That mind-body disconnect taught me a lot because, for instance, Akil, who we feature in episode two, he didn't know where his body was. And for a lot of people who need to be touched when they first learn spelling, it's because they don't know where their body is. Akil didn't know he had fingers. He had to be massaged over and over.
I remember Houston, when he first was spelling, he said he needed heavy boots so he knew where the ground was. And so you can imagine, if you don't feel connected to your body to the point where you don't even think you have one, You're living in the mental world. That consciousness is fundamental.
I think it's less about non-speaking. People, I don't think it has much to do with autism at all. I think it has to do with apraxia and not being connected to your body.
Right. Absolutely. And I think that when we understand that, apraxia and the mind-body disconnect, and that can help inform a lot of the confusion around spelling. Because certainly, if you don't know where your body is, when you're learning, it helps to touch.
And that's why when people throw facilitated communication out because you're being touched, it's like, no, if that's working for someone and they need pressure the whole time to know where their hand is, put pressure on their hand so they can smell. Yeah. Awesome. Cool.
Like let's assist people to get to their best selves and their whole, you know, but yeah, the mind body disconnect, the not knowing where your body is because non-speakers say that over and over and over and over again, that they're not living in their body. They don't feel their body. They don't have control over their body. And so, so then what is the reality? It's not the body reality.
It's a different reality. And this is what we're all tuning into this different reality that they're able to talk about as messengers because of a plight. Honestly, I think most of them feel very frustrated about the inability to control their body, but the gifts that come along with it.
And John Paul, when he said, I think Libby once asked him like, you know, what about, what do you love most about yourself? And he was like, everything, you know? So I do think like that experience of not being tethered to your body can be beautiful. It's just different from what we're seeing.
We're seeing a body that's having a very difficult time managing in the world, but their experience is not bodily.
I mean, no, I think it's fascinating. I mean, I think we can attach so much of our personal needs onto anything. You know what I mean? And AI is just—all of this is converging at the same time. And that's what's most interesting. It's like AI and what that's making us question about consciousness.
I think even psychedelics and people's embrace of how that can help with mental health and explorations of consciousness and the— Trials are doing where people feel like they are certain there's more, you know, and that's happening with this exposure of what the non-speakers are hoping to, I think, teach us alongside sudden interest and validation on UAP.
Like, it seems like it's all converging at once. Yes. And we're just like in the water of it right now. Like, I don't even think we realize how significant this moment is for humans and consciousness. Yeah. It's a cool time to be alive.
Yeah, that it's been, it's backed down and just... Yeah, because it's seen as scary.
I think social media has changed everything because I think the scaffolding of control was always very powerful before because it's like someone had the ability to silence you and no one would know that happened. Like you could be just quieted and not be able to get your truth out and they'd steal your camera and it was done, you know? But I feel like...
Or there'd just be a mass discrediting of someone. What's happening now with social media is you can get out a truth very quickly and find other people who agree and concur and thumb up it. And it's much more difficult to make someone seem bonkers, especially when there's a lot of people validating a truth.
Yeah. I mean, I get very nervous about that. And I feel like scientists and researchers, it's like, you have your questions, but like, just let's pause for a second, you know?
And one of the things that we've been talking about and trying to start a foundation for and put like profits that come in from the film or anything or donations to this foundation that maybe could try to open up centers in different states or cities where non-speakers can go and
learn to spell for free in an affordable way and have physical therapy and parents can have respite care where they can bring their child here and they know they'll be well taken care of and the non-speakers can have their physical and mental and spiritual needs met. And then, then, only then, it's like if there's... an interest that one individual is like, I do want to study whales.
Then maybe through these centers, a marine biologist could apply, and they have to learn how to spell. And they have to really get vetted and be on the level of the non-speakers. And then there could be a way where they pay the non-speaker to work with them. And so that way, it's equitable.
And it's all centered on the non-speaker and really working to fit into their world instead of asking them to be a square peg fitting into the round hole of our world. And so I think we just have to approach it differently. The thing that makes me sick is the idea of someone being like, I want to test non-speakers and do this and do that. Like, that is gross.
