Telepathy

 

I believe that we all have thoughts and those thoughts are truly in our own, local minds. However, it seems we also have consciousness, awareness, enlightenment, awakening and instinct all around us. I’ve gotten away from referring to this as religious in nature. I think it is more like environmental or atmospheric. It seems to me there is something in the air, something in the water, some gut feeling. However, it may also work like radio waves. There are obviously many different kinds of communications going through the air around us all the time. This is not a silly, metaphysical notion; it is science and it can easily be tested right now. If you go to a radio and turn it on, there should be sound. It is very likely that you will be able to pick up broadcasts from signals nearby. You can look for wires and not discover them. The signals are completely invisible to the naked eye and yet, they are very complete in detail.

If a simple, manmade transmitting device can send information through the air, doesn’t it seem likely that a more complicated device – a human for instance – should be able to send a similar signal? I believe that telepathy may be this simple; broadcasting and receiving signals. I’ve often tried to send a thought to someone else. I think that I have been successful, but the other person has to be tuned in to the signal or the waves I send are just going right over them.

Occasionally, I notice a received and even a returned signal. I will think of someone and then feel as though they are also thinking of me. Moments later, in many cases, we will communicate in some other way and acknowledge the strange, I-was-just-thinking-about-you-phenomenon.

It doesn’t always have the same effect because both individuals necessarily have to be dialed into the same frequency and they seldom are.

Way back in February of 1939, over 84 years ago, Sarah Carter dedicated one song to a long lost lover, Coy Bays. Coy, then in Washington State, happened to be listening to the song, as it was being broadcast from Mexico, where The Carters performed it live.

 

Suppose Sarah had performed the song and had dedicated it to Coy without Coy ever knowing?

The thing about intention is that it has to be received if it is going to have an effect on others. People are not always tuned in.

If I think of someone at the right time, they’ll pick up the feeling of being thought of. If you have ever felt someone staring at the back of your head, it is because you were on the particular frequency where you finely tuned the static out and then turned around to see that your intuition was correct.

Here is one of the natural progressions:

Intention-interruption-intuition-interception

It does not always follow the rules. If there is going to be telepathic communication, there has to be a feeling on both ends; that’s the wire, the wave, the string between cups or the signal-connection. For instance, I could think of Paul Stanley right now. He is one of my favorite front men in a favorite band. I’ve followed his career, and I’ve been a fan, for nearly half a century. However, Paul Stanly has no idea who I am. Therefore, no matter how often I think of Paul Stanley – or even if I stare at the back of his head – it is just as likely that he will go through life without knowing I exist. He is not a fan of mine; and that makes the difference. This is where the term “interruption” comes into play. If Paul Stanley is too busy to be interrupted by a fan like me, then my signal drops right there.

In the case of Mr. Coy Bays, he was already tuned in to hear his former lover on the radio. Naturally, when she dedicated a song to him, it was well-received and they were married within a month. This is not an example of telepathy; but telepathy works similarly. You can feel someone staring at the back of your head if you are receptive to that signal and willing to turn around when you feel the energy of the other person’s focus. If you are busy doing something else, the other person is just out of luck. You are dialed into a different program.

It isn’t just love stories and feel-good moments either. Telepathy can work if you are angry with another person. If they are willing to dial in to your stream of disdain, they’ll easily pick up on it. People generally have a sense of how you consider them. If you simply do not like someone, they’ll pick up on that if they care to. If someone takes your breath away with a glance, they’ll get that too. However, if they are in a committed relationship, they may not even be tuned in; even if they see you trying to catch your breath. Smiles, double-takes and stares are all very effective signals. So are frowns, scowls and noses in the air. These obvious transmissions carry heavier, more detailed signals; not unlike the lyrics to Sarah Carter’s song, “I’m Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes”. On the other hand, looking at picture of someone you love very deeply is actually a weaker, telepathic signal, and it can be mistaken for a who-am-I-kidding-feeling.

Try it.

Why does this matter?

It matters because this strange occurrence can reveal just how much consciousness exists around us rather than just inside our dark skull. Every thought you have right now is a signal you are working with. The words you are using to explain your thoughts, to yourself, are all words that you’ve acquired from the world around you. You have the ability to put all of these words in any order. You can think of a face and that face can evoke feelings. Any person, place or thing you have ever encountered is now the very impression they’ve left you with. You can touch up these collections of thoughts in any order you prefer. All experience happens where consciousness happens; it is only ordered, in your own unique way, locally. Thoughts are what you are presently doing with the external data available. As soon as you arrange them the way you want them, you begin to feel as though they are yours. They aren’t; it is the way in which you order them that belongs to the receiver. The signal is not scrambled, it is very clear; but we tend to scramble it to make it mean what we want it to mean.

It’s not new age to suggest that All is One. It’s just a way of saying that there is something much bigger than any part and all parts are parts of that. We are parts. We are particular and partitioned but of existence and not apart from it. Consciousness is common property; thoughts are personal arrangements of it.
