Speaker 4 (0:00) Hey everyone, it's Kai. Mark your calendars for October 7th, because Season 3 of the Telepathy Tapes, The Reincarnation Records, is coming. Speaker 4 (0:10) Hi everyone, I'm Kai Dickens, and welcome to The Talk Tracks, brought to you weekly by TTT Media. In this series, we explore the threads that weave together our understanding of reality, science, spirituality, consciousness, and even unexplained phenomena. Because every era has ideas once dismissed as impossible until someone was willing to investigate them seriously. And on this show... We do just that. Speaker 4 (0:35) Today, we're digging into part two of Kalem's story. If you've not listened to part one, which features Kalem and his mom, Anne-Marie, I encourage you Speaker 3 (0:42) to go back and listen to that now. Speaker 4 (0:43) At 17 months, Kalem suffered a non-fatal drowning. And Kalem has not just persevered, but really broken all the odds. Kalem shocked doctors all the more when he learned to communicate via facilitated communication. And when Kalem started typing, and he expressed an awareness of different... dimensions or realms and a spiritual life and an understanding of God that the family still is working to comprehend. Kalem has asked for a break. And so at this point, joining Kalem's mom, Ann Marie, in a second will be Jacob, the big brother. And here he comes. Okay. So, Jacob, why don't you introduce yourself, how old you are, where you are in the birth order compared to Kalem? Speaker 2 (1:28) Yeah. Okay. I'm 26 years old. I am Kalem's youngest older brother, older sibling. I'm second last. Kalem's youngest, I'm second youngest, and then we got the four older siblings. Okay. So you two are closest in age. Yeah, yeah. Probably closest overall, too, I'd say. I've spent more time with Kalem than any of my siblings, really. Not to say we didn't spend a bunch of time together, but, you know, just after the older siblings moved out and everything, all that stuff. I was still at the house. I was young enough to still be there working with him. And I have been since the journey started. And Speaker 4 (2:08) you have learned to type with him as well, correct? Speaker 2 (2:11) Yeah, yeah. Definitely to a more limited degree, but he loves when we do it together, especially when there's something in his speech that I can't understand or there's some more complex thought that he wants to share. Yeah, we'll defer to. He's like, where's my, we'll sit on the couch and we have his board over on a cabinet off to the side and he'll like point. He's like, I want to type, I want to type, you know, we'll just grab it. And even if he wants to share something really simple, like here's what I want to do today, or I want to go to this place. I want to try this thing, you know, small stuff like that. But it's good to flex those muscles with him too. What Speaker 4 (2:48) are some of the things, are there anything very surprising or funny or interesting that he shared that you'd like to? Speaker 2 (2:55) It's kind of coincided with his speech and his behavior as well, but he's definitely a trickster. He likes to mess with people. He likes to push buttons. Because I think that's another one of the ways he really exercised some agency before he could communicate really effectively was to mess with you, test the waters, stuff like that. I think the funniest moments are when he expresses frustration with something because he's really good at not. showing that most of the time. And it's really funny when I type with him and he says something about my behavior that upset him because he'll literally write like, hey, you did this thing earlier and it pissed me off. And he'll type that out with me. I'll be like, oh my God, I had no idea. You know, let's talk about it. And then, you know, we'll use like a combination of his speech and the typing to have a conversation that way. And the big thing is really just encouraging him you know even when he feels shy or unsure um i tell him take take your time you know sometimes thoughts take some time to percolate before you can put them to words so um yeah we take it slow and we talk about fun stuff i mean we we do talk about some of the more I don't know, esoteric things as well. But I'm usually, I was usually the scribe in that capacity for some of those lengthy discussions, you know, which is honestly where Calum kind of preferred me because I don't make as many spelling mistakes as dad. So he likes when I keep everything neat and clean in the journal. Oh, Speaker 4 (4:28) that's funny. So you talked about the program in Philadelphia being really difficult, not for the faint of heart. And I want to talk about how that involved the whole family, too. Like, Jacob, I'm sure you had to sacrifice a little bit of time, either with your parents or even just trying to learn how to manage your life in a way that could, you know, really support Kalem. Speaker 2 (4:50) Yeah. So Speaker 4 (4:51) from both of your points of view, what was that like? Speaker 5 (4:53) Well, so it was very demanding. It was all day, every day. But the way that Kalem responded right at the outset kind of set the tone for the excitement that the rest of us felt about his progress. I mean, we were measuring things in centimeters as far as movement. And then when you see him go a meter, it kind of inspired everyone to really want to continue the program. But, you know, because of the relationship, I mean, Jacob had with Kalem before the accident. I mean, I just was looking at some old photos, for example, and I could see. that Jacob had Caleb on his lap and they were reading books together. So Jacob was all, I mean, he was in love with that baby when he was born. And that love carries through in such a profound way even now. But during those early years when we were really getting involved and invested in that program, there was a high demand. But Jacob, we always asked for the participation and it was never something that was required. But the joy that Jacob... you know, we could see it in him too with the progress that his brother was making really compelled him to want to continue participating. It was just sort of built into our family as a unit as, you know, this is where our new normal kind of looks like and everyone is participating. You know, you never leave that one person behind type of mentality, but the joy factor was really something that the institutes taught us to make everything joyful. I love that though. I Speaker 4 (6:17) love that they talk about joy because Like we talk about that in our family, like be a joyful giver. If you give something to someone, you're angry about it. Speaker 5 (6:25) It Speaker 4 (6:25) ruins it. Speaker 5 (6:25) Like don't, Speaker 4 (6:26) you know, like if you're going to give, let it fill you both up and let it be joyful. And I would imagine if for someone being given such dedication of time and effort, if it was like, I have to do this for you again. That's not a motivating factor. Not at all. Yeah. How about for you, Jacob? Speaker 2 (6:42) Yeah. Like we're saying, joy was a huge part of the journey. I think with Kalem and me. It was just always so accessible, you know, and I definitely do think, you know, like mom's saying, it's not for the faint of the heart, right? And we also had eight of us or seven of us to rally around Kalem. It's a lot easier when the family unit comes together. So I think that was kind of intrinsic to our family even before Kalem's accident. You know, it's a really good reminder of what I have to be thankful for. the experiences that I don't want to take for granted, right? And we've had some wonderful journeys and trips that we've taken that we really wouldn't have if we hadn't been on this journey, if Kalem hadn't shared all of his insights, you know, and his perspectives. So Speaker 4 (7:30) we sent some really wonderful, I mean, we sent some questions to your family from us and from listeners. So there's a hodgepodge. Speaker 4 (7:40) I'm sure you both were a big part of working with him to get these answered and written down. Do you want to go through them and read the questions and his answers? Speaker 2 (7:51) Sure. Yeah. What do you want others to know about who you are? Now, Kalem, I am a very unique person and have extreme abilities that are not very available to most people. I had an accident as a small child, and I was not in this reality for an hour or so at that time. During this gap, I was immediately in the presence of God. His existence fully encompassed me, and I was basically in his consciousness. I was actually love itself and was strikingly aware of all information that ever was, is, and will be. Speaker 4 (8:24) Wow. When he wrote that, did you have any follow-up questions Speaker 5 (8:28) for him? We did, but traveling through all of his communication, he's kind of answered those in the past as well. So we wanted to also be cognizant of not asking him to just, you know, go back and repeat. Speaker 4 (8:43) But, Speaker 5 (8:44) you know, it's indicative of his connection to God. I mean, that his, I remember Jacob was about 12. And Jacob and I were having a conversation. I'll never forget this. Jacob came to me and he says, you know what, Mom? I'm not afraid to die now. And I said, what do you mean? He goes, now that Kalem has told us the things that he's shared, I'm not afraid to die because I know the hope that he's provided by what he has shared to me. So I don't have that fear any longer. Speaker 4 (9:19) And Speaker 5 (9:19) I just remember being so struck by that. But I think, too, the conversations about Kalem's purpose coming back to be the teacher. has really changed the landscape of our entire family. I mean, it's deepened my faith and my husband's faith, too. Oh, Speaker 4 (9:36) I was going to pause you for a second, because I don't know what you're referencing when he said he's coming back to be a teacher. Speaker 5 (9:41) Because so that was something that he told us early on that he did reiterate, which we'll share. But he said that he was given a choice whether to stay in the presence of God for all time or to come back. to this reality, and he chose to come back here because he wanted to be a teacher and that his purpose was to teach humanity. Speaker 4 (10:08) Beautiful. All right, Jacob, do you want to read the next one? Speaker 2 (10:11) Yeah. What do you want others to know about what you know and experience? I'm able to access multidimensional realities, sometimes all at once, and the times it seems to be separate. I also realized that this concept is very unlikely to be understood by most people. It is difficult for me to describe in the way to create the ability of understanding. This is a significant ability that I possess that could be very traumatic for the average individual. My physical limitations do not represent anything about the other aspects of my true self. I am very blessed to have this experience and feel that this provides me the foundation of being complete despite my three-dimensional body. Speaker 4 (10:51) When he talks about a multidimensional experience, has he written about Speaker 5 (10:54) that before? What does he mean by that? My husband is a scientist, and so his questions sometimes are a little bit more interrogatory and interrogatively based. But one time we were having this conversation about Kalem's abilities to be in multidimensions, and Dad said, you know, well, can I do that? And Kalem basically told Dad, if you could see what I can see, you would actually go insane. you would not be able to handle it. It'd be just that overwhelming. Speaker 4 (11:28) Around three o'clock each day, I'm ready for a little treat. And I'm definitely one of those salty and sweet people. And one of my absolute favorite flavors is salted caramel. And salt seems like such a small thing, but it brings the whole flavor
