Telepathy: I took LSD with a very close friend of mine while walking around in the forest, when it was all....

Question

finished and we spoke of what we had experience during those seven hours, we found that we at one point while standing next to each other had experienced the same thing simultaneously. How can this be possible? I am usually a sceptic on such things.

sorry, english is not my mother tounge.

we experienced what we she described as silky smooth flames eminating from behind our eyes, in wave motion. We were both staring at a tree and the more we stared at the tree, the more abstract it became, the more it seemed to melt in one big soup. The more we stared, the more abstract, the stronger the waves would push against the back of our eyes.

Answer 1

I always get confused between LDS and LSD. I wish LDS would do that to me.

Answer 2

The thing about hallucinations is that they always seem so real. Of course they do, since they originate in your brain. Stuff you experience while hallucinating bypasses your brain's reality filter, so you have no way of telling that it's not real. The "realness" of a hallucination gets recorded along with it in memory, so even later when you're remembering it, you recall that it seemed real. Trust your skepticism and rational thought, because memories can be easily fooled. Know that in thousands of scientific tests to study telepathy, never once in a valid test has it ever been found to be any better than chance. Oh, and listen to the other answerers. Lay off the LSD. It'll just fry your mind in the long run.

Answer 3

Because in a way, the hallucinations are real. They represent what happens when all the filtering that your mind does is stripped away. Both you and are friend have the same genetic brain and were exposed to the same stimulus while taking the same drug. With both of your filtering mechanisms gone, you just might end up seeing the same thing. Aldus Huxley called it doors of perception, and that certain drugs can open these doors up which would normally be closed (and this where the band 'The Doors' got their name btw).

It's sort of same principle of looking up at a cloud and seeing a dog for example, and your friend also sees a dog. Except on LSD, the dog seems reals and it doesn't seem like a cloud at all anymore. Anyway, no telepathy is necessary, just a related brain sharing the same experience and interpreting it in a similar manner.

Answer 4

While I really hope you don't take LSD again, I believe there may be something to what you are describing. No one in my family has taken LSD or other illegal drugs as far as I know but a trait for occassional uncontrolled bouts of telepathy seems to run in my family just like freckles or hitchhiker thumbs or any other genetic trait. I unfortunately didn't get it but my sister, dad, and paternal aunt have all had such experiences every so often. My mom and little sister have shared dreams with some of these people. My dad always figured that thought is simply part of the spirit realm. He compared it to like radio waves-it happened to occur most often with people one knew well so he always said that such people were on the same wavelenght. My older sister tried an intentional telepathy game with a friend and my younger sister. Oddly she could name the picture in each of their heads within a few tries every time. But when my younger sister visualized it, it appeared to her in black and white, while when the friend , who is the daughter of two artists, visualized it, it appeared to my sister in color.

Interestingly, Carl Jung wrote about what he called "the collective unconscious." I don't think my dad ever read Jung, but his idea was quite similar to this idea of Jung, although Jung drew different ultimate conclusions about the why of it.

I am noticing some of the other comments are similar to other things my dad said about it. I believe the spirit world can have the "door opened" to it. My parents knew an epileptic that saw and smelled odd things during her seizures. My dad thought this might be her mind becoming opened to the spirit world, and might also explain some "bigfoot" sightings since a strong smell is often described. In the Old Testament, God once opened the mind of a man to see all the angels on the battlefield, fighting the battle. Perhaps this and the shepherds when Jesus was born was their minds being opened to this other world. The Bible also talks about similar things. Ephesians 6:12-13, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand pin the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

Answer 5

One theory about Telepathy is that is is actually done by accessing the Universal Subconscious, a realm independent of time and space where all our thoughts and memories and experiences are actually connected....kind of a massive mental Internet as it were. At certain times, we can access this realm mentally and know or experience things that logically we cannot. So speaking in actual tongues, past life experiences, detailed backgrounds for dreams, telepathy and fortune telling would all, if done honestly, use this network. In some cases, the more certain you are that you do not know the answer, the more possible it is for your mind to open the access and you can find yourself making a very accurate wild guess. Some people experience this playing Trivial Pursuit. I have had a few encounters and they all defieed normal explanations and one of them did involve future sight, which is what made me look beyond ESP as some form of electrical brain wave thing. So your mind was left open in wonderment and one of you ended up briefly logged into the other persons "Myspace" in the Universal Subconscious, as it were. Makes complete sense to me at least. Cool - but don't play with that stuff, it can mess you up.

Answer 6

Maybe whatever shared experience you had really happened but later just seemed sort of dream-like to both of you. On the other hand, it is possible, since there are energy waves all around that we can't perceive usually, the LSD opened your ability to perceive a little wider. Since you were standing so close, you both perceived it. There are lots of things, vibrations, energy waves,etc. that are everywhere all the time and just cause we can't see them or hear them or taste them, we figure they're not there.

Answer 7

This is possible because you are a burn-out and you can't discern between past and present thoughts. In a word you suffer from Vu-Ja-de; the unmistakeable feeling you have never experienced something ever.

Answer 8

A true friend would help you see things more clearly, including the fact that you don`t need to do drugs. Peace and happiness does not come from drugs either

Answer 9

The funny thing is, a lot, if not all of what you see is real. You are open to other dimensions and the masks fall off when you drop acid. That is the reason shamans have always used hallucinogens for their spiritual journeys and contacts. I think they should be called something besides hallucinogens.

Answer 10

Well, maybe it was the LSD - I mean that stuff is pretty potent. Dang, that's kinda creepy... Life is like that sometimes.

Be careful next time.
