Expanding Consciousness and Time Bending

Hi everyone, I'm Kai Dickens and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the Talk Tracks. In this series, we'll 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 psybilities. If you haven't yet listened to 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 . Until recently, I genuinely didn't realize how much my pillowcase was affecting my skin and hair. I always just kind of thought like frizz and sleep creases and waking up kind of puffy was just normal, like a liability of going to bed at night. But then I switched to a pillowcase from Blissy, and within a few days I noticed my hair was way smoother when I woke up. I didn't have the same breakage or frizz I was used to, and my skin just looked calmer, you know, less creased and more hydrated. And what I've recently learned is that silk is actually very different from cotton or satin. It's naturally cooling, it doesn't pull on your skin, and it helps your hair retain moisture instead of drying out overnight. Blissey is also super h igh quality. It's 100% mulberry silk and you can feel the difference immediately. It just feels, you know, luxurious, but it's also really practical and fully machine washable. And they have so many colors, it's become one of my go-to gifts because it's something people don't think to buy for themselves but end up loving. Because you're a listener, Blissey is offering 60 nights risk-free plus an additional 30% off when you shop at Blissey.com slash tapes.

It's an extension of who you are. Even small details, like a rug, can completely change how a space feels. And that's why I love ruggable. I recently added one of their Persian rugs in our living room. It's a beautiful kind of worn pastel pink that softens and totally pulls together the space. And there were so many styles to choose from, from Boho and Modern and Vintage. And you can filter by size, by color, by material, by designer. And what I love is that they aren't just beautiful and soft, but they're stain resistant for everyday sty spills and machine washable, making them so easy to clean. And it's especially awesome for our life because we have two young kids, two dogs, and two cats. The built-in nonstick backing makes sure that even when everyone is running around, there's no slipping . They really are design led and performance built. Refresh your home at ruggable dot com.

During the first season of the telepathy tapes, I was shocked when I was told that time does not unfold in a straight line. And instead it's best to think of it as spherical. And even now I still don't totally know what that means. But we'll be exploring this all together. We'll be speaking with neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge and psychotherapist Dr. Mike Sapiro to unpack time and even time travel, what it means if it's possible and if it might be possible to even heal ourselves through it. The first time I collided into something similar to time travel or remote viewing through time was through an incredible story I heard from Maria, a teacher to many non-speakers that you met in season one of the telepathy tapes. I've had a couple of situations come up in the clinic recently that have made me really think about time travel and the potential for remote viewing at different times. She described the moment that Ryan , one of her non-speaking students, received information from a 13th-century monk by remote viewing through time. art and he commented before we started. He said it aphorizes the Catholic Church. So I said I don't really know that word. I don't know if you misspelled or if it's a word I don't know. So I asked his mom who always sits in on the sessions if she minded looking up the word and she did. She commented that the word efferized does mean to have an influence or an impact on something and that it was dropped from the vernacular in the sixteen hundreds, so it's not used anymore. And when I asked the student how he had gotten the information, he responded that he had thought shared with a magistrate from 1345. So that made me curious about can you thought share with both people that are in the physical realm or possibly those also in the spirit world? And I also wondered can you actually go back in time to have c these types of conversations? This story is so remarkable that I asked to hear it from another witness. This time, Ryan's mother, like many parents, she was in the room with Maria and Ryan during their spelling session. Ryan spelled out it effracizes the Catholics. And Maria and I were like, Ephracize. So I googled it . And it is indeed a word, but it says like its last known record ing was in the 1600s or something like that. And Maria says, Well, what does that mean? And Ryan spelled Ephraises tells us how the Benedictine art was so influential. And then what we said to Ryan , where did you hear this word? How did you know this word? And he said, I thought shared with the Catholic magistrate in 1345 . What ? I was just How did he do it, did he say? He thought shared, he said. So he thought shared with a Catholic magistrate. I guess in 1345, so they're maybe they're time traveling too? I don't know. Gosh, it's so weird. Because this is like mediumship where they're thought sharing with someone who's gone, or is it yeah, going back in time? I mean, I'm not even totally familiar with a magistrate is . word I use every day. Teacher Maria was also on the Zoom call. It's like a judge or a lawyer. I kept doing some Googling and I Googled the word to see if anything would come up. I literally had to be so specific and go down a rabbit hole to even find this word. So I 'm pretty confident that he picked it up somewhere, whether it's a communal consciousness or whether he actually traveled back and was able to thought share with this person. And he spelled it two separate times. So it's not like it was a misspell. That was the one thing I'm like, d what did he misspell on? I'm like, is that a word? And he spelled it again. And we're like, What's the word again? What does it mean? Ephra size. E-P-H -O- R I Z E phracise. Ephracized is an esoteric word that means having absolute control over something. So that's what he was saying his benedicting art effercises the Catholics. And it stopped being used in our language in the sixteen hundreds. And then I went back to see if if there were actually magistrates in thirteen forty five. And what I found was there were, but they were in Rome Ryan wasn't the only student in Maria's classroom who spelled some interesting things about remote viewing through time. And in case you're new to this show and feeling a bit lost, remote viewing is when you gain information about a distant or unseen target using only your mind. And in the first talk trucks episode, Maria and her new classroom assistant Dan talked about how a student seemingly remote figured their lunch by going back in time to see what they ate. That day and gone out, and this student was able to let us know where we were, where we went, and he also shared what we both had for lunch. And the question I had for him was, well, how were you able to get that information? And he said he had remote viewed. And then my follow-up question to that was, well, if you remote viewed, how would you know when to remote view, you didn't know where we were or what time we went. To which he responded, I went back in time and it's easy remote viewing when you go back in time. He has shared with me before that he could remote view, so I had asked them if he would prefer to remote view the questions to him rather than me say it, would it be easier for him? To which he responded that remote viewing takes quite a bit of energy So Maria asked her student if he'd prefer to remote view academic questions instead of He wanted to keep it the way we were working with me presenting things out loud. So I'm curious if any scientist can help me understand what's happening and how this actually happened and what's the science behind it? Which brings us to Dr. Julia Mossbridge, a visionary scientist, author, and expert in the science of consciousness and time perception. She's the chief science officer at the Applied Love Labs and a senior distinguished fellow at the Center for AI, Mind and Society at Florida Atlantic University. Julia's groundbreaking work explores the intersection of science, intuition, and human potential, particularly focusing on precognition, knowing that something's gonna happen before it does and the nature of time. I'm Dr. Julia Mossbridge. I am a cognitive neuroscientist. That's what my training was in, also in experimental psychology. And I've really been focusing on exceptional experiences or what we call exceptional hum an performance. So what allows people to perform better than average in all sorts of areas? One of the ways that we started this episode was with this perplexing thing. I think it was one of the first times you I think had engaged with a non-speaker. Yeah. And I've I always get nervous and excited the first time any new person is being let into, you know, like here's the door to meet this family or this parent or this teacher or whatever. And you had an incredible experience which to me was fascinating because it really made me wonder about time travel or and what is this the FROIS thing? Yes. When people get freaked out with these kind of time displacement things or information that comes from somewhere or feels like it comes from somewhere else in time. When I say people get freaked out, I mean like Maria and Ryan's mom. I don't mean Ryan. I think Ryan is doing that all the time. Because I think non-speaking autistic people and non-speakers , maybe generally, because speech is so time-packed of a tool, it's it's like absolutely based in time and helps organize things in time moving forward in a line. When you don't have that as your reliable form of communication , your mind may actually open up to a much looser boundary to be able to explore information across time. That's so fascinating to me. And with that story, I mean, do you think he was just talking to someone like in a medium ship way or do you think that he was slipping through a timeline in some way remote viewing over time? Because uh as some of the nonspeakers in Chicago have said they could do that. Yeah. That second option. Yeah. Some of the non speakers in Chicago talk about remote viewing over time. Remote viewing i itself is usually thought of differently than they're using it. It's kind of this technical capacity that you use a paper and pen for whatever, but it's certainly within the scope of remote viewing to look at information across time in the past, in the future, or across space, somewhere distant from where you are. And so that seems reasonable. We know that I've been working on remote viewing for years. By working on, I mean not only learning how to do it myself and teaching it, but also more importantly, scientifically analyzing uh the results of remote viewing. And it's very clear that when people are feeling more loving, they ha seem to have more access to information over time. And so I did two studies about remote viewing about future events. So you can't get the information until the future happens because the information's not there until the future happens. So we randomly select like a picture to show people. So the people have to describe it before the picture is even selected. And people are statistically significantly better at that, at predicting the future accurately when they're feeling unconditional love. Now these non-speakers generally seem to be in a place not all the time, but often, much more often than neurotypicals, in a place of unconditional love. This is a right hemisphere, sort of self-transcendent kind of experience. And so I'm not surprised that they talk about remote viewing across time. They're very desperate, in fact, to talk about different timelines and to point out to you, Kai. Specifically, they've said, like, tell Kai we remote view in time, or tell Kai that we do time travel, because their point of view is very different than ours when it comes to time. So this is by Naoki Higashida, a Japanese non-speaker, from the book called The Reason I Jump. Because I have autism, I know all about time and I feel it myself. Believe me, this is scary stuff. We're anxious about what kind of condition we'll be in at a future point, and what problems will trigger. People who have effortless control over themselves and their bodies never really experience this fear. For us, one second is infinitely long. Yet twenty four hours can hurtle by in a flash. Time can only be fixed in our memories in the form of visual scenes. For this reason, there's not a lot of difference between one second and twenty-four hours. Exactly what the next moment has in store for us never stops being a big, big worry. He's talking about time and how it feels different to autistic people. And I think he's specific ally uh speaking about right hemispheric autistic people, not speakers. So this makes sense to me because if you really have the level of a praxia that all of these students that I'm learning about have, you would not be able to plan for the future , frankly. And a big part of the brain is planning for the future. The brain is almost there's this book called The Brain is a Time Machine by Dean Wanomono. And it's this idea that the brain is all about predicting the future . And then when you have an error, you weren't able to predict the future, you say, okay, I was wrong. How could I correct that? Well, these students can never, they're always getting errors. They're always unable to predict the future because they can't control their bodies. And so their future is going to feel different no matter what. What does that mean? That means their whole sense of time feels different. Because now their past is going to feel different too, because the future becomes the past. And so what we're seeing is that when your time works that way, you may have access to information that other people really would like to have, but don't have, or could only get through going into trance states or going into remote viewing, but you have access to it all the time. And you may have access to different timelines where other things are happening. And it can be very hard to focus non-speakers on the here and now because what do you mean the here and now? How would I locate that? Yeah. That is fascinating. Okay. So given like so much of the research you've done, what do you think is the most compelling evidence that the mind can gather information from the future? So there's five decades of excellent evidence that the mind can gather information that's accurate about the future. It doesn't mean it's always right, but it does mean that you can show statistically that it's right. There's so much evidence already by nineteen ninety-five that when Congress hired a statistician to look at some of the work the intelligence community, the CIA and the DIA had done on precognition, the statisticians who were supposed to kind of find fault with it couldn't and ended up saying, well, the one thing we know is that precognition is real and it's statistically significant. And the two examples that I think are most replicable of this are something called presentiment, which is physiological detection of what happens in the future. What does that mean? It means your body responding before something happens that's important. So I think about this: the metaphor I use for pre-sentiment is like if you put your finger in the faucet and the water's rushing around your finger and it goes down. Below your finger you'll see there's a big hole, right? There's no water there because your finger's there. But above your finger you'll notice there's a little bubble. And that little bubble is like a little indicator. If time is going down the drain, it's a little indicator there's something coming. There's a there's something in the way. It's just like a little fold in the space-time fabric. And so you're picking up on this little fold with your body. And that's highly statistically significant and I've done a meta-analysis on that that then was replicated. And both of them showed that it's highly statistically significant that our bodies are preparing for future events that normally we would think of as not predictable . Summer always makes me rethink about what I'm reaching for, because I want lighter fabrics, pieces that feel good the moment you put them on that aren't gonna wrinkle like crazy. And that's why I just love quince. They focus on high-quality essentials like breathable linen and soft organic cotton and washable silk, but it doesn't have that luxury markup. It's really that rare balance that I think everyone looks for, where everything feels elevated but still easy and it's all affordable. Quince has beautiful everyday pieces like 100% European linen pants and dresses and tops, and their denim is soft and easy to wear, and their organic cotton sweaters are perfect for layering on cool summer nights, which is a real thing in California. And the styles start at thirty-two dollars. And the big thing to me is that Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen. So you're paying for quality, not brand markup. I love their Italian leather triple compartment weekender bag. It is beautiful and has zippers and it looks so luxurious when just going away for the weekend. It's so good. And lately I've been rocking the 100% European linen pants and the mat ching 100% European linen tank. And it's just an awesome classic summer uniform. You can add a jacket or sweater to. It's light and it's breathable. And I can wear it to work or to dinner. So elevate your summer wardrobe.

The other one that's on almost the extreme of the spectrum, that's something we're usually not conscious of, but is happening anyway, is conscious precognitive remote viewing. So this is where you're consciously sitting down, or maybe you're standing up, but you're consciously saying to yours elf, I'm going to describe a future stimulus, I'm going to describe the answer to a future question, I'm going to find a missing person, whatever it is that you've been tasked with, and no one knows what that information is, including the person who tasked you with it, because otherwise, why would they task you with it? And people are able to actually answer those questions. I have a team that answers those questions all the time for people. So not only is operational, like we can use it to figure out answers to climate change, for instance, with some project I did with some atmospheric scientists, but also we can use it to understand the mind and study it scientifically. So I've done both of those with this precognitive remote viewing. And honestly, it's very similar to what I see these non-speakers doing in several ways, especially the focus on the right hemisphere, but also trying to learn how to tame that intense like fire hose of information that comes in and make it a little bit more linear and understandable with the left hemisphere. And I feel like the communication and regulation partner is the person who's trying to help them do that. And sometimes they try to help the communication and regulation partner do that. But I see that all the time. That's fascinating. Is it true or is there research around people having sciabilities, especially telepathy, clairvoyance, stuff like that, more unlikely And why do you think that is? There's not been very many studies about that question. The intuition that most people have when working with people who have been through trauma, and I've certainly had this intuition myself. It's like an anecdotal sort of report or a feeling that they might be better. You might see more sciabilities among them. Certainly, I believe that one study was done by the Winbridge Research Center about mediumship and people who are mediums, and that they tended to have a greater than usual traumatic history. And then I know that Kirsten Cameron did a study at CIIS, California Institute of Integral Studies, showing that people who are have been traumatized as children are more likely to have at least precognition. Now, that study is very interesting to me in particular because my interest in informational time travel, which is another name for precognition, which is this capacity to get information from places in time that aren't the now and usually the future. And my own experience as a child certainly brought me into trying to study that question. Yeah. And also has helped trying to address the trauma I had as a child and that I see other people having using unconditional love has also brought me into trying to understand that question. So, what is it about trauma that might open people up to different areas of time or getting information that is usually considered anomalous or different. I think it's that it's a coping strategy. It's almost like why is it that non-speakers are telepathic? Well if you can't speak, maybe you have to cope with communication in a different way. Given that human beings have this capacity of telepathy, why would you not use that? Well, similarly, if you come home every day after school to a household that's really disorganized. There may be abuse, there may be neglect, someone's drunk, someone's using drugs. Maybe your spidey sense starts to kick in because it helps save your life. Meaning your consciousness would go somewhere else? That's dissociation, which is one solution. Another solution is you're on your way home on the school bus and you have this feeling, you know, I'm just gonna do my homework outside today. And then when you go in the house your parent has passed out on the couch and you're glad you didn't earlier because they were abusive. And so it's this necessity. I really think the human need for these skills are what brings them out. Having said that, it is very important to treat the trauma and to move forward with compassion when you discover someone who has had trauma who might have these skills. Guess what? If they do that, they don't lose the skill. You don't lose the skill. So in fact, unconditional love is a better, more sustainable way to get to side capacities than trauma. And you referenced your own trauma and your own abilities. Do you feel comfortable saying what happened? Yeah. So when I was a kid, my father had severe obsessive compulsive disorder. And he thought there was something wrong with his mouth. So he would floss his teeth for a long period of time. But he also thought there was something wrong with my mouth and also my sister's mouth. And so at night from the ages of about three till ten, for forty-five minutes to an hour each, he would floss our teeth. And I know that my timing is correct because he actually recorded it on audio tapes and I found one of the audio tapes and it hadn't ended by the end of a 90-minute audio tape. So here's the thing. I had this experience of this woman in her 50s with brown hair, sitting on a rocking chair to the right of the bed. And there was a little rocking chair there, but not the kind of visualized. And she was rocking and she was saying things to me like, you know what? This sucks. It's okay to be angry. Like this is not okay. But I want you to know you're gonna thrive. So you're gonna get through this and you're gonna thrive. And she would say that over and over again, and it was really comforting. When I was in therapy in my forties and started talking about that this had happened . My therapist had me do time travel therapy. Basically go back to the time when my father was flossing my teeth and out of control and say kind things to myself. And that's when I realized that was that person. So when you were doing time travel therapy, maybe you would imagine yourself in the chair saying to the your younger self, Yeah, I this is hard, but you're gonna thrive one day. And then you realized the person in the chair was you in the future doing the therapy. Yes. And I don't know if that was a memory that evolved from the therapy, the memory of myself as a child experiencing that. Or if that was a real memory I had as a child. Because by then I didn't care. It was so effective. It doesn't matter. It felt like a beautiful time loop. And I don't care whether it was real in the sense of did I actually see my future self or whether it was a false memory because the actual experience was so healing. That experience did lead me to start trying to understand informational time travel, mental time travel and physical time travel, all of those things, because you can't have an experience like that without starting to ask those questions. Someone Dr. Mossbridge has been working closely with on exactly how time can be used as a healing tool is psychologist Dr. Mike Sapiro. I'm Dr. Michael Riotion Sapiro. I'm a clinical psychologist , a psychedelic psychotherapist, an ordained Zen Buddhist monk, an author and meditation teacher, and I'm also a fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, where they study, you know a, variety of human capabilities through the lens of science. Dr. Sapiro has recently been profiled by the New York Times for the amazing work he's doing with veterans through ketamine therapy. It's worth checking out as the results from the studies are profound. But today we',re foc onusing his therapy model regarding time. Somewhere about 15 years ago, I started working at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and I was under the mentorship of Cassandra Vieton. And I was learning what consciousness is from the scientific lens, from the lens of neuroscience and then philosophy. And then I met Julia Mossbridge, who was also a fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences studying time travel in her own way. And what I was doing clinically, she was doing scientifically. She was looking at how do we transcend the present moment? How do we grow beyond this moment? The moment also includes the past and the present and the future . She wants to study that through a scientific lens. I want to help people have access to the parts of themselves in the past that need tending and nurturance, compassion, unconditional love, hope, the parts of us that were deeply wounded and left alone and felt isolated. I wanted to bring my clients back in time to bring their present self, which had more wisdom and ability than their old self, their younger self. And so I started developing these protocols in session just kind of spontaneously using meditation experiences and bringing people backward to their most vulnerable places , whether they were in the trauma being tortured in some cases, or in a combat zone, or on a terrible call, if they're first responders, and bringing love, tenderness, compassion , in almost an altered state of consciousness. So we can just simply think about our past, or we can actually in some way dissolve back into it and be there with that person suffering. And I found it had a tremendous effect on their present-day health outcomes, their present-day ability to tolerate distress and discomfort here in the moment. But it also gave them a sense of like, oh, I have been through so much and I'm stronger than I ever thought. And then I started with some colleagues, Cassandra and Julia, working toward the future, also including what would happen if we had relationships with our future self. Many of us feel stuck in our life now because we're moving through the world with old habits and programs and patterns that are dictating our present, which will dictate our future unless some event happens that disturbs our programming. But we can disturb our programming and we can go toward a future that was unimaginable. So I'm helping people untether from what's imaginable and start building the capacity to imagine what was previously not imaginable.
