Part of the Series: Deals The Government Made Without You

“There are things going on that you would not believe.”

The first sentence echoed again later in the trailer of The Institute, a new series just released yesterday, Sunday, July 13th, on MGM+ (Amazon Prime/YouTube) about a strange and bizarre secret institute who’s mission involves targeting and acquiring paranormal or “gifted” children for obscure government purposes. The show revolves around a “smart kid”, Luke, who is destined to be the first one ever to escape and who wants to help save the other children who are trapped inside the facility being used for experiments.

While book fans and Ben Barnes fans have been over-hyped by the series based on the fictional Stephen King novel titled by the same name, it has eerie similarity to real-life experiments carried out by the CIA… And as they say…Truth is stranger than fiction.   

The Institute was published on September 10, 2019, and met with generally positive reviews,” according to Wikipedia.

A simultaneous story-line in The Institute series follows a new cop in town who begins to get hints that something unusual is being covered up and his good-willed, ethical nature lends one to believe he will play a larger role in the story of the kids at some point down the road.

The first two episodes leave a lot of questions to be answered. Why are children waking up in this strange facility only to be vaguely told of their fate to help a greater cause before having their memories wiped? Who is behind the institute? What is their purpose and why are they able to operate beyond the laws of human rights?

“Shout” is played during the show’s intro, emphasizing the lyrics “in violent times, you shouldn’t have to sell your soul,” from the band Tears for Fears. (Fun fact: In the song’s original video a scene of a UFO is shown,)

“Tears for Fears were followers of American psychologist Arthur Janov’s school of Primal Therapy. This song was inspired by his primal therapy treatment, which worked by getting people to confront their fears by shouting and screaming. The name of the group came from Janov’s book Prisoners Of Pain.”12 The hit song was popular internationally around Germany and the UK. Their other famous ’80’s songs included “Everybody wants to rule the world” and “Seeds of Love”. They are still touring today for their latest album Songs for a Nervous Planet

Telepathy and Extra-sensory Experiments by the CIA

Under projects like STARGATE (possibly to be confused with the movie, Star Gate…), telepathy was studied by the CIA and concluded to be a fairly common experience (if you need the government to tell you that). Unfortunately, the research also concluded that without fail, subjects of the research lost their abilities due to the very experimentation they were subjected to.

“Though 58% of all Americans believe they have had telepathic experiences, researchers are just now beginning to corner it. The people they study, talented telepathic receivers, produce results that defy mere luck. by Paul Chance that it’s all swamp grass doesn’t make the work any easier. Disappearing Act. One of the paradoxes of this spooky field is that while re- searchers cannot reliably. demonstrate that extrasensory perception (ESP) exists, they can count on it to go away. Time after time, people who initially show psychic talent lose their skill as the researchers study them, and their success scores drop. The phenomenon is so dependable that parapsychologists call it the decline. effect. Critics point to it as evidence that there was never anything paranormal to begin with; sometimes a person will get lucky, but eventually the laws of chance win out. Parapsychologists aren’t convinced, because the beginning scores are often so high that it is difficult to believe that luck has anything to do with it.” – CIA STARGATE document, Telepathy Could Be Real3

A question for contemplation. Has the unbelieving, scientific world gone too far in probing and microscopically dissecting the spiritual life out of people? How long will science deny the supernatural connection humans have talked about and recorded since the beginning of their existence? The history of evolution is taught dogmatically, completely ignoring the spiritual history of humanity throughout the ages.

What right do scientists have? Is “in the name of science” or “in the name of government research” or “military supremacy” greater than “in the name of human rights/humanity/compassion/decency”?

In the show, the key character Luke openly confronts the doctor and questions the ethical oath he swore to become one when the doctor disregards Luke’s non-consent for testing.

Telepathy and Autism

I had planned to make this a separate article, but since the show came up, I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone.

A link between telepathy and the condition labeled as autism has been made by more friendly means through the work of such doctors as Diane Hennacy Powell, MD4, (who also, I might note, worked with Native Americans) in her published work, “The ESP Enigma”, and following her work, filmmaker Ky Dickens popularized the idea of autism and telepathy through her own testing and documentation of the “Telepathy Tapes”5 podcast.6 Her podcast has been recognized on Joe Rogan and many other outlets.

“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. This groundbreaking series challenges everything we think we know about communication and the human mind, inviting viewers to step into a reality where the impossible is not only possible but happening every day.” – Ky Dickens, The Telepathy Tapes.com7

Others weigh in on what telepathy could mean for everyone…

I think we’re all telepathic. We just don’t know it. Let me come right out and say it: I’ve always wanted superpowers. I’ve wanted to be able to part oceans, bring peace to the world, call down lightning from the sky, and fly. I know I will never do any of those things, but what I do believe is that we all possess innate telepathic and remote sensing abilities. In my own life, I have had experiences of sensing other people’s thoughts, environments and feelings, sometimes at long distance — and being sensed by them sometimes — that simply cannot be explained without talking about extra-sensory perception. – Meduim writer, CY Gopinath 8

I think the message also is about our own potentials, not just the amazing potential of these non-verbal children, their special souls, as it were, but also, that this is who we really are, we are these spiritual beings, right? We really are these spiritual beings – interfacing with these physical bodies and so, it takes these examples where the interface is failing, where the interface isn’t quit working for us to realize, “Oh, yeah, that’s right! That’s what we are too.” – Daniel Lancaster, Messiah Podcast9

Since this is far too much to cover in a single article, if you’d like to see more articles covering this topic, please share in the comments below.

In conclusion, speculation over ESP and autism will never end, nor will all of the other mysteries of the universe and they will remain mysterious and maybe there’s nothing wrong with that, because we all like a good mystery, don’t we?

But what happens when our lust for knowledge and understanding or our fear of what we can’t control exploits the innocent and even kills the very wonders we were amazed by? (I’ll definitely be doing an upcoming article on whether technology is aiding, suppressing or oppressing our world.)

And could it be that sometimes when the truth is too difficult for the public to believe, it’s instead sold as fictional entertainment? But, then… at whose expense? 

Too unbelievable,…?
