Certain pockets of the internet have been buzzing over Ky Dickens’ The Telepathy Tapes Podcast, which focuses on non-verbal autistics and their special abilities. When these individuals were finally able to communicate through spelling or by using a device such as an iPad, they either reveal to their family—or their family comes to realize on their own—that the non-verbal autistic individual can seemingly read minds to but scratch the surface.
The podcasts official website reads:”In a world that often dismisses the extraordinary as mere fantasy, The Telepathy Tapes dares to explore the profound abilities of non-speakers with autism—individuals who have long been misunderstood and underestimated. These silent communicators possess gifts that defy conventional understanding, from telepathy to otherworldly perceptions, challenging the limits of what we believe to be real. For years, their parents and teachers have quietly witnessed these remarkable abilities, knowing that the time to share their truth would eventually come. But now, as the evidence mounts, the time has come to reveal what has been hidden in plain sight.”
Ky Dickens interviews and profiles families, documents and provides recordings of the experiments they conducted, and explores this fascinating subject which is reinforced by testimony across the world. Its second season has just begun, so it will be interesting to witness as more attention is placed on these events and happenings described in the series and any consequent debunking attempts made as it begins to pick up momentum and is discussed in larger circles.
Well, without the remarkable ability depicted in the series, I had come across an app called RV Tournament, and thought it’d be worth doing some daily practice at “remote viewing”, and I wanted to share some of my early experiences in adopting this daily practice.
The way RV Tournament works is that each evening (after 4:30 PM) an image is provided with co-ordinates (consisting of eight numbers). The goal is to set your intention on “seeing” the image, having qualities of the image come to mind for the next day. Essentially, you are given the co-ordinates and a blank screen to capture any optional notes before being shown two possibilities for the target image, on which you slide a confidence meter to your level of confidence from 10%-100%. Then the next evening it is revealed if you were correct or not.
There are also three daily practice rounds which you can participate in (and for some reason I have had much greater success here, in these practice rounds you can immediately see the result).
At present, my practice statistics are:
These numbers seem promising (much more impressive than the reality of my experiments), but I wished to highlight some of my results and provide some details that I found curious.
To start, with this one, my sense was “tangled”, the cross pattern on the right I interpreted as the metal in the center of the ear bud, and the lollipop shape to be the earbud itself, so when it revealed the headphones as a possible choice, I felt confident enough to bring the slider to 50% assurance in my selection. This selection was correct.
While that wasn’t too good of a demonstration, I was rather impressed with this one:
Despite drawing the cake on a platter, I only had the confidence meter at 20% as I was a bit hesitant to engage with the confidence slider and for the most part was sticking to a default 10 or 20% confidence at max as to not tank my score if I were to get it wrong.
The following one was interesting – I initially had the impression “red” come to mind which I captured, and then had the grid shape, which I believe I interpreted to be a fence so drew a bird on top spreading its wing. When I was presented with the two options, the red telephone booth windows immediately made my intuition saying “that’s the one”! The money coming out the top of the piggy bank looks like a bird’s tail – so I found this one rather curious despite not being as exact as before with the cake.
When I am doing this process, I clear my mind, take a few breaths, and then start capturing what comes after repeating the co-ordinates code a few times in my mind. If a visualization happens or a motion, I try to capture it in the notes, or if it’s a word that comes to mind I will capture that too in the event that it was something that would trigger an “aha, that’s the image!” on the reveal. For instance, below I had only two impressions: brown building, blue door.
Obviously I was incorrect with the impression of the blue door on the building, but the fact that there was a building in the image, along with the rows of blue seats gave me the confidence to say with 50% certainty that it was the target image.
In the instances where I was wrong, I often betrayed my intuition from what was the correct image, where I would then kick myself for going back on it.
I’ll end this post with one that I found rather interesting. My first impression was a wheel with spokes spinning, but when I began to draw it, for some reason I turned it into a book. I also had a sense of “red” once again.
On reveal of the two images, one was a bird sitting with an open book, the other the guts of a car. Despite this, I felt with utmost confidence that the correct image was the engine(?).
It has been a rather fun exercise with some surprising results in my experimentation that has kept me motivated to continue and have fun in so doing. While I may not ever reach the innate ability demonstrated by the non-verbal autistics in the Telepathy Tapes, perhaps I will have a few pieces of evidence to show me that there’s something to remote viewing… though I am just beginning on this journey and don’t have any conclusions or ideas about what is actually happening in this practice, or how to do it sufficiently, accurately, and repeatably.
Though I would encourage anyone to begin and see what coincidences may unfold for them!
