So there seems to be this telepathic link there. And one of my favorite stories that we share in the telepathy tapes has to do with elephants. And there was a conservationist who was trying to get some rowdy elephants into an animal preserve. And after a good amount of time, this man's name was Lawrence Anthony. He really worked to get the elephants' trust. He made their safe space.

It was a huge amount of land. And he hadn't been, I think, in touch or seen these elephants much in the last few years of his life. And then one day he died. Well, the elephants all kind of gathered and walked to his house from where they were. And they all kind of show up right around the same time. And they stayed for a few days, mourning.

And it was remarkable for his widow because the question is, how did these elephants know to go and do their mourning ritual? Wow. How? And the story doesn't end there. Every year on the anniversary of his death, and this went on for a few years, the elephants would leave what they were doing and go to his house and pay their respects afterwards.

On that day. It took them a while to get there. They had to walk a few days to get there. But yes, they knew exactly when he died the first time. And then they would pay their respects thereafter for a few years on the day of his death. And so to me, it's like if you have a hard time grasping telepathy in humans, look at the animals.

because we're pretty closely related, you know, and there's just some beautiful treasures of stories of this telepathic link expressing itself in nature.

There is a history here for sure. And I think the first thing that's kind of made the stigma around spelling really take hold was with facilitated communication, where facilitated communication was the first, oh my gosh, the individuals are spelling that people thought were locked inside and could never spell. And that required like touch communication.

And that required like touch communication.
And the use of touch became problematic, I think, especially with some people who weren't trained because some awful court cases erupted from consent that wasn't given. Right. Horrible things that that happened through through this form of spelling. So then spelling evolved into rapid prompting method and spelling to communicate. And now the spellers method where no touch at all.

I mean, you cannot touch. It's like a tenant of that. And when you sit in the room with a speller, it's really remarkable to watch, you know, because they're not being touched. They're spelling. It's clear. They're pointing directly to where they want to go. It's not like a struggle. The parent is certainly not going like this. You know, often it's completely like rooted.

So it's really difficult that that stigma exists because these individuals are having to prove constantly. I'm in here. My words are mine. I authored them. And that's really hard. But I will say that this is not a new thing. Sign language took over 100 years to become accepted, even in the 60s, 70s.

I mean, I think people were saying it wasn't a real language. There's no grammatical structure. The rallying cry was that anyone who is deaf should learn to read lips and try to speak. Basically fit into our world. We are not going to allow this language to take place. Same thing happened with Braille.
