What if the superhuman abilities governments have studied in secret for decades—telekinesis, remote viewing, sight without eyes—weren't paranormal at all, but simply untapped potential hardwired into human consciousness? Filmmaker and consciousness researcher Caroline Cory has spent 15 years methodically proving that question with laboratory equipment, scientific protocols, and results that keep winning awards in mainstream film festivals.

In a wide-ranging conversation at Portal to Ascension's five-day consciousness summit, Cory pulled back the curtain on her latest documentary Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible, a film that doesn't just talk about the power of mind over matter—it demonstrates it on camera, in real time, under conditions that leave no room for skepticism.

Caroline Cory discusses the scientific validation of superhuman abilities

What drives someone to prove the impossible?

"Since I was five years old, I would have experiences," Cory explained. "I was able to see beings and hear them and telepathically communicate with them. I would look at someone, I would see their subtle energy, what was going on with them, what was going to happen the next day. I could see what was on the other side of the wall. I could hear people's thoughts."

But Cory's gift came with an unusual twist: she assumed everyone could do it. "I didn't want to talk about it, because I thought everybody had them, so I didn't want to be embarrassed," she said. That assumption became her life's work—not just sharing experiences, but reverse-engineering the mechanics so others could replicate them.

For 15 years, she developed methodology for consciousness expansion and energy medicine, then began collaborating with scientists. "We would do experiments, for example, long distance, I would tap into their laboratory equipment, and then I would intend for something to happen, and it would happen, and it would be repeated, of course, this is under scientific conditions," she explained. They worked with water, DNA, telekinesis—measuring, validating, ensuring repeatability.

The work attracted attention from festivals that typically showcase films about Whitney Houston and other mainstream documentary subjects. Her previous film won nine awards; Superhuman has already collected five or six in just three months. "Already to be accepted in a festival is already huge, because they go through thousands of submissions," Cory noted. "Then to have an award, that's another... and so, what I really—" She paused. "It means that even with topics like that, they're still recognizing the value."

How do you prove someone can see with no light reaching their eyes?

One of the most striking revelations in Cory's work involves blindfolded sight—a phenomenon that sounds like stage magic until you understand the controls. "We introduced a device that measures the amount of light that is inside the mask, and there was no light whatsoever," she explained. "If there's no light, you're not supposed to see."

But the validation went deeper. Other researchers measured participants' brainwaves while they read completely blindfolded. "The brainwaves behave as if there's light coming in as if you were reading," Cory said. "That's how we were able to support and to demonstrate that this is not fake, this is real."

She now teaches this ability in online classes—a necessity born of pandemic restrictions that turned out to be surprisingly effective. "The kids we teach online, after the second session, they can read, they can do puzzles," she said. "My adult class, after the third session... people were seeing shadow, they're seeing color." In the morning's class before this interview, children were identifying objects held behind their heads. "They don't think like, wait, I'm not supposed to see behind my... it's incredible."

The difference between teaching children and adults reveals everything about why these abilities seem rare. "You tell them, what color paper do I have in my hand? They'll just tell you," Cory said of children. "But the adults... there's like, well, wait, I'm blindfolded, and how am I supposed to do this? There's too much going on." Teaching adults requires "dealing with the mind chatter, the belief systems, and getting yourself to that place of childlike play."

Why does this matter beyond cool party tricks?

Cory was emphatic that moving objects with your mind isn't about the objects. "It's about if you can do this on a piece of paper, first of all, it validates that your mind is capable of doing that, but then... you're training your mind to concentrate, to focus in such a way, and you can use that tool on other things."

Discussing practical applications of consciousness training

She connected the dots to manifestation, relationships, abundance—any area where scattered attention and subconscious interference sabotage intention. "All of this training, the telekinesis training, the blindfold training, is for you to strengthen the power of your mind, period, so that you can apply it to any area of your life."

The timing feels urgent to her. "We are all confined in our own space... what else do we have other than our own mind to shift?" she asked. "More than ever before, this is the time to focus on this type of work—strengthening your discernment, your concentration, the power of your mind to shift."

For those wanting to explore, Cory offers a pathway: free guided meditations and lectures on her YouTube channel (over 150 of them), then deeper classes at carolinecorey.com for developing clairvoyance, guidance systems, and sensitivity. Advanced work in telekinesis and blindfolded sight is available through her film website, superhumanfilm.com, where Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible is also available for streaming.

"This is our time just to be out there, to do it, to be it," Cory said. "And these are the tools." During the conversation, an audience member typed that their friend had spontaneously levitated while listening. Cory's response was characteristically practical: get it on video and upload it to the community forum where students share their breakthroughs.

The full replay offers Cory's complete framework for understanding consciousness as the ultimate creative tool—backed not by belief, but by measurement, repetition, and the kind of scientific rigor that wins awards at festivals where documentaries compete on craft, not just content.
