The Telepathy Tapes
Talk Tracks Ep 5: Unbound: When Consciousness Travels Beyond the Body
Sun, 16 Mar 2025
In this riveting episode of The Talk Tracks, we explore two astonishing stories that challenge our understanding of consciousness and the limits of the human mind. First, we meet Elodie, who recounts her near-death experience at 18—a moment that profoundly altered her perception of reality. But what happened next is even more extraordinary. In a moment of deep despair, she received a telepathic message from a young, nonspeaking boy hundreds of miles away. His message not only saved her life but also revealed the profound ways in which consciousness can connect beyond physical barriers. Then, we dive into a shocking case investigated by parapsychologist Lloyd Auerbach, where a woman in hospice care unknowingly projected her consciousness into her childhood home, appearing as a ghost to the new family living there. Her body remained bedridden, yet her mind traveled freely, challenging our assumptions about the nature of life, death, and human perception. Could telepathy and consciousness extend beyond the body—even for those with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or in a coma? This episode pushes the boundaries of what we think we know about reality, connection, and the unseen forces that shape our world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Chapter 1: What stories are explored in this episode about consciousness?
Hi, everyone. I'm Kai Dickens, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the Talk Trax. In this series, we dive deeper into the revelations, challenges, and unexpected truths from the telepathy tapes. The goal is to explore all the threads that weave together our understanding of reality, science, spirituality, and yes, even unexplained things like psi abilities.
If you haven't yet listened to season one of the Telepathy Tapes, I encourage you to start there. It lays the foundation for everything we'll be exploring in this journey. We'll feature conversations with groundbreaking researchers, thinkers, non-speakers, and experiencers who illuminate the extraordinary connections that may defy explanation today, but won't for long.
Over the past year, I've encountered some mind-bending stories. So it's pretty rare now for something to leave me a bit speechless. But today, we have two extraordinary stories that did just that. One tells the story of a young, non-speaking boy who used telepathy to save a life from miles away.
The other reveals how a dying woman's consciousness returned to her family home so powerfully that the new family living there mistook it for a ghost. Both stories challenge the very limits of what we believe about consciousness, suggesting that our awareness isn't confined to our bodies.
and that deep, unseen connections can transcend distance, perception, and even our understanding of reality itself. So first, we welcome Elodie. So Elodie, I'm so excited because we do have emails coming in from listeners, and it's always just really exciting to hear stories.
And there's some that just pop out, and I think, oh my gosh, I want our audience to hear the story because it's so beautiful.

Chapter 2: Who is Elodie and how did her near-death experience change her?
So I guess for starters, why don't you introduce yourself? My name is Elodie Tarantino, and I live in North Georgia mountains. I'm a mother of two boys, beautiful boys. They're 22 and 21 and we own a pizzeria.
Okay. So first you wrote an email that just stunned us. And I'd love for you to share now with listeners who Brandon is and how he saved your life. But I guess first we should probably go back to your terrifying brush with death yourself and how that experience allowed your own consciousness to kind of open up and allow you to tap into more than you could before.
I had a cyst on my ovary that I was unaware of that ruptured. And when it ruptured, it popped a little bitty blood vessel. And I started bleeding out. Within minutes, I was going downhill because I lost so much blood. I lost nine units of blood. And I remember being in a fetal position, jerking, still not aware what was going on. And the nurse was rubbing my head saying, baby, stay with me.
Stay with me, honey. And it was so strange because I still didn't know what was happening. I just kept telling her, I'm so cold. I'm so cold. And then the most amazing thing, I rolled over. I felt like somebody was pouring warm milk on top of my head. And I felt this sensation go through me of love,
comfort warmth it was really amazing and i straightened out and i remember looking at the lady and her saying baby stay with me and i shut my eyes The near death experience happened within a few minutes. There was this golden ball of light to my left, which was all encompassing love. And I was flying towards this sun that was so brilliant orange.
I can't even describe the colors that I saw, but this color was amazingly like a tangerine. And we're going towards and I remember thinking my my skin's not getting hot because I really thought I was flying into the sun. So I'm like, my face is not getting hot.
And then when I arrived inside the sun, it was amazing because there were all these people and over to my left were different groups of people. Down in front of me were all these people in this, there was like this chiffon energy screen that was happening above their heads. And it was my whole life. It was my past, present and future happening all at once. There was no linear time here.
It was very strange. I wasn't overwhelmed by looking at it. Next thing I knew, I woke up a few days later and the awareness was gone. I felt like I had been a little mouse living in a glass cage my whole life being content and then put out in the desert. I started getting flashbacks of me being where I was.
So for you, your near-death experience, it kind of came back to you almost. Once the drugs wore off, then you remembered it came flooding back to you.

Chapter 3: How did a telepathic message from a boy named Brandon save Elodie?
How old were you when you had your near-death experience? I was 18. How long after your NDE did the story with Brandon happen?
It was about a year and a half and it just, my life, I thought it was going to get better when I came back, you know, and it just kind of took a turn and got harder and worse and more difficult. I was doing nails at the time and I had this young lady, her name was Amy, and she was just a sweet girl.
And she came in and she started talking to me one day about how her aunt was a special ed teacher in East Texas and how she was working with these autistic kids and how intelligent these autistic kids were, that they were smarter than some of these doctors and doctors were coming to the school to interview them. And they just couldn't, everybody was wowed.
And I just remember thinking, well, that's, that's, unusual. I've never heard anything like this. This is really cool. And she said, well, I'm going to see my aunt. Would you like to go with me? And I said, well, thank you for inviting me. But in reality, I just was a little too depressed to want to be around anybody or go do anything like that. There was a lot going on in my life.
I can't even pinpoint at that moment what was really happening. I had had a very challenging relationship with my mom and And I just felt abandoned by her. And I felt abandoned by everybody.
Yeah. And then I believe you said in your email that it was that night after you saw your friend Amy, who was a client in the nail salon, that things really hit rock bottom for you. Do you feel comfortable sharing that part of the story?
I mean, this does become a little personal. And I was really upset that night. And I wasn't sure that I wanted to be here anymore. And I was... crying and asking in God, you know, please, I don't want to be here, but I don't want to not be here. I had written a letter and I was the type of person who everybody would have said, I would have never dreamed she would have done this.
It was a very private thing for me to be depressed. I didn't want anybody to know, but I was contemplating that evening on leaving this earth. And I think this is what was the interesting part is in the moment, I think in that moment, because of what had happened to me, I knew what existed on the other side.
And I know you said that because of your near-death experience, it's not like you feared the idea of ending your life and that you didn't want to, of course, but rather that you felt like you couldn't keep living and that you just prayed in desperation that night. Can you tell us about that? that moment or those prayers?

Eating clean, getting your steps in, trying to keep it all together, but something still feels off? The kind of off that sleep or exercise can't fix? Yeah, same. Turns out, sometimes it's not stress. It's actually hormones. And once I started paying attention to that, things started to shift a little. That's where Happy Mammoth comes in.
They offer a free two-minute quiz that can help you uncover the root cause of your hormonal symptoms. It's super easy, you just answer a few questions about what you're going through and where you're at in life. And the best part? After taking the quiz, you'll get a personalized recommendation to help you balance your hormones and start feeling better.
I took the hormone quiz myself because I love a good quiz, and it gave me personalized insights into what might be happening with my hormones and what I can do to feel better. The quiz suggested that my body may be overloaded with the hormone estrogen, which is affecting me in all kinds of ways.
I was given the recommendation to start taking Hormone Harmony, which helps with bloating and chronic fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and more. And after adding it to my routine, I've noticed such a difference. And Hormone Harmony is an herbal formula that fine-tunes the hormonal system. It doesn't just help with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
It also helps with stress hormones such as cortisol. a little troublemaker that can affect us in a myriad of ways. We often think we need big lifestyle changes to feel better, but in reality, small habits like taking hormone harmony every day can have a huge impact on how we feel. Ready to start feeling like yourself again?

Chapter 5: How did Elodie's spiritual abilities change after her near-death experience?
No, no, no. Brandon sealed the deal for me. It came in like almost like an immediate lesson. Don't forget why you're here. And that was it. That was it. It was a boom.
Has Brandon, have you ever talked with him since?
No, I lost track. but I still have a picture with them in the classroom. I did see Amy after that. I asked what was going on and she said something about that they shut the program down because there was something happening somewhere else, somebody saying about abuse. And so that they had shut the program down and they weren't able to work with them like that anymore. And I was devastated.
The first fallout of the facilitated communication scandals And it truly devastated lives, people who are communicating. And it's just so devastating to think of all those people that were made to stop communicating.
I was really sad.
After you had your near-death experience, for you in particular, what quote-unquote spiritual gifts were heightened?
I guess my ability to connect with the other side. that shot through the roof. I know that always kind of happened, but not to the extent that until after my near death. And the first time I had an experience with that, I just remember thinking, Just it being so clear. However, Kai, I just didn't know that this didn't happen to everybody else. So I didn't really make that big a deal about it.
I just would tell my stories of, oh, this happened to me last night and this happened to me. Until one time I had one of my friends look at me and she goes, you know, this is not normal, Elodie, right? I was in shock when she told me that. I said, surely you've had experiences with ghosts or spirits and the other side. And she goes, no, never. And I just remember thinking that was so odd.
So when you're getting the messages from someone on the other side and you're doing your medium work, does it come through like telepathy, like you're hearing their voices? Do you see them in front of you? Is it like you're receiving messages that you just have to decode? Are you seeing images? Like, how does it work for you?
