You Know More Than You Think: Elly Flippen on Perception Before Thought 1/2

About this episode

Elly Flippen discusses her book series on perceptual literacy and the nuances of perception before thought.

In this two-part conversation, we talk with author Elly Flippen about You Know More Than You Think , her five-book experiential series exploring perceptual literacy — how awareness forms, stabilizes, differentiates, navigates, and eventually encounters the larger forces shaping reality. Elly brings a unique personal perspective to this work. She grew up in close proximity to her uncle, artist and remote viewing pioneer Ingo Swann, where she was immersed in his creative work, perceptual research, and the wider community around it. That early exposure gave her a first-hand view of how perception operates at the edges of what is usually noticed. As an example, the first book in the series, What’s Already There , which focuses on perception before thought: the body’s ability to register tone, atmosphere, connection, and pattern before conscious reasoning steps in. This is not a conversation about mystical powers. It is a grounded look at the subtle ways we sense, respond, and know more than we may have been taught to trust.
