I'm Dr. Powell and I first became interested in autism back in 1986. Because I was aware of autism, I was also aware of savant syndrome, and it was exceedingly rare. I went to India to evaluate these savants. When I met them, their parents said to me that they were all telepathic. And so I switched from studying savant syndrome per se and started studying telepathy.

Well, let me just let me just say this, that actually how I've met the parents is that the parents have reached out to me. It's not that I've presented to the parents this information. It's that all over the world. They have been witnessing something in their home that they didn't understand, and then they go on the Internet and they find my name.

That's how, I mean, I met Manisha, and that's how I met Katie. And now we're getting deluged with people who are saying, yes, I have a child who's just like this, and I've been afraid to say anything. And so I don't see that we're having to present anything to them. It's more that they're presenting to us.

I'm coordinating with scientists who are at universities and they are skeptical in the true sense of skepticism. I mean there are people out there who call themselves skeptics and they really are die-hard materialists who would never even consider this as possible. And so those aren't the scientists I'm talking about.

I'm talking about scientists who are open-minded enough that they feel that these things are possible and think that it's an important research. But at the same time, they're going to want to see as much separation as possible between the telepathic pair, ideally in separate rooms, If that's not possible, then we have to have as much in the way of barriers to any kind of visual or auditory cueing.

But I'm optimistic that we should be able to get some experiments done with those kind of conditions. It's just that it takes time. You can't just come in and just say, okay, this is how we're doing the experiment today. It really requires a certain sensitivity. to the fact that that could be very intrusive. And the last thing that I want to do is anything that's intrusive.

The last thing I want to do is anything that makes people feel like they're being challenged in a way that is not honoring the children And so I really believe that we can walk that walk where we honor the children, we believe in the children, but at the same time we realize that the world at large is not going to believe it unless we do the controlled trials properly.

Yeah, I definitely have concerns about that. I'm very protective of the children and very protective of the mission, you know, that... that we all have here to really uplift humanity. And one of my concerns is that people who are supported by the CIA or even members of the CIA don't walk around wearing badges saying they're a member of the CIA.

And so the parapsychological community at large has a lot of people who fall into that category who've gotten their funding from those sources. And as I said, it's not something that they're going to share.

Yet at the same time, the world is demanding that we involve other scientists to come into our space and to actually see what these children can do, because otherwise they're going to say, well, what are you hiding and why won't you let us observe some of these experiments, etc. So
