166. Children Who Read Minds: The Research Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell Risked Her Career to Expose
Neuroscientist and Psychiatrist Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, author of "The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena," is a pioneering researcher challenging our fundamental understanding of human consciousness. Her groundbreaking work, documented in "The Telepathy Tapes" series, presents rigorous scientific evidence of telepathic abilities in non-speaking autistic children - abilities that defy modern neuroscience and psychiatry. In this transformative episode, Dr. Powell reveals her controlled studies and the remarkable case of Haley, a non-speaking autistic who demonstrated extraordinary telepathic capabilities. Her research suggests consciousness isn't generated by the brain but channeled through it, challenging everything we know about mental health, human potential, and the nature of consciousness itself. This work points to a radical reimagining of autism not as a disorder, but as an evolved state of consciousness our materialist paradigm fails to comprehend.

Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell
Diane Hennacy Powell, M.D. is an author, researcher, public speaker and practicing psychiatrist who started as a neuroscientist before obtaining her medical degree and training in medicine, neurology, and psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University. She became a member of Harvard Medical School’s faculty and later an original member of the La Jolla Group for Understanding the Origin of Humans, a think tank at the Salk Institute with several world-renowned neuroscientists and Nobel laureates. She has spoken at international conferences such as Towards a Science of Consciousness and the IONS annual conference. Her research findings and hypotheses about the brain and psi are published in her book,The ESP Enigma: A Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena. Her current research focuses on autistic savants. Their abilities are so similar to psychic phenomena that they defy the current paradigm about the brain and consciousness, but unlike psychic abilities, theirs are accepted because they are reproducible. Her current project investigates savants who also report psi. She is also collborating with her brother, theoretical physicist and artificial intelligent expert Ken Hennacy, PhD., on creating a model for understanding consciousness and the quantum world.
