Telepathy? What are the theories of why this occurs or appears to occur?

Question

What is it exactly? What is the nature/general characteristica of the relationship/connection of the 2 people involved in telepathy?

Answer 1

They would be in one of only two categories - the identical twin or the doppelganger. These individuals have identical neural pathways in their brains, so that when the infra-red signals that connect their thoughts and memory banks are activated, these signals activate the same pathways in the other person.

There are two misconceptions that I need to mention here - the signals are not in any real sense electrical, and they can only go short distances. Experiments made at Stanford University between 1972 and 1981 clearly demonstrated this, but unfortunately the Hoover Institution there decide prematurely that there had to be some tampering involved and they forced a discontinuation of the program.
There have been groups since then that tried to cash in on those experiments by adding bogus science to them and pretending to have reached new ground on that subject.

One was the Sylvia Brown group, but they backed off when the Amazing Randi took them on. Ironically, he also has refused to believe any of the earlier Stanford results.

It's somewhat of a tragedy that this type of thing has happened so many times over human history. Galileo had been able to generate electricity with the use of equipment fashioned after Roman aqueducts and grain milling apparatus, but the Doges at the time observed the sparks and static electricity generated and called the contraption the work of the devil.
There was a man named Tesla who patented a device to convert the infra-red signals that we emanate to long distance alpha centric waves, so that relatives could speak to each other in a limited fashion even though miles apart. But this device had to be demonstrated anecdotally and scientists in charge of patent approval couldn't accept that method.

I short, we would be a lot farther ahead in our efforts to obtain world peace and have robots do the menial tasks, etc., if we would just open our minds a bit more.

Answer 2

I've read that people who seem to be receiving telepathic messages are actually unconsciously picking up hints from the environment or from the body language of those around them. Their brains then put the information together and come up with an accurate guess about what's going on.

Another hypothesis is that it's pure coincidence raised to the level of mysticism.

But that doesn't explain how I knew, the minute I walked into my sister-in-law's living room that her house would soon burn to the ground (I told her and her husband, and my husband, but no one believed me. Two weeks later the wall heater exploded and burned the house down). Neither does it explain how I experienced my grandmother's death at the exact moment it happened, even though I was on the opposite coast from her at the time and had no reason to believe she would die at that particular moment. It doesn't explain how a complete stranger can walk up to me and say excitedly, "I bet you can't guess ..." (some situation I'd never known or cared about) and I hear that person's mind shouting the answer. You should see the jaws drop every time I calmly voice the answer they've just given me mentally.

But mental telepathy isn't logical. In spite of hundreds of other experiences I could cite, I can't believe the mystical mumbo-jumbo people have come up with to explain the phenomenon. I personally believe it may have something to do with the way our brains produce electrical signals. There are currently devices being developed with hair-fine electrodes to pick up and transmit electrical impulses from the pre-motor cortex of the brain. When these dime-sized devices are implanted on the surface of the brain, they allow amputees to control not only things like computers, but also the movement of artificial limbs by just thinking about what they want those devices to do (exactly the way we control our real limbs). The sensors need to be implanted on the surface of the brain because the skull blocks most of the signals, making those that can be detected outside the skull too weak to be useful.

But, what if our brains contain biological sensors that are much more sensitive to these weak electrical signals than any device we can currently manufacture. Wouldn't it be logical to assume that those ultra-sensitive mental sensors would be able to receive and interpret the weak signals from the minds of others? I think we don't know nearly enough about how our brains function to discount a physiological explanation for what we term telepathy.

As for your question about the relationship between the people involved: As I touched on above, I've picked up feelings, words and images from complete strangers, but only when I've been in close proximity to them, and they have some emotional stake in the answer they may be bursting to tell me. Most of the feelings and thoughts I've picked up have come from certain pets and from people I care about. Although, I never picked up any thoughts from my mother, who was the most un-intuitive person I've ever known.

My older daughter began picking up very detailed thoughts from me (whether she was standing next to me, or at the opposite end of the apartment and sound asleep) from the time she was about two years old.

I have met a few people whose minds feel to me like closed doors in cold, empty houses. I've never picked up anything from those people.

Answer 3

i think intuition plays a relatively big part in it. i think if you have a connection with someone, you can use that connection and if you conscentrate hard enough you can almost certainly send signals to their brain.

this may sound crazy, but animals do it with each other all of the time, so i can't understand why us humans find that concept so difficult to believe!

its worked for me in situations all my life.
its all about tuning into others and learning how to use it effectivley.

practice and you might be surprised.

when we know for certain that animals are extremley instinctive, why do we find it so hard to believe that we are the same?

Answer 4

That one person has a great ability to send non verbal signals through his or her expressions and the other person is very sensitive to non verbal communication and can understand without words what the other is meaning.

Answer 5

man

i don't even know really

I didn't used to even beleive in it

Pinky ken do it though

and she ken fly

and sometimes I ask her a question, even silently, then somebody else answers
