Tuesday Brunch: The Epstein Telepathy Tapes - Why Epstein cared about fringe New Age research and what drew elites to psychedelics, telepathy, and occult ideas

Epstein Telepathy Tapes frames Jeffrey Epstein's interest in fringe New Age and transpersonal research as a question about what draws ultra-high-net-worth networks to psychedelics, telepathy, the occult, and the human potential movement. The post links that theme to current psychedelic industry and policy news, including STAT News reporting that the White House vetoed FDA plans to fast-track review of a psychedelic treatment for severe depression via the National Priority Voucher program. It also mentions Compass Pathways, ketamine-related approvals, and controversy about political interference in psychedelic drug approvals. It then pivots to a “transpersonal sleaze” thread, describing a 2019 Scientific and Medical Network conference in London and claiming that Jeffrey Epstein sought to fund transpersonal initiatives through a 2017 email, including a request for money to support Jeffrey Martin as a spiritual advisor and allegations tied to that outreach.
