Do you believe in telepathy.

[BundleflowerPower]

Do you believe in telepathy? I had a very weird experience, a couple of days ago: An old friend of me, who i haven't seen in years, has an instagram acount and he makes beautiful pictures. A couple of days ago, i was just thinking about him, and wondered how he is doing. And then i thought of a rainbow. The thought of a rainbow just popped up in my mind.
The next day i was taking a shower, and i suddenly thought about his instagram account. I realy had the idea, or the feeling or intuition that i just hád to see it, and that it would somehow surprise or shock me. I checked it, and :shock: whaaaa!!!...there was a picture of a rainbow, placed just the day before.

Isn't that odd?

About 7 years ago I encountered a girl on Facebook. She's from Ralwalpindi.

About 2 years ago, I encountered LSD for the first time in a long time.

I laid in bed in the dark, having my experience. Then I felt the presence of her.

then, after 5 or so minutes, my phone ringed. I wondered if it was her. And it was her.

I'm interested in how people define telepathy? For me I have not tapped into the exact content going on in someones mind.. like you couldn't ask me to read out the sentence playing out in your head if you asked me to.. but I have shared experiences with people where our subtle body language and eye contact far more adequately conveys our feelings than in a normal sober state.. where we can really "feel" each other's energy in a deep way.. I've always thought of this as a sort of "telepathy"

Yeah, empathy is probably the closest we as humans usually experience, perhaps when we look deep into someones eyes.

Telepathy might exist as a paradox, all being one there is no need to comunicate, us being separate we must experience that separation.
Perhaps you could call the whole spectrum in between telepathy.

Not without reason that the portmanteau word 'telempathy' was concocted. Perhaps we ought to wonder what qualities might be brought to bear to bring it into common usage, or maybe to obviate its introduction entirely.

When we are hanging out together, my baby daughter eerily invokes "mom!" every time I think about her mother.

Telepathy most definitely exists as far as I believe. In the vast majority of cases it is accidental but I expect that one in a million telepathic communications is deliberate.

I'm not sure if it's more a strong empathy/empathic response or if it's telepathy, but I've had my share of odd experiences "reading" others without any dialogue or "apparent" cues.

An example was a time while tripping with three other friends on mushrooms. We had been sitting for a long period with no dialogue for a long time, and intuitively at one point, without looking at anyone or consciously noticing any cues, I stood up, grabbed a pipe, walked it to my friend, handed it to him, to which he freaked out wondering how I knew he needed the pipe becausehe was tripping too hard to get up and get it...

But you know me, my skepticism extends to everything :twisted:

One love

Same here. And I wasn’t too much like I am these days before I began having experiences with the plants. My life is beautiful in that way now days. Sometimes I think that telepathy and empathy might not be different really. Perhaps it’s just different perspectives. One person might perceive it in the mind and another might feel it more.

I had an experience when I was 16 with a person that went beyond telepathy. From that point I sought to understand that experience and the nature of why it happened. That let me first into learning about the occult and paranormal stuff. A few years later I tried LSD. At the time those events were separate things to me. Eventually I start to learn about shamanism and Enthoegenic plants. I feel like I slowly put pieces of understanding together for my self, and this has become my "spirituality" so to say. I have had many other varied "unexplainable" experiences since my teens both on and off of psychedelics. So far the experiences that are not drug induced tend to be the stronger more profound for me. It is a continuum as far as I see it as to how far taped into the universal energy one gets to in these experiences.

-D.

So delighted to find this thread. Telepathy is one of those topics I will only speak with few people about, frankly because most folks are too skeptical to experience it, even if they are picking up on vibrations all the time.

I know telepathy is real. I’m interested in talking about ideas on how it might work.

Sometimes it is little hints or intuitive knowing, other times it is as pronounced as verbal dialogue. I have experienced telepathic moments both in and out of the expanded (entheogenic) state, but obviously all of my experiences in the expanded state were more intense, pronounced, and undeniable.

We all know how healthy and indispensable a degree of inquisitive skepticism can be. There were obviously moments in my life (at this point years ago) where I doubted the truth of my own experiences. I feel confident in their validity and my own sanity

I’ll share some of my experiences. I loved what RhythmSpring said here:

Love is telepathy.

Telepathy is an offshoot of love.

It was humbling to me to realize that many people in my life (mainly women) naturally experience this level of telepathy that was so "whoa" to me when it first started happening.

My most intense telepathic experiences have been with people who I love, and who love me reciprocally, genuinely. On more than one occasion, my partner and I have taken a moderate dose of LSD together and begun conversations mentally and finished them verbally. Every time it happens, we have a moment of acknowledgment, and usually astonishment, then laughter.

There are moments I’ve known a loved one was about to contact me by phone moments before they did. There are times I’ve perceived someone else’s vision as if in a dream or trance. There are times I’ve simply “known” something had happened or would soon happen, even though my sense didn’t account for that knowing.

I have a guardian angel, or bodhisattva guide, or whatever language you are most comfortable with. I met her in human form in this life time, although not for the first time. Before she left her body, she passed on some invaluable lessons. One thing which she stressed to me, several times, was that the internet is a dim reflection of the organic and real internal network (inner-net) which connects all life forms.

As several people here have commented already, transcendent experience reveals to us the truth of divine Unity. I believe that when we are open, present, and dwelling in our organic state of love, we are able to communicate with one another in a much more direct way than words allows for, and we often call this kind of communication intuition or telepathy.

As for the function, I can only guess, but I would start with the heart. As the center of electromagnetic resonance and feeling, I think it is possible that telepathy happen through the perception of subtle electromagnetic vibrations (vibes, if you will) emitted from the hearts and minds of other beings. People who practice tree hugging can tell you about the perceivable experience of electromagnetic emotional exchange that happens when they hug a tree with their heart open. Just an idea

I think it is also worth noting that mind and body are not separate entities. The body exists in the mind. There are many subtle physical signs another may give off that we don’t even realize we are perceiving and learning from in the moment. That said; the moments of conversational telepathy I have experienced were clear, like the sound of the person speaking but inside my mind.

Regardless of mechanism, we (manifest beings) are undoubtedly united to the root, and therefore able to communicate in a myriad of way, many of which I imagine we are still learning to discover.

Synchronicities are a big thing too as well. Telepathy and synchronicity's go together well. Its called predictive events and you somehow tapped into your friends thoughts. Predicted/saw the picture of what your friend was drawing. Now remote viewing mixed with telepathy is what it sounds like. Did you feel as if you were in the same place the whole time as you saw this or did you feel your "self" separate from your body and go find this image? I have things like this happen on the daily most of the time
I would just like to know what your experience is with this type of phenomena.

And yes, I fully believe in telepathy, but i dont think its explained in a way that we yet understand as telepathy seems to be its own language.

I know it does. There was a period during which a number of people word-bombed me (a single word written in capital letters) with a term very specific to my thought process or experiences that seemed highly unlikely they should use without having telepathic insight. These people acted independently of one another (i'm pretty sure), as if orchestrated by some kind of collective subconscious, or something. It's weird. I keep it in mind but tbh it doesn't seem very important to me. My relations, health, career, finances, hobbies etc seem important to me, but I don't know what the use of telepathy is to me. I use intuition (allowing feelings to act through me) to guide me, for example, by using the tarot. But largely I can't see the use for it

There is a way to send visuals to the recipient. Almost like tripping and seeing through your third eye, except you control what your seeing and sending. Words pronounced with letters that provide a visual to read in one's mind is difficult to do. But practicing visualization helps with this. Once you have visual practice, you can send people what your seeing to them as well, you become the remote to viewing, through your lens to thiers.

Some people of a idealistic perspective would argue that telepathy can be seen as reality being an projection of consciousness. That all individual experience is like the visible part of the iceberg, while underneath they are connected. Instead of a send and receive between sender and receiver which presupposes an isolated unit of consciousness, this idealistic view presents individual consciousness as leaves branching from a stem and therefore the branches can communicate through their stems. So the dilemma of telepathy stems from the clash of materialistic and idealistic views of consciousness. Sender and receiver require apparatus and medium. The other view is much more simple, transmission through undercurrents of consciousness...

Though I resonate with the view that there is no ground to explain or acknowledge telepathy but it has been experienced often. There are esoteric ritualistic techniques to enhance consciousness and work with things like telepathy and other 'paranormal' skills. However a controlled scientific study or even reasonable explanation are not to be expected. Also the human makeup as I understand it, is just a little short of these higher consciousness states, so we stumble and are deluded most of the time.

This is so well said! This is how I view it, too.

Surprised no one has mentioned shared hallucinations, that was perhaps the first indicator I had.. where not a relevant/suggestive word was spoken by either party prior to it occurring, then detailed matching visual hallucinations were described afterwards.

There have been two occasions where me and a friend have deliberately tried to read minds with success. Once with a skeptical friend, who visualized something in his head and I had to guess. After 3 or 4 correct answers we stopped. Another who was looking at the inner pages of a book I had never seen and he asked my questions about the year of publishing, where etc. Being high on both occasions helped facilitate it I believe.

It only seems remarkable if your particular paradigm is that the mind and brain are the same, and confined to the insides of your skull due to a philosophy of science that is heavy on the materialism.

Our minds might not be as individualized as we think. Maybe there is only one ocean and sometimes our lack of coherence, or increased synchronization, allows ripples to wash over and connect when they would otherwise pass by.

It certainly comes with a feeling for me personally, a subtle cerebral or mental feeling.

Interesting you mentioned shared hallucinations. Circa 2010 I had Salvia tripped with my friend and he ripped a bowl and was tripping stating "Bro I'm on the moon!", I rip a bowl, holy shit I'm there too now, and we see each other LOL. 5 mins later we back playing guitar hero

Another similar case not quite hallucinations but a shared dream but semantics.. anyway I was like 6 or 7 years old and one summer I took a nap with my mom and we had the exact detailed dream in black and white about a little girl my mom was baby sitting at the time. We were both in disbelief on that one.

Yeah the universe is a strange ancient and mysterious place
