Definition of Telepathy
Telepathy (from the Greek τηλε, tele meaning
"distant" and πάθη, pathe meaning "affliction,
experience"), is the transfer of information on thoughts or
feelings between individuals by means other than the "five
classic senses". The term was coined in 1882 by the classical
scholar Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical
Research, specifically to replace the earlier expression
thought-transference.
Telepathy refers to mind-to-mind
communication without the intervention of the senses, e.g knowing
what somebody is about to say. Clairvoyance refers to the mind
picking up information from the environment, e.g knowing which card
is about to be turned over or what horse will win a race. They are
both forms of ESP or extra- sensory perception, a term which covers
any communication between an organism and the environment that is
essentially psychic in nature, i.e that cannot not accounted for by
sensory contact, including subliminal cues or inference. ESP
phenomena have been reported throughout history.
One common
type of telepathy experience is so called crisis telepathy, where
individuals suddenly become conscious that someone they are mentally
close to has died, even though they are physically distant. (5)
As
described by R. Osgood Mason, the report was "a description of
various experiments undertaken... to determine... whether one person
or one mind can receive impressions or intelligence from another
person or mind without communication by word, touch, or sign or by
any means whatsoever apart from the ordinary and recognized methods
of perception or the ordinary channels of communication."
(6)
The physics and experimental methods
A) Mason
categorized telepathic experiments in four classes:
Like the Willing Game, an
experiment in which a prearranged task is accomplished with personal contact maintained between the operative (sender) and the sensitive
(receiver).
Those where a prearranged task was
set with no personal contact between operative and sensitive.
Where the sensitive ascertains a
name, number, or card without using any of the ordinary channels of
communication.
Where two or more people convey
the same impressions or have the same ideas although widely
separated from each other. (6)
B) Telepathy and
its consequences
Primary receiver or sender : A
primary receiver receives the information signal transmission from the
primary sender.
Interference : Multiple signals
interfering with desired/focused signal reception.
Signal
degradation : reduction in link quality through mitigating
factors.
Uncontrolled Reception Increase :
Where the skill of the telepathic increases through the practice of
telepathy, thus leading them to levels of interference.
Blocking : Methods of
lowering interference; thoughts and behaviors which diminish the
effects of incoming signals.
Willed “psiconnection” :
Pulling a bit of your consciousness out of your body. Not all, just a
fragment. This way you are very much aware of your body, and also
aware of your target as well. Then, merge the detached awareness
portion into the mind of your target.
Willed
“teleconnection” : Requesting communication or sending
signals to a particular person.
Signal signal crossing : Sending out your own signal, which than is reacted to as a
transmission from the primary receiver.
Multi crossing
: Multiple signal reception.
Privacy interference :
The illegal interference into
personal memories or sensitive personal data, that can be used for
exploitation means.
Tele-allusion
: When an individual thinks their minds can be read when there is no
acknowledgment of a specific sender and their specific transmission.
Signal
reality test : When
an individual proves the signal received has been the one sent out,
by communicating locally with the sender.
Psi
channels : the ESP organs
or brain features within the brain. The brain might be thought to
have various gates or receievers wherein it can attune to the
physical world. As an example of thought channels, a person can be
functioning on the desire and materialistic channels of the mind,
where as in theory, a psi channel would be one where such things as
entanglement, or other unknown causes, can effect telepathic ability.
A biological or physical basis for psi channels, has not been
researched in this publication.
Entanglement : It’s
possible to link together two quantum particles – photons of light
or atoms, for example – in a special way that makes them
effectively two parts of the same entity. You can then separate them
as far as you like, and a change in one is instantly reflected in the
other. This odd, faster than light link, is a fundamental aspect of
quantum science – Erwin Schrödinger, who came up with the name
“entanglement” called it “the characteristic trait of quantum
mechanics.” (9)
Quantum entanglement has many areas of
application, including secure encryption, ultra-fast quantum
computers, ghost imaging, teleportation, and perhaps telepathy.
Humans are not the only subjects that show telepathic
properties. It has reported that intact double-stranded DNA has an
ability to recognize similarities in other DNA strands. This
recognition occurs between sequences of several hundred nucleotides
without physical contact or the presence of proteins. The way they
identify one another and combine chemically is not fully understood.
This behavior can be observed in water that contains no proteins or
other material that could interfere with the reaction. There needs to
be some sort of communication, attraction or guidance between
individual DNA strands to explain this behavior. Do these DNA strands
communicate through entangled particles?(8)
Entanglement is the physical phenomena which is used as an explanation of notion of the cause and thereafter mechanics of telepathy. Alternative causes can be proposed and investigated.
Non-entangled
temporal normality : If such
were possible at a macro level we would witness more random
fluctuations or changes that would not be accountable in the same sense
as normal causes and effects take place. At a small enough level,
without two or more shared particles or mirco phase spaces (place
where atomic phenomena occurs), an observer can not test entanglement
of the two or more regions of energy/matter.
Cosmic
consciousness : A mental plane
that exists as being widely accessible through out the cosmos, and
creating the union-ship of thought because of the sameness or
knowledge of an absolute reality.
Sameness consciousness/unity consciousness : a number of conscious minds as thought of in terms of their sameness in their anatomy and informational structure.
Integral consciousness/holism : The idea that minds can understand their own context and the natural context of the world within a holistic/unified/interdependent whole.
Source connection : The idea that all things, mental and physical come from the same source, a singularity 13.7 billion years ago (as in the Big Bang model).
Scientific
Credence
Surveys show that a large proportion of
scientists accept the possibility that telepathy exists. Two surveys
of over 500 scientists in one case and over 1,000 in another both
found that the majority of respondents considered ESP “an
established fact” or “a likely possibility”—56 percent in one
and 67 percent in the other.
Even before quantum mechanics
began to supersede classical mechanics in the 1920s, many physicists
were much more open to investigating psi phenomena than most
psychologists seem today. An astonishing number of the most prominent
physicists of the 19th century expressed interest in psychic
research, including William Crookes, inventor of the cathode ray
tube, used today in televisions and computer monitors; J.J. Thomson,
who won the Nobel Prize in 1906 for the discovery of the electron;
and Lord Rayleigh, considered one of the greatest physicists of the
late 19th century, and winner of the Nobel Prize in physics in 1904.
The great psychologist Gardner Murphy, president of the
American Psychological Association and later of the American Society
for Psychical Research, urged his fellow psychologists to become
better acquainted with modern physics.
Murphy wrote in 1968:
“… the difficulty is at the level of physics, not at the level of
psychology. Psychologists may be a little bewildered when they
encounter modern physicists who take these phenomena in stride, in
fact, take them much more seriously than psychologists do, saying, as
physicists, that they are no longer bound by the types of Newtonian
energy distribution, inverse square laws, etc., with which scientists
used to regard themselves as tightly bound.… psychologists probably
will witness a period of slow, but definite, erosion of the blandly
exclusive attitude that has offered itself as the only appropriate
scientific attitude in this field. The data from parapsychology will
be almost certainly in harmony with general psychological principles
and will be assimilated rather easily within the systematic framework
of psychology as a science when once the imagined appropriateness of
Newtonian physics is put aside, and modern physics replaces it.”

Government Testing Telepathy
Congressional Research
Service was commissioned to do a report on psychic phenomena and
offered the following conclusion:
”Recent
experiments in remote viewing and other studies in parapsychology
suggest that there exists an interconnectiveness of the human mind
with other minds and with matter. This interconnectiveness would
appear to be functional in nature and amplified by intent and
emotion.”(3)
According to an official CIA paper written by
Gerald K. Haines, the historian of the National Reconnaissance Office
(NRO):
‘There
is a DIA Psychic Center and the NSA (National Security Agency)
studies parapsychology, that branch of psychology that deals with the
investigation of such psychic phenomena as clairvoyance, extrasensory
perception, and telepathy.” (4)
In 1966 a man by the
name of Karl Nikolaiev came forward as a volunteer for
parapsychological research. Karl was a receiving telepath of skilled
nature, and is one of the proving points that Psi Phenomena do in
fact exist. The Soviet’s wired Karl up to bio-stat registering
equipment, including an EEG machine, in Novosibirsk. In Moscow, Yuri
Kamensky, a natural telepath, prepared to Send objects over
telepathic frequencies to be recorded by Nikolaiev. Karl was not told
when the telepathy would begin.
At 2000 Moscow time (Nearly Midnight in
Siberia) Kamensky was handed the first package, containing one of the
6 objects he would send, having 10 minutes per Sending. As he began,
Nikolaiev noted that the sending had begun (evidence in and of
itself.) The object, a metal spring with seven tight coils, was
correctly identified by Karl as “round, metallic, gleaming,
indented…looks like a coil.”
Says Kamensky “it seems to me every
person has this ability to send and receive telepathy. But like any
ability, it’s necessary to train and develop it. Some people, of
course, are more talented at it than others.” Nikolaiev was not a
born telepath. He trained his ability. (1)
Normal Experiments
More recently Honorton has
introduced Ganzfeld experiments. These assume subjects will perform
better at psychic tasks if sensory information is blocked out. They
also let a machine randomly select the target (which is any one of a
thousand-odd images). Meta-analyses of these experiments show very
significant effects, possibly because the images are more interesting
and/or because blocking out sensory information aids telepathy and
clairvoyance (e.g Honorton 1985). (5)
Twin TelepathySome
of the most compelling evidence for telepathy comes from the study of
identical twins. More than one hundred years ago, eminent British
scientist Francis Galton published a short article in which he
commented that twins in the company of each other were witnessed to
“make the same remarks on the same occasion” or to “begin
singing the same song at the same moment.”1 According to Guy
Playfair, author of Twin Telepathy (Vega, 2002), as many as 30
percent of identical twins appear to experience telepathic
interconnection.
The “Jim twins,” for example, had been
separated at 4-weeks-old and were apart for 39 years. Both were named
Jim, married a woman named Linda, divorced, and then married another
woman named Betty. However, one Jim was on his third marriage. They
both had had childhood dogs named Toy and sons named James. One son
was James Allen and the other James Alan. They both had been firemen
and sheriffs. Both bit their nails, suffered from migraines, smoked
Salem cigarettes, and drank Miller Lite beer. Each was 6 feet tall
and weighed exactly 180 pounds, though they wore their hair
differently. Among the most remarkable shared details was that both
had a compulsion to build a circular white bench around a tree each
of them had in his yard right before they met.
Telepathic twins could be an
illustration on the macro scale of what physicists see on the micro
scale in electrons that have been entangled, or coupled. Entangled
electrons must always have spins that are complementary, or opposite,
to each other. If entangled electrons are allowed to travel
light-years away from each other, they still maintain complementary
spins. If the spin of one of them is altered, the spin of the other
instantaneously changes. This “nonlocal” effect is due not to a
signal between the two electrons but rather to the fact that in some
way they have remained interconnected. (2)
