This work isn’t about convincing skeptics or debating fixed beliefs. We’re simply documenting direct observations from long-term, experiential work exploring human perception and potential. If your response to unfamiliar ideas is curiosity and openness, this space is for you. If your first instinct is dismissal or abuse, it likely reflects discomfort with questioning existing assumptions. Many people don’t need convincing — they’ve had their own experiences and understand that consciousness and perception may be broader than we’ve been taught.

This is my son Leo riding his balance bike.
His seeing eye is fully sealed with a light and vision-blocking patch.
The eye you see uncovered has no vision.
And yet… he rides confidently. Smooth steering. No hesitation. No collisions.
What we’re observing here isn’t eyesight.
It’s non-ocular perception — what we call Mindsight.
It’s observed through calm nervous system states, play, and natural exploration — especially in children, who haven’t learned to override perception with analysis yet.
No forcing. No coaching. No tricks.
Just awareness doing what awareness does.

Mindsight is really just an invitation to come back into a child-like state — playful, curious, relaxed.
No pressure. No force. Just presence.
When the nervous system feels safe, amazing things become possible.

Esther is blindfolded riding her balance bike using mindsight #seeingwithouteyes #mindsight #realtimemindsight #thetelepathytapes

She’s fully blindfolded.
Tissues over the eyes.
No visual input at all.
This is the first time Esther has ever encountered this pegboard — and she’s doing a fine-motor school task with ease, accuracy, and zero hesitation.
So this isn’t memory.
It isn’t familiarity.
And it isn’t guidance.
This is real-time Mindsight — perception without the use of the eyes.
What matters most isn’t just that she can do this.
It’s how she does it.
Calm.
Present.
Unstrained.
Playful.
For children, this state is natural.
They aren’t accessing a “skill” — they’re operating from an unfiltered perceptual baseline.
This is why children demonstrate Mindsight first.
And why adults aren’t advancing beyond them — they’re relearning what was conditioned out.
Observed. Demonstrated. Documented.
No performance. No pressure. Just direct experience.

Mindsight and PSI abilities are a child’s natural state.
They don’t need to be taught.
They need to be protected.

This 4-year-old sweetheart is demonstrating real-time Mindsight — perceiving and interacting with the environment without using her eyes. Calm, present, playful, and completely natural.
No force. No pressure. No ‘trying’. Just awareness doing what awareness does best.
Children don’t learn this in the way adults imagine — they remember it. What we’re witnessing here isn’t advancement, it’s baseline human perception before it gets filtered, doubted, or trained out of us.
Watch closely. The future of consciousness research is already sitting at the table.

This season isn’t really about presents.
It never was.
Children remember memories.
They remember moments.
They remember experiences.
They don’t remember the cheap toy that broke weeks later.
Decades of developmental and attachment research show that what shapes a child’s brain isn’t objects — it’s relational experience.
Shared attention.
Emotional safety.
A calm, regulated adult nervous system.
These moments wire confidence, emotional regulation, and a sense of self that lasts well beyond childhood.
A room full of toys can’t compete with ten minutes of real presence.
One grounded adult can change the trajectory of a child’s inner world.
Presence, Not Presents.
Sit with them.
Listen.
Be there.
That’s the gift they carry for life.

In research-led practice, demonstrations are contextualised as observations rather than performances.
Outcomes are interpreted in relation to internal state, environmental familiarity, task conditions, and repeatability over time.
This approach avoids spectacle and prioritises clarity, ethics, and accurate interpretation of observed phenomena.

In state-dependent learning and perception, nervous system regulation is a primary variable rather than a background condition.
Parasympathetic activation consistently reduces cognitive interference, supports attentional stability, and improves learning efficiency.
For this reason, our methodology prioritises emotional safety, ease, and engagement before task demand or performance evaluation.
Observed outcomes are interpreted in relation to state, not effort.

In learning and perception, performance is not independent of internal conditions.

Internal state — including nervous system regulation, psychological safety, and attentional stability — significantly influences accuracy, learning efficiency, and perceptual clarity.

For this reason, our work prioritises state regulation before skill acquisition or task demand.

This principle underpins our approach across research, observation, and education.

The Institute of Consciousness conducts research into perception, consciousness, and learning, with particular attention to the role of internal state in shaping performance and accuracy.

Our work focuses on observation, ethical practice, and the documentation of conditions that support perceptual clarity and learning outcomes.

This page will share research notes, observed case material, and educational commentary emerging from ongoing investigation.
