Monologue rundowns coupled with readings from my book, Cognitive Liberty. This Podcast is my way of sharing my book with the world in an audible format. It’s a deep dive into the arts and sciences of our humanity in attempt to synchronize our evolution with our creative process as individuals and as a collective.
In each episode, I plan to provide brief rundowns and background information based on why I wrote the book and where its relevance lies in the world today. It’s a journey of recognizing how Mankind is at a crossroads.
Our social systems are breaking down because we’ve lost touch with our ecological position in the natural world. We’ve become utterly distracted by the fast-paced demands of daily life to the point where we’ve lost track of who we are. We’ve forgotten how to work as a team and nurture the partnerships that helped us be who we are today.
Our neglected partnerships and abusive attitude toward our homeland reflect a mass symptom of ignorance that begs me to question the sanity of modern culture. Our inability to apply our attention to our intention has placed our species into vulnerable territory. Nature beckons us to wake up and remember who’s in charge.
The research explored throughout this book is based on the personal evolutionary process of creativity: our way of relating to the world. The reason this exploration is so personal is that it deals with the universal qualities of consciousness, as experienced uniquely by each individual on a subjective level.
Thus, the theme of this project is to identify the objective aspect of evolving human consciousness by means of cognitive liberation. This quest is meant to address the peculiar problems of the unconscious and subconscious that shape ordinary experiences. This book considers consciousness as the locus of evolutionary change.
What does it mean to be free from insecurity, to not get caught up in the trap of our minds and carried away from what truly matters in life?
Cognitive Liberty offers our bodies and brains a resolution to our being, and embrace life as a journey on its own terms. It’s a friendly reminder that we’re part of a learning process in constant stages of development and indeterminism. The more we’re able to have fun with the process, the greater the freedom we experience in return.

This episode was recorded shortly after daylight savings time, so I was feeling a bit off due to lack of sleep in trying to adjust to the new morning schedule. I began by introducing a form of augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) known as Facilitated Communication, or FC for short. FC is still a very fringe topic so it’s tricky to talk about it to a broader audience who hasn’t heard of it or to the uninitiated.
One of the reasons FC is a fringe thing is that the speech and language pathology (SLP) community views it as a non-evidence-based practice. However, I would argue that it is, in fact, an evidence-based practice – along with several communication specialists I work with. Best practices of FC include a threefold approach for supporting an individual’s typing: emotional, communicative, and physical.
The emotional component has to do with helping the typer stay connected and regulated to their communication process in being able to cope with some of the challenges and stressors of trying to communicate. The communicative component obviously has to do with helping the individual clarify unclear messages, but not directing where the messages are going or putting words in their mouth, so to speak. And the physical component is where the heart of its controversy lies: it’s a means to provide backward resistance for the typer so they do not strike the keyboard or letters too hard or get caught up in the loop of automatic, echolalic patterns that get in the way of effective or meaningful communication.
Due to the nature of FC as a threefold support strategy for facilitating an individual’s typing rhythm and movement by means of “pointing,” the authenticity of authorship is a questionable anomaly in the eyes of the SLP community. This is primarily because physical support is provided; and to an outside observer, it may seem that the facilitator is influencing or even perhaps controlling what the message being typed out is.
I encourage those who are interested in ASD to explore the world of AAC in depth and to have an open mind. The diversity of our individuality means we need to treat each AAC method on a case-by-case basis where it meets the needs and communication preferences of the individual.
