What Savants Reveal About Consciousness & Human Potential (Diane Hennacy Powell, Telepathy Tapes)
Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell is a neuropsychiatrist, researcher and author of the acclaimed book The ESP Enigma celebrated for her groundbreaking research into consciousness, telepathy, and the extraordinary capabilities of the human mind. You may recognize her from The Telepathy Tapes Podcast, and in this conversation we do deeper into what she has learned about human potential studying savants and the autistic population. I was excited to have her on the show because her rigorous scientific background combined with her openness to exploring phenomena that challenge conventional models mirrors my own journey of reconciling direct spiritual experiences with a rational mindset.
