Telepathy, Savants, and the "Telepathy T...

Yasmeen Turayhi
About this episode

Today, on Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen interviews Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, an internationally recognized expert on autism, savant syndrome, and telepathic phenomena. Dr. Powell’s groundbreaking research explores the extraordinary cognitive abilities of non-speaking autistic individuals, particularly those who appear to demonstrate ESP as a savant skill.

Her work has been featured in the acclaimed podcast The Telepathy Tapes and presented at scientific conferences worldwide. Trained in neuroscience at Ohio State University and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr. Powell has served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and as an invited member of prestigious think tanks, including the La Jolla Group for Understanding the Origin of Humans. She has contributed to five academic books and is the author of The ESP Enigma, which received an award at the LA Festival of Books.

In this conversation, we dive into:

✅ The nature of telepathy—what it is and why it remains one of the most fascinating frontiers of human consciousness.

✅Her experiments with non-speaking autistic individuals and the surprising ways they communicate beyond conventional language.

✅ The scientific rigor behind telepathic research—how studies are designed to eliminate bias and validate findings.

✅ The role of quantum physics and neuroscience in explaining nonlocal phenomena.

✅ The implications of telepathy—what it reveals about the interconnectedness of human minds.
