About this episode
This episode explores the potential genetic basis of psychic abilities and intuition, discussing various scientific theories and research.
This episode starts with a birthday month conversation… and somehow ends with chromosome 7, universal consciousness, autism, astral projection, and mushroom chocolate. We’re diving into something that sounds “woo” — but may actually have scientific grounding. In this episode, we explore: • Published research on a potential “psychic gene” • The role of chromosome 7 in intuitive abilities • Whether psychic ability could function like a biological sense • Right brain vs left brain differences in intuition • Autism, hyperconnectivity, and telepathic claims • The theory of universal consciousness (and what physics says about it) • Dreams, premonitions, and altered states Is psychic ability genetic? Are intuitive people neurologically different? Is consciousness produced by the brain — or accessed through it? We’re not telling you what to believe. We’re inviting you to think bigger. Open your mind. Question everything. And maybe don’t eat the chocolate in someone else’s cabinet. 🎙 Welcome back to The Write Brain podcast.
