to verify it. There's also a teacher, not sure if that's a person. They're certainly helpful because the teacher is the first person I talked to and it allowed me to talk to these other students. And then I've also spoken to a spokesperson type as well.

[Kai Dickens]

What do they do or what do they say?

[Dan]

First I said to the group, after I had this back and forth with four of the students here, I said, I'm friends with Kai and my name is Daniel. You are, by the way, an awesome calling card because people like you. So there was this collective voice, and I said, thank you for letting me into your space. And this collective voice said, hey, you found us. And I said, do I have permission to share this? And the collective voice said, absolutely.

[Kai Dickens]

Then, Dan, could you see the hill or could. Could you just hear on it?

[Dan]

It is. For me, it was just a frequency. It was just an audio frequency that was coming in. It was extremely peaceful. Everybody I talked to. One thing I really liked from the collective voice was we have disagreements, but we're all friends here.

[Kai Dickens]

And did it feel like chatter or how do you find someone to isolate them?

[Dan]

You know, people came to me.

[Kai Dickens]

So how much time are you able to spend there? You know, can you stay for a while or is it like. It's like a minute or two and.

[Dan]

Then you're out holding yourself in a state of self hypnosis is difficult. It's extremely challenging. The longest I've done It was the second time, which I'd say was about 40 minutes. What has been a lot easier for me is thought sharing with a divine being that collects the thoughts on the hill and then stores them. So this is a divine voice that I don't have to put myself in self hypnosis for. I can do it if my mind is quiet and I can ask a question. And it comes back very methodical and very slow. And I have talked to this being on the hill probably a dozen times. It kind of can speak on behalf of the. Of the spellers. I've been able to ask a speller if this is something. If this is a Shared experience for them. And it sounds like, yes, but I would love to get further clarity if, like, this is something that this is a being that they're aware of and they talk to, or if this is something that. Because with all of this, like, you're always wondering, like, hey, is this communication I had? Is this a figment of my imagination? Is this my creativity? Or is this real? But when I get an unexpected answer, I could say, that sounds like it's real.

[Kai Dickens]

Have you asked the voice, are you. Are you like a collective conscious? Are you a guide? Are you an angel? Are you some other non human intelligence? Are you God? Like, have you just asked them to introduce themselves?

[Dan]

Yeah, they're a divine being that collects the thoughts and puts them in safekeeping.

[Kai Dickens]

After Dan told me the story, I had worries about voice users going to this private place, no matter how pure their intentions are. And Dan knows as well as me that any groups who are marginalized need a safe place to call their own. So with Dan's permission, I reached out on our large group text with parents and teachers to see if any of their students or kids had encountered a voice user on the hill, and if so, was it okay that he was there? Scott, Lily's father, wrote me this. I asked Lily if a voice user came to the hill and she spelled yes. Here's her exact words.

[Lily]

Yes, Dan came to the hill. Dan is welcome on the hill because he is a true friend and ally.

[Kai Dickens]

Scott asked if people with bad intentions ever come to the hill and Lily spelled, yeah, yeah, we send them away.

[Lily]

Our energy overpowers them.

[Kai Dickens]

I talked with Dan a bit more about my worries and Dan wrote me a beautiful text. I asked him if I could read it to you and he said yes. Here's the text. Kai, from my understanding of the hill, and Lily can correct me if I'm wrong. There are strong divine beings protecting the hill. It's not like Halliburton can come in and buy it off. Nothing on earth can overtake it. These divine beings that I've encountered so far, and if I'm listening correctly, teach, communicate, hold thoughts and protect the integrity of it. It's a beautiful and holy place. End quote. I asked Lily about this next and.

[Lily]

She said Dan is correct. They are appointed to protect the hill and hold the space holy for non speakers and their friends. They mainly stay in the background. Really want to meet Dan in person.

[Dan]

The spellers and the hill are divinely protected. One of. One of the things I was most concerned about when I first got there was like If I could get there, that means, like, the weapons industrial complex can get there. And I was like, oh, my gosh, I am concerned. And the response from the spokesperson was, essentially, this space is divinely protected. We're more concerned about you and your health and disrupting your sleep to have these communications than you should be about us. Like, we're good. Essentially, like, the space is protected.

[Kai Dickens]

So it seems as though some of us mere voice users with the right intentions, hearts and minds can access the Hill. Dan and I have talked about this a bit. Mostly just me marveling that he accessed this place. How is there something just uniquely special about Dan? So I asked him.

[Dan]

That is a loaded question. Like, I grew up othered. I was a queer Jewish boy in Iowa. There was one of two out of 430 kids in my graduating class who were Jewish. So I always felt othered. I always felt different. And then in my 20s and 30s, 30s, I developed this autoimmune disease, behetz. And then earlier this year, January 2024, I was diagnosed with cancer. I faced death. I've suffered mightily through disease. I felt othered. And while I don't think that is all that brought me to the Hill, I think it helped to empathize with an experience of somebody who faces being different every day.

[Kai Dickens]

To end Dan's story, he just sent me a current X ray of his body. The cancer that was supposed to take his life is gone. It's in remission. And he attributes this to controlling his thoughts. He deeply believes thoughts control our physical and spiritual reality. And as he explained this in his text thread, I smiled with all of my being because his deep personal understanding about the importance of thoughts also may have helped him punch his ticket to the Hill. That's it for this episode of the Talk Tracks, but new episodes will now be released every other Sunday. So stay tuned as we work to unravel all the threads, even the veiled ones, that knit together our reality. Please remember to stay kind, stay curious, and that being a true skeptic requires an open mind.
