Telepathic Humans - Myths And Facts
Does it mean we believe in telepathy and that it exists, when we say an individual is ‘telepathic?’ Not many people think so. The idea is considered science fiction or mysticism and it’s dismissed. Even though everyday we live with cell phones, computers and this through the use of invisible air waves which retrieve the information we need. Hundreds of jets (controlled by computers) take off and land everyday world wide.
A modern piece of proverbial wisdom is that sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Science and technology is the domain of human beings, and we use these unique powers to discover hidden things about the natural world, hidden principles that we can then use. What was ‘impossible’ 100 years ago is today routine. We have gone to the depths of the ocean and left this planet entirely…and come back (well, some of us have, but that proves that most or all of us could). We can convert sunlight into power and energy. We can write a message and have it instantaneously delivered, all in tact, to someone even if they are on another continent from us. And it’s all thanks to science, not ‘magic’, isn’t it?
To the people living a century ago, all these things would have been considered impossible. But we know that they do exist. This begs the question: Is it not possible that telepathic people are merely operating in a way that science does not yet understand? But by much telepathy is still viewed as nothing more than magic.
Telepaths are in fact studied scientifically in paraphysics and parapsychology. Paraphysicists and parapsychologists design experiments according to the scientific method to answer questions concerning telepathy; like all professional scientists (or as they are supposed to be), they are agnostic about the results they will get-they neither believe nor disbelieve in telepathy.
In order for the existence of telepathy to be considered a fact by science the results of their studies must show that it is measurable, consistent and repeatable. Because the studies into telepathy have produced inconsistent and unrepeatable results some then insist that it cannot be either substantiated or proven to exist. Others respond that perhaps the scientists just haven’t yet devised the proper kinds of tests. After-all, telepathic people do exist even though we do not understand how.
Yet, questions about telepathy remain. How can people communicate, at least to a significant degree, without making use of any of the five physical senses-communicate with pure thought? Well, human beings do this now with the use of artificial communication technology. For instance, probably every home in the civilized world has a radio in it-but radio waves, which surely do exist, can’t be observed intuitively or felt with our five physical senses. So, it would seem that telepathy is made possible by some force or energy that is there but, like the radio wave, cannot be intuitively or tactiley observed. Yet, the problem here is that the human brain isn’t a radio receiver…
Or are our minds more similar to transmitters than we think? Brainwaves have been proven to exist; these are electromagnetic energy, just like radio waves. These brainwaves are what the study of telepathic abilities are based on. We’ll try to explain this simply as possible.
Scientifically speaking, our thoughts occur as the result of biochemical processes which involve electrical impulses being transferred from neuron to neuron in the brain. These electrical impulses are very small, but they are measureable – and of course, any electrical current will generate a magnetic field. In the human brain, there are thousands of these electrical impulses happening at any given time.
Telepathy researchers are trying to find if the bio-electric and bio-magnetic fields created in our brains could be a means of communicating with others. Can a message be carried on these signals, or is it just so much static? If thoughts can carry information to others, is it possible to learn telepathy through mental training? Are meditation and controlled thought a viable way of training one’s mind to use its inherent telepathic abilities?
It is important to remember that electrical and magnetic fields much, much larger than the ones created by our brains are all around us all the time. Thanks to our stereos, televisions, computers, etc, much larger electro-magnetic fields can easily drown out ours.
But it is possible to boost the human brain to produce a spike in bio-electrical and bio-magnetic brain waves. This occurs when a person is in a heightened emotional state and experiencing pain, shock, fear or the feeling of being threatened. It happens because our synapses are firing more neurons at the same time.
When a mother who is far away from her child suddenly knows that her child is in danger, her synapses are firing more neurons simultaneously and parapsychologists have been able to document these brief instances of telepathy. This raises the question then that if we detect a spike in bio-electrical and bio-magnetic brainwaves, does that mean that there is a link between that and telepathic communication?
As you have no doubt become aware as you have read this, no scientific research has provided evidence that telepathy is an absolute fact. But that is the science of today and it is beginning to change. With an increase in studies we are seeing that telepathy does actually exist. And there is increasing evidence to show that anyone can learn how to learn telepathy if they receive the proper training.
