Thoughts On Telepathy

By David A Andrews
Jun 24, 2009
What exactly is telepathy? Without getting into the technical information, the easy way to understand it is that your emotions or mental imageries can be transferred from one person or another. However what is special about it is you do it without saying anything, touching, tasting, smelling, or even hearing the other person.

Most people believe this to be a type of communication that is well above every other type. Even scientists and animal trainers have done extensive research and found that animals are able to do this from very far distances. Keep in mind this isn't some small study, it's actually to a point where they believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

You will also hear about anthropologists who believe that many of the primitive tribes out there today can utilize this power. While it's not easy to do, they have been able to harness the abilities of telepathy.

Even if you have never considered it before, the truth of the matter is that telepathy is just a different language that can be taught and learned. We already acknowledge those who can't speak correctly or read as well as others, so we should also help those who can't develop their telepathic power. However, it is possible for everyone to develop them to a certain degree.

It's unfortunate, but our civilization has lost its ability to stretch the telepathic mind. Even though it's a natural part of the human brain, society has created a shell for most people to keep from using it.

When you hear people talk about the "sixth sense," they are often referring to things such as telepathy. Others may call it the "third eye," although there are subtle differences in these two phrases they mean basically the same.

You have probably already utilized your telepathic power and haven't even realized it. This is mostly because we consider these to be gut feelings or instincts. Maybe you just felt as though someone was looking over your shoulder, or you're worried about a family member all of the sudden. These things happen all the time and the end result is that you're usually right. It's amazing how we accept this in our world, but the mention of it being connected to telepathy and most people turn their head.

While there is no real answer as to why humans lost touch with telepathic powers, but it's usually because we just stopped believing. Then of course there are many religions out there that don't believe this is a transcendent power from God. Instead religions like Christianity and Islam believe this to be a Satanic tool that has possessed the person with demonic powers.

Sometimes there is nothing you can do when fighting a religion. Many people believe that all the religions have so much power over our society that most people have been taught to put no faith in telepathy. This is because it's believed that the Messiah, Savior, or Prophet has to the natural abilities to do something of this magnitude.

Knowing this, you have to wonder why they are so distrustful when it comes to telepathy. In our own opinion it has to do with the power struggle between religious leaders. Why would they want someone else challenging them if they knew about telepathy? Granted not every leader is like this, but the majority has been throughout history.

Everyone deals with different religions, but if they're not pushing down telepathy, scientists who are narrow minded are the next in line. They believe that telepathy cannot be numerically measured to get enough serious consideration. They also exclaim that it can't be tasted, or even touched. Keep in mind there are several scientists who believe in the telepathy powers, but they are few and far between.

Instead you will find that we classify telepathic experiences as connections and instincts. We believe this is true only because those scientists, who try to bring the negative side to it, can't experience it themselves. However, they're always quick to acknowledge a strange or gut feeling as an instinct. While this wouldn't normally be a big deal, it's hard to understand considering these traits are just as elusive as telepathy.

Some believe it could be that the scientists who oppose telepathy are simply jealous. After all, it doesn't seem fair that someone could do something like this, which is why they don't want anyone else to have them. So instead of branding something different, it is always considered an instinctive response.

We many never find out the true reason why humanity lost touch, but it could date back as far as the story around the Tower of Babylon. Seeing how this was the time when languages were to confuse people, it's possible that the language of telepathy disappeared.
