First of all if you did not know, Telepathy is the ability to psychically send and receive thoughts. In other words, mind reading.
Have you ever tried Telepathy, and if so, can you do it?
Have you always been able to do it? How good are you? What did you do for practice? What process, if any, do you go through in your mind when you use Telepathy?
Are you better at sending, receiving, or both? Have you ever tried long distance Telepathy, and did it work?
There are a lot of questions to be answered here, and I want to hear (well, read) what you have to say in response to them. This topic has possibly been done before, but there's a lot more to it than what is usually discussed.
I want to know because it's something that I have always done and practiced for as long as I can remember. My mum and I used to try reading eachother's minds when I was just small. The more you practice, the more increasingly easy it is to do. I believe that every person can do it, some are just better than others. When I do it, I see it as reaching out with my mind; like a tentacle or something extending to another person's mind. Sometimes I'm more likely to see pictures, other times I'll hear words. So please, I'd like some GOOD DECENT answers to the questions above. No one liner's like "that sounds cool" or "yeah I've tried it", proper answers please!
I don't know Telepathy, and I think I'd rather not know it. It seems something that would land one in a nutty house. The thought itself is pretty disturbing actually (especially considering the things I think x__x)
At any rate, yes I have tried it, no I'm not any good at it, and I don't want to be good at it.
I would think this depends greatly on what type of telepathy you are going for? Since empathy is a form of telepathy, I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter on which side you are looking for as an explanation.
Sorry sent before I finished typing.....
I can send energy and heat, where the other person can actually feel their body heating up. I don't always need to know the person, but that helps alot.
My mother, sister and my daughters seem to share a limited form of it. We can call each other at literally the same times and also know when we are needed. I think this would be considered a limited form of it. Strange no, that it is only the females of family?
Telepathy, I have noticed, have mostly been depicted in woman actually. I can also sense when my loved ones are in danger, but I don't consider that Telepathy whatsoever. I can also shoot a pretty close guess at what a person's thinking by their body language, but that's not Telepathy either.
The brain is an amazing thing... but it's not Telepathic.
Have never tried and I don't think I really want to. I think that I would be disturbed to know what some people think about. Seems some have such stupid thoughts it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
Ive thought about it before but it must be a hard thing to control. Having peoples thoughts flooding your head.......sounds a little painful.
iv tried and never succeded. but thats probobly a good thing. i wouldnt want to really know what people thought of me in there minds. and thoughts are a very persional thing, and should be kept to there selves
Above a thought but below a whisper...telepathy I have witnessed a near tele pathic exchange at a Rainbow Gathering (on shrooms)with others on the same shrooms.i have witnessed it sober as well.wheither it is thought I would think not but it is not audable to others out of synce and it is easily interupted.
I really would be too afraid to know what most people think and depending on the type. My friend and I are connected we finish sentences, pass headaches to one another, we literally share everything. I don't believe it is telepathy though.
Telepahy is a subject that can't be qoute explained. In it's most exaggerated form as depicted by movies, it's shown as instances of quick brief images or a sudden mind numbing flash of thought's. In either case the best any man or women can come close by my experiance and other's around me is by Gregory's saying. Body language can say a lot. But if you want a true instance of "Real life" telepathy without words can happen usually under most conditions of the person being under stress and or fear. So heres a moment of brief understanding or "telepathy".
A friend of mine was about to get married because there families set them up without there permission. Well 3 weeks before the scheduled date there was a party in celebration. During one of the family member's congratulating the soon to be bride she looked over to where i was and we met eye contact for barely a second. During that second thought's flooded my mind and in the second i knew she ws going to cancel the wedding. It goes with that mix of words of "I know that you know that I know what your going to do." Oh and she canceled it a week later.
That is true. It is hard to explain, but I really don't think that I could deal with the thoughts that someone else has, could be nasty or gross.
I have worked with telepathy before, and have been able to pick up on some simple messages. For example, my family used to make a game of it. We would think of a shape in our head (star, square, triangle, or circle) and another would have to try to read their mind and come up with the correct shape. I used to be quite good at it, but I haven't been in practice lately, so I'm not sure how sharp my telepathy skills are now!
Parlor games where turned into telepathy based tricks.
sometimes I can actually do it with my boyfriend but I think its more predictibility than telepathy.
Hmm... I don't know if I'd put empathy into the same basket, I think that's more of an understanding thing... but who knows, maybe it is an unconcious form of the skill.
Not one of you will ever convince me that telepathy isn't a real thing, because it's happened to me so many times that it cannot be called coincidence. It's not just 'brief flashes', it's every day, mostly by choosing to do it.
We all know that the human mind is an amazing thing that we have not yet reached full potential with, not even anywhere near full, infact.
It's not a scary thing and definately not dsturbing, in my opinion anyway. It's a fun skill to practice, and as I said, I believe that everyone can do it.
Anyway, I like what RavenEyes said about the wee game, that is a really good way to practice :)
The roots of telepathy is in micro idioms as well as report (how well you know the "sender")A near trance state that is a sync vacuum for unspoken communication,there are parlor tricks that demenstrate the use of morse code,and signal skills.When used as an ice breaker they encourage subtle exchanges of information between two people with common intrerests.There are other things just as likely as telepathy that are researched and documented,I cannot prove the existance or nonexistance of telepathy,but I can read archives of case studies to other things that have been thought to be telepathy.
I think we all have it to a certain degree.. However, we sometimes fail to recognize it for what it is.. I receive thoughts but I'm not sure if it not just not part of my intuitive nature.. I have always been able to feel others pain, passing into death or exciting events from afar.. But when someone is siting in front of me I can never be certain that I'm not picking up on other clues such as body lauguage.. or if I am really reading their mind.
I think we all have our own form of telepathy..... maybe not in the psychic sense but I think after reading a book by the title of "the gift of fear" we learn or just know.... how to decode body language which believe it or not decieves even the most controlled individual. Our expressions... our slight movements... if one was intune with ones intuition i think that one could read anothers thoughts.... but as far as hearing and voicing mental tought from one to another.... i have no idea
OK I know what you are saying (several of you) but my discussion includes instances where you definitely are not picking up information through body language, for example, long distance telepathy. The person could be across town.
Mind reading is not always sitting down and facing each other trying to share thoughts. You might not even be looking at them, or just sitting near them, and you can still reach their mind with your own.
So, as it were, some more good answers please.
In 9th grade our social science teacher did this litle excercise... One person went into the hallway and he wrote a number on the board, 1-10. Everyone in the class would think about nothing other than that nmber, saying it in their heads or visualizing the number. He'd then erase it and invite the student in from the hallway and they took their time guessing what number the class was thinking about. 75% accuracy in my class. The school stopped him from doing Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board the year before I got here---bastards! =)
well i'd rather not believe in telepathy because i like to believe that inside my head is at least one place of perfect privacy - but on the other hand i have had the occasional "brain leakage" where peoplke have been able to pick up on my thoughts, and i've picked up on the thoughts of others.
yes, it might be handy if you are ever stuck in a well, or lose the power of speech, but is the cost worth it? if we open our minds to telepathy, how do we know for sure that our thoughts are our own? someone could easily plant subliminal ideas into our heads, and before we know it we are voting some complete asshole into power because we "feel" we can trust him. oops - too late.
I've always wanted the power of telepathy, to know what others are thinking, to be able to tell wether someone is telling the truth. Then I think that maybe others thoughts aren't mine to know, I would probably be hurt and angry to know what others are thinking.
To limit a forum on telepathy to what can only be defined as telepathy?The reading of thoughts?Well then all those skillful slight of hand artist would make a fortune in that world.
I can show you telepathy.But then you would think me telepathic and that would be deception.Exploiting your faith in something that is a radical notion,by using other then telepathic means.
When in fact even when invited to test claims of telepathy no telepathic people come forth to test.
Thoughts are safe and testimony is not research to proof.If it is testimony is what you seek then I have never witnessed non conversational telepathy(meaning something that was not projected by a friend to be received.
By explainations of phenomena to things that support radical conclusions...distracts us from the value of subtle things like intuitive thought collectives. Anybody that just says ghost exist and I don't want to hear about rigged projectors and other hoaxes is usally target to scams..
I would say that my wife and I share a level of telepathy.
In the past 10 years, there have been more times that I can count where we just "know" what the other person is thinking about or what they are about to say. Many times we find ourselves helping the other finish sentences that the other starts.
Maybe it is just us being familiar with eachother, but then again, it could be that our minds and thoughts are so in tune with eachother that we can really send and receive thoughts to eachother.
I've never tired it, and I don't think I would want to.
People keep thoughts inside their head for a reason.
On occasion I can read someones mind and answer them without realizing it. But I think I just got lucky, or maybe it just happens when you are really close to someone and you know what they think.
I kept a friend last night from getting robbed over auto parts the guy went to another dealer and wrote used a stolen credit card to by the same part,the shop owner asked how I knew the guy was a shark I told him together with Zacks "thoughts"and the guys demeaner in response to what was not spoken he had something he was hiding.So reading a person is also in what they do not say,patterned by interaction from routine conversation.
Sometimes I get emotions or pictures, then I can kind of put together what the person is thinking, but its not like full sentences telling me what they're thinking.
It usually happens automatically when I'm with the people I'm close to and I love, especially ones I've tried telepathy with before. I think the closer bond you have with the person the easier it becomes, and the more likely it becomes.
I have tried it and it is not an ability I am able to obtain. I feel though even though it is an invasion of privacay it would help out alot to help people and better know others and it's a really cool thing if it is real
I gave it a shot a few years ago when I was curious about that stuff but I had no success whatsoever. It would be an awesome thing to obtain but I dont see it happening anytime soon. Franky, I think it would be a little frightening.
it is an ability i have unwantingly recieved. at first with no power to know what it was or control it i was so scared and cofused as well as lost i did not know what to do. But after a while of learning to control it has come to use and pain for though i can control most of it a few things seep t hrough my barriers. usually things i dont wanna hear. If you have any questions please feel free to message me. And another ability i have been cursed with is the power to feel other peoples feelings.
Douglas Adams said that telepathy is the very worst social disease anyone can be cursed with.
On day science will find a way to translate signals from the brain - then we will ll have thought monitors fitted inside our heads so the state will no exactly what we are thinking. fear that day.
Maybe one day, but that is still a long way off. We are still mapping the brain. Understanding it completely is a much farther goal. Baby steps in the right direction are key.
it does depend on the kind used..the effectiveness and power
While I've always been able to feel what someone else feels, it's nothing compared to the connection I've been lucky to have with loved ones. More than just finishing sentences, or saying/typing the same thing at the same time.
It's knowing what they have been dwelling on, and what their emotions are; even when we're apart. It's being able to say "I love you" without saying anything, and receive a response from that thought, physical or not, even when we might be states apart.
It works both ways with those I love, they have always been able to do and sense the same things with me.
LS ;)=
I have the power on some levels to accomplish this in one sort or another. There are several factors in what I can and can't.
Not any good at it. Only when family is in dire need, I know it. Some people I rather not read anyhow-limited brain boring.
I know when my husband is going to call or other people who are very close to me. I'll pick up my phone and it'll ring. When I was very little I wanted this guy to choke on his milk in the cafeteria.... I stared at him for all through lunch just thinking about him choking and it scared the heck out of me when he finally choked and all my friends were spooked.
true telepathy as you have described it is hard to come by.
Far easier and achievable is the art of mentalism. Keen observation that discerns with accuracy allows one to read thoughts and even project thoughts upon another.
Remarkable phemomana mentalism,the line between entertaining,social ice breakers,and parlor hocus pocus.
Sadly there are those who would use such talents to manipulate people(mostly greiving, financially tangled,or love crushing.Their is a reason that Palm readers and Tarot readers(both I feel serve a valuable purpose in relations and counsel)use the disclaimer Intended for entertainment only.
The art of "prying","fishing",and 'cold reading"is a very real craft...the wielder is the determining factor.
So the craft can be used to prey upon those that already wish to see "evidence"support our wishes,people who are longing to get back into the dating relationship stream are prone to telepathy study scams,a likely reason... rubes fear falling for another deceptive prospect,or they want to get the dirt,or bonuses of someone without proper introduction.
If telepathy was possible the effort required to tune would thin the ranks of those that tap it.Communication would suffer as well.
I have heard that cats once spoke to us in subtle communication....I really took note when i heard that.I figured as did the source that communication (electronic,satlight.even electricity)scattered the "frequency"over time we lost that ability or report with cats...I was a seeker then.
a half decade later i see a special on the discovery channel about temple gadgets and gimmicktry,a whispering cat in three variations large midum and small sizes geared either with hoses or even tunnels below.and one was at an under-breath "speach"a priest could project thru vents in statues.so the trickery is to be considered as both a studiable craft and a caution to those who may be vunerable.
couples and groups are linked in frequency,drawn speach or how a girl will tell another that a guy is creepy or someone she is interested in to her girl friend right in front of the third party over loud music.Common Communication develops just as all the degrees of tele-projection and reception
well I have tried it and...I am able to do it, I havn't always been able to do so but when I am it's pretty cool, on a scale from 1-10 I'm about a 6 when practicing it I just focus, I close my eyes sitting directly infront of the person and thats how it happends, no real techniques. I"m better at reciving then sending :) and yes I have tried long distance it worked fine it was actually a bit creepy for the other guy lol!
I'm more of an empath than a telepath. One time about 5 years ago I was in a restaurant and all of a sudden I could hear people's thoughts that were around me. I looked around and no one was actually talking except for the people taking orders. That was the only time I ever experienced telepathy.
Telepathy is a skill wich can be achived with honesty and dedication, since that kind of aproach is necceserry in order for the skill to surface and be fully established as a way of communicative expression among humans, serving as the transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means other than the five classical senses.
I never practiced it since I do not have alot of time, but believe to practice it in the future. I believe as well that in the near future, the technological achivements will be capable of tapping in to the functions of the human brain, where they would be able to unlock, and make those abilities readily availible, to a difference to today, when one needs to spend thirty years in attempts of tapping in to one self, only so one can send/recive some petty messages ten times per day, and get very fatiqued after those petty attempts.
Human nervous capacity is just not in the condition to optimaly execute those functions, thats why we can try to perform those with intention, but with no result although all that is required is readily availible already(the brain, perfectly evolved brain, ready to fullfil every capacity, any sort).
It is like all the parts are there, (and they are actually), but they do not work, like they are in the state of atrophy, and need oiling up, but at the same time the fact is that to oil it up is almost impossible no matter what others say, or try.
Thats where technology of the future will jump in, and do the job for wich we would need next 400 years of life per individuall or more, not to mention that a human can live up to 80(as a walking caracass), but is wasted already at 45, thanks to toxins and ionisation, and other genetical flaws. Useless. Imperfect. Seems like he was made only to lift some blocks of stone some times ago, and than left behind, to struggle with everything around him.
Thats where advanced technology will jump in sometimes in the future, to give the Man his Freedom, and give them the finger.
Often I have wanted to obtain this skill, but I don't think it is one a person can learn, but rather more of a gift...
I'm better at recieving, but not very good at either. Sometimes I just get an inkling of what that person is thinking or gonna say then say it out loud and the other person says "I was just thinking of, or gonna say that!" I don't know if you can call that telepathy or not though.
Of all the people that say they have these gifts or powers I still have yet to see someone allow themselves to be tested or openly demonstrate such “gifts”.
i can send messages, but i cant recieve them. kindvof like subliminal messages.
I have always been able to "know" things I was never told about or that some was thinking. It's hard for me to explain what happens....my hubby and I are always in each others head though. At least one a day one of will start singing a song that was stuck in the others mind. We start and finish each other sentences many times during the day. It's like we have one mind. I can't really go into more detail than that. It's just to hard to explain.
i think to be succesfull so do it depend alot of the object for it also is open for it. To do it on someone who dont belive in it i think will fail.
Simply yes.It happens to me.And very often .However,I think , due to several reasons it is not consistant .
EternalX,
That happened to me all the time with my ex. It could be that you two are extremely in tune with one another. Or, you two just know one another soooo well.
I used to (and can still do it at times) be able to sit on the phone with a person and tell their facial expressions, what they were thinking even sometimes how they were positioned. It freaked the hell out of them but I just chalked it up to coincidence or just knowing the person as well as I did.
I can also recall one night I fell asleep watching a David Blane special. While asleep I saw smoke and from the smoke his face popped up and he said "she's stealing your phone charger" I said " your bugging, no she isnt". He said "open your eyes" and when I did, my fiance was standing at the foot of my bed with a phone charger in her hand. Freaked me out. I know I didnt hear her come in. When Im sleep Im comatose.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what that is?
Wolfsbohne
This is pretty much the future of the modern human, where he is using all the technology to do the job for him, but in my opinion this example you mentioned here is the wrong thing exactly, in the way that this chip is enabling a person to process ones though trough it, toward/in the computer net, and using the options of the internet/computer wirelessly, wich at the same time is not any form of telepathy/supernatural abillity, but mere attachment of the human mind to the net, a mere electrical send/recive the thought impuls trough the chip to the net feat, it is having a wireless control over a machine with out use of fingers. It is like connecting in to a plug, rather than evolving the real abillity of telepthy or any other power exibited by the pure power of ones thoughts.
I would not use the chips/technology to merely plug my mind in to something wich is anyway immobile and has no way of evolving something like a telepathy/thought power abillity, but I would use the chips/technology to stimulate certain areas of my brain, in order to avtivate those areas wich are in charge for the supernatural abillity, and with that eventualy make those same chips useless after they have done their job.
I would surf the innernet, not the internet.
I understand the distinction made between technology and supernatural, and I give it about 100 - 200 years before we realize the full potential of those computer chips.
Just to tip the subject on its head for you then, is this question. At what point would you consider the use of telepathic skills no longer supernatural? If everyone is able to do it and communicate via brain waves then why would we consider it SUPER natural?
By the way, thought or brainwaves are how these chips operate - thoughts are the actual power source for the chips. They will not be plugged into an outlet - so in a way it is still a form of telepathic work.
I have some telepathy skills but mine only come to me when some is in danger
I have done it on accident, if thats what you want to call it.
I "hear" what someone is thinking a lot. Most times when I am not paying attention to whats going on. I will ask "what did you just say?" and they say "nothing, I have not said a word. "Then I tell them what I heard and they say that they were thinking it but had not said it .. Freaks people out.
im sure someone out there has soemthing close to it, i mself get strong feelings about ppl close to me. but i wouldnt call it telepath more like a higtened sense of empathy
I have never personally done this. But i have read things about it, it is very intresting, but like someone else says reading peoples thoughts could be bad or sick lol! people think alot of strange things these days
Wolfsbone, I do not see your question as relevant in any way, after all the fact is that it really does not matter. I believe that it is not realisticly established as a stand point, since it is not comming out of the personal realisation of ones understanding and awareness of ones body/brain/mind and what can it all do, wich should evolve of course the highest ideals and thinkings of the body/brain/mind and how to cultivate them and evolve them properly, not mutilate them, like this case of implanting a chip in to ones brain, and call it a form of telepathy as well, wich clearly is not, Why? beacuse it simply acts not more (complex) than a radio antena. Are transistors telepathic in
function, or do they just outlet a signal. Why are they able to recive the signals only, but not read them at the same time? Beacuse they are exactly what they are, dead chips with singleminded function. This is absolutly not regarded in any way as communication via brainwawes/telepathy, but via chip.
If they are telepathic, people with chips, or telepathic transistors, why are they not able then to read and feel for example, plants, and their, or other vibrations? Why cant they understand anything in the way of telepathy, if they are truly telepaths? Beacuse they cannot, (they are chips and chips cant read emotions), but desire more subjects with implants in order to "expresse" them selves "telepathicly", wich is at this point very clear that they are not, but only many signals plugged in to a collective network. ha ha
I laugh at that naive thought, that thought, wich is desiring it self some method of expression/abillity, but it is not working on the way how to expresse it in reallity, in a proper right way, but would use a machine to do it for it, and when you remove the machine, who is doing
anything here? Now you can see that you never did anything, but were in some illusion, better to say, the function of the "telepathic" chip implant is the collective network aka internet(hey chip number 23 how are you you got my email today, hey ok, we do not need to talk about it cuz we are real telepaths and we can process ones thought trough a collective network chip, it does not matter that we are not capable of reaching ones thoughts with our own self, with the real deal, with the brain instead, there where telepathy is not internet, but the whole energetical potential).
I simply stated before that it is not the right thing, that it is not the real thing, and it cannot be called telepathy to implant a chip in to the brain, so the function of the brain - the mind, can process it self trough a chip, wich anyway is so limited in the way of its abillity, that it cant even contact nothing else, but only those wich have the same chip implanted in their atrophied cerebrums, wich are not stimulated, not awakend, but simply helped out with a protesis(helped out to do what? to answer the phone, to read the e-mail, to say hello to another human-phone person. Do you see where is this going? It is turning you in to a human antena-machine not a Telepath), like a man with weak legs wich is using trampoline to jump higher, not to mention that they cant do nothing, but surf some useless bunch of internet material, or say hello the way a transitor tells radio music.
Not to mention again, that it is not any form of telepathy, to process
ones thought trough a piece of metal(thought is everywhere, not in the piece of a metal chip, and that should be learned), and call it still a form of telepathy, simply beacuse it is not the function wich is derrived out of the nature of the brain it self, and Telepathy should be executed by the brain it self only, as the most primary "chip", as the realisation of the thought-power-world existence, and not contain the thought in to a piece of metal sintetic piece of chip, beacuse that is the wrong way to expresse ones potential.
And for the conclusion, a question for you as well Wolfsbone.
Why do you need a cerebral chip in order to communicate "telepathicly" with your friends and people wich are surrounding you and desiring communication like your boss on the job, since you do possess that abillity already, by using an outter chip, called mobile phone. By the way, thought or brainwaves are how these chips operate, thoughts are the actual power source for these mobile phone chips, as they are expressing them selves trough the vocal function, in to the speaker of a mobile phone chip, clearly expressing their thought.
Why do you see this same chip wich can be found in a mobile phone, a telepathic abillity if it is not an instant access?
Is it a telepathical abillity beacuse of the rappid advance of technology wich is now/soon allowing the mobile phone to be implanted in to the brain!?
Do you hold that for Telepathy?
As said before, Telepathy is the function exibited by the power of ones brain/mind willpower, and to truly achive Telepathy is to atrribute its function to the free will of the cerebral cortex only, wich of course needs to be achived,
and not to plug ones cerebral/cortex function in to a collective network, beacuse that is not telepathy in any way.
By jesting over the idea, I formed a new age term, coined/dedicated for the "evolved future of abillity", and of correct expression.
It is Mobile Telepath.
LOL
I can create psyballs and play games with them, i also convinced a cousin of mine to let me connect to him on the emotional level, and occasionally i can feel his stronger emotions, like if he's upset, and i sometimes send a little calmness his way.
I can use psyballs and communicat eon an emotional level.
I seem to be very good at this for some odd ball reason....
i have never tried it but i may have some form of it. i tend to know when someone in the family is hurt or needs me. i tend to know when the kids are lieing to me . but i dont actually read every little thought in there heads. i agree with some i think it would be pretty disturbing to be able to read everybodys thoughts all the time.
i have tried it a few times and a few times it has worked.... and a few times it has not..... go figure
with certain people i've always been able to do it . It's the bond between us .
I've tried 'sending' but didn't do well. However I was able to revieve before.
i always thought it was made up but i have proven wrong. as for if i can do it no sorry
I've tried it before, didn't work. I didn't freak people out by talking to them through mind like I wanted to. It would have been fun to drive them insane.
my friend can read minds...Im not sure how he does it but he can...I can feel thoughts...it is hard to explain but I will try...
It is not like being able to read the person thought I can more feel it...as in if they are sad...I will feel the sadness...if a person thinks aot I feel the brain over load...meaning I get head aches...also I find it is normally best when Im on a sipirtual level with that person...
I hope that helps abit...
There is a way to communicate below a whisper. Takes sycronisity though and you have to have visial until you get to the advance level.Then you can do it in the same genral area.
I have tried but i really do not know how so i do not think i can do it but i would really love to be able to hehe
I will look for the Parlor game that taught me "telepathy"
I have used telepathy and have been able to use it since I was small. I never really practiced it at all, well not on purpose, but my mom used to think things she wanted me to do around the house like picking up toys and I would get up and do it. When I was older my mom would think about wanting a tea and I would go make tea for us when I would come in with the tea she would have a little grin on her face that is how I knew she was thinking at me again. We used to go shopping and try to stump each other as well she would go one way I would go another and thinking we were picking something the other would never think of getting we would end up at the cashier with the same things in tow. So that basically is how we practiced. I can send and recieve pretty well and have been able to do it long distance but only with someone else who is strong as well. I don't fully have control over it yet and find that I get a lot of pictures with some people that I talk to.
My Mum and I have done it a few times, doesn't work very often. Usually if one is very upset or needs the other.
Though once I was out and she sent me to bring back something savory and as I was in a chocolate mood so I brought home chocolate for her. But it really happened and we laughed about if for ages!
Other than that I had I a VERY good friend which again when we really needed each other knew straight away!
My family has a strong connection telepathy wise. We have always been able to pick up on each others thoughts or project thoughts into each others mind.
Telepathy is something I discovered when I was 14. That is the year I met my soul mate. He and I have been able to communicate via telepathy for over 16 years now.
We are states apart and have been for years but he and I can hold entire conversations with each other.
We share, thoughts, emotions, and are even able to affect one another physically when we try hard enough.
I have also discovered this kind of a connection with a couple of my female friends. I think that when one opens up their mind to all forms of physic power and communication anything is possible.
Finally, someone who truely agrees that the mind is capable of doing these things :) It is no invasion, it is type of communication that very few of us are willing to embrace. I'm glad to have found people that use it :D
i actually have the ability. it comes and goes and i also have premenitions. i embrace this gift as it is a really great gift to have.
I also have premonitions and once was talking to a friend in the states and in my mind saw a tornado go through a field near his house. I told him about it and let him know it would happen but not till the fall because that is when I saw it about to happen, and let him know not to worry it didn't hit anything just went through the field. He called me mid way through October to let me know that a tornado touched down in the field near his house and then disapated but never damaged anything but the line through the field so it was nice to have it confirmed for me.
I think sometimes we have a subconcious attentention to detail that we interpret as telepathy.
Darkman's example of the bride cancelling the wedding is an interesting one. Is it that he knew those involved personnally, that it was an arranged marriage. Did he notice the body language of the bride, her unhappiness. Sometimes all these things come together to give us a thought or concept.
Similar things happen in sports, even driving. You know for a fact that person is going to pull out in front of you and your are ready for it and slow down ahead of time. Why? Did you notice they weren't looking your way? They may have tensed, acting as if they were ready to go. Is this telepathy or an attention to detail.
I think we all have the ability to communicate silently with others. Just for some it is stronger with people you develop deep and close bonds with. I find that I have it with my husband and my son. I know when both of them are lying to me, my spidey senses start tingling lmao.
Singularity,
The form of communication I mention is sort of like what vantrilaquist do, A speaking under the breath, in tone with other background sound to blend in with ambient sound what others would over hear. There is a polar trick that is based on this same thing. Using a mix of morse code with gestures or reference nods to fill in for gaps. I will conyinue to look for the reference to the victorian parlor game. Btw Houdini used the same trick to attempt to show Sir Arther Conan Doyle
how Spiritualist operated, it resulted in Doyle swearing he was a Master Medium.
Ah, once again I might point out that communication through body language or subtle signs is not what we mean, because proper telepathy can be done from a distance. I have been doing research on methods of non-verbal communication, that is not what we are talking about here, but the sending and receiving of thoughts or waves.
If I write something down without speaking, I am projecting thought down to paper, if I do the same thing in code then only select people can read it. This subtle communication form is more tangible then telepathy.
You asked for thoughts on telepathy, these are my thoughts, imagine if telepathy was real how many you would hear, all the time, and if not all the time every time you tuned in. What would be the method to pick out the thoughts you want to read, people that buy telepathy based books seek a detour from developing communication skills, they usually hope to discern people at a glance instead of through trial and error conversation.
If telepathy existed it would be labeled a mental deformity. The resulting cacophony would drive people out of their mind, or cause people to go insane from screening their thoughts, I could make a living off of people that believe in telepathy, offering "focus seminars".
I am interested in looking up what you use for your research material.
Hm? Oh that last post wasn't directed at you dabbler by the way :) Sorry if I upset you at all.
I know what you mean, and I do like to hear your thoughts. I'm interested to know everyone's opinions, and it has been good reading them.
What I think, is that telepathy is possible, but not so easy that we can 'hear' everyone else's thoughts in our heads all the time. No human in existence (that I've heard of) can 'see' into the minds of others that easily. For now, our thoughts are our own, but I believe that they can be viewed by those who apply telepathy.
I want to be clear, I feel that methods that allude to telepathic abilities are very much craft. Using cues to "finish the sentences... " among friends is fun and cool to witness by new people in a circle. the use of "gleaned" info to cue the mind to recall something that is likely to entertain a persons perception of telepathy is entertaining, as long as it is done as entertainment, or among a circle of friends.If you research how Mind readers operate you would lock your garbage lid and never speak openly at a hair salon again.
I find the best practice to hone your skills is simple meditation.
I feel you need to have a connection with the person b4 telepathy works and it doesnt always work
Ah you mean like a 'hot reading' I think the term is. A nasty technique employed by alot of fake fortune tellers, where they find out as much as they can about you before the reading.
Hm, this is going off on a different tangent, cause now it's getting into different things other than what the thread was originally meant to be about.
I don't feel that the original questions were answered the way I'd hoped, but it has been an interesting thread nonetheless.
I also don't want this to get heated so *closes door and locks it behind her* :)
