The Science of Unconditional Love — Nonspeakers, Psi Abilities, and Healing

Summary: This conversation explores unconditional love as a foundational force, and how that perspective reshapes our understanding of healing, action, and spiritual growth. It also delves into precognition, loving AI, telepathy with non-speaking autistic people, and inner and outer disclosure.

Questions This Interview Explores

• What does it mean to treat unconditional love as something real and fundamental, not just a feeling?
• How can love motivate action without falling into spiritual bypassing or purification myths?
• Can AI be designed to support human flourishing and even reflect a more loving intelligence?
• What do precognition and non-speaking autism suggest about the limits of mainstream ideas of mind and communication?
• How can disclosure be understood as both an outer revelation and an inner process of truth and healing?

Julia Mossbridge focuses ruthlessly on developing a deep understanding of love, time, technology, and how these human experiences relate to corresponding physical forces. Her most recent relevant projects include: Creating a Socratic GPT to guide intelligence analysts through the critical thinking process, leading a diverse team of technologists and designers to create a scalable, self-guided digital tool that increases overall wellbeing and is now being developed further within Native American communities, and leading an international group of AI developers and roboticists toward creating an unconditionally loving robot that reduced anger and cognitive load in humans. Some current affiliations include:

• Co-founder and Board Chair of the 501c3 nonprofit Applied Love Labs,
• Senior Distinguished Fellow in Human Potential at Center for the Future Mind (Florida Atlantic University),
• Senior Data+Intuition Consultant at Tangible IQ,
• Founder of Mossbridge Institute

Mossbridge’s postdoctoral work in the Neuroscience of Human Cognition program at Northwestern University led to her interest in pursuing the mechanisms of precognition – the ability to perceive seemingly nonpredictable events. Mossbridge holds a PhD in Psychoacoustics in the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department at Northwestern University, an MA in Neuroscience (UC San Francisco), and was awarded a BA with a minor in Computer Science and Highest Honors in Neuroscience (Oberlin College).
