The Truth About Telepathy

I have two personal experiences regarding telepathy, both from the early days of my spiritual journey. The first one happened in a parapsychology lab, where I attended the classic experiment of telepathically channeling an image to another person sitting in another room. I was the sender, and a young lady, who is now one of my students, was the receiver.

An image was selected randomly by the facilitator, on which I had to focus on, while the receiver, sealed in the other room, had to draw anything that came to her mind. The drawing was actually quite similar to my image, and the experiment was deemed successful. Ironically, it was recorded and aired on a tv show called Focus on the 11th of November.

The other time, as I remember, I was sitting on a bench, quite confused. This whole spiritual quest was so overwhelming that I was wondering if I went totally crazy, or there was really some truth to it all. So I decided to ask for a sign from the universe, I wanted some reassurance. With that intention in mind, I went into a library, and selected a book from the shelf guided by my intuition.

As soon as I read the title of the book, another guest entered the library, and asked for exactly the same book. I thought to myself: this can’t be a coincidence! I received my sign, and continued my path with even more intensity. However, I don’t believe this was a case of telepathy, rather a perfect example of synchronicity. Please watch my other video about that, titled “How to follow the signs from the universe”.

In spite of these experiences, I don’t believe in the possibility of telepathy. Perhaps it works when the other person’s life is in danger, but this of course can’t be experimented on without putting anybody’s life at risk. I can remember many instances when I felt something like this, but then it turned out that it was just a bad feeling after all.

We tend to forget about these false alarms, and remember those cases much more vividly, when our predictions came true. This is called selection bias, and it’s not only prominent in the case of telepathy, but plays a distortive factor in almost any parapsychological phenomenon. This is one of the reasons why we can’t rely on personal stories when we want to get to the bottom of the matter.

During more than one hundred years of scientific research, the existence of telepathy couldn’t be proven. Many telepaths were revealed as fakes using a secret code, and the so-called genuine ones couldn’t show results which couldn’t be explained by chance alone. It seems that telepathy cannot be recreated in a controlled environment.

It’s an entirely different question when two people are sitting facing each other, trying to guess each other’s thoughts or emotions. You don’t have to be telepathic to do that, because if you’re sensitive enough, you can gain many subtle cues from the other’s body language. A deeply empathic person can even tell when the other person is lying.

Moreover, you can feel someone’s emotions by just connecting to his or her energy, but that’s not telepathy either. It’s as simple as tuning in to the same vibration, and then observing how you feel yourself. I am teaching this technique in detail in my online course called the Rebirth Academy.

Mind reading is an alternative term for telepathy often used in mentalism. Mentalists are stage performers not very different from magicians. In fact, many of them use magic tricks to achieve an illusion of supernatural abilities. While some of them claim to be psychics, others admit to using psychological deception and sleight of hand to woo their audience.

But if the same outcome can be achieved both ways, what’s more probable: that there’s some unknown supernatural force at play unexplainable by science, or that all mentalists are in fact using the same old tricks? I think it’s not a coincidence that whenever a famous mentalist was put to the test, he or she could not or did not want to perform miracles.

While some of these mind reading techniques rely on educated guesses or forced choice, some people are experts at putting thoughts into your mind, making you think what they want you to think about. This is not as crazy as it sounds, and not so difficult either. For example, the famous hypnotist Derren Brown showed many times that this is indeed possible.

According to him, he’s using magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship, and doesn’t claim to have any psychic powers. However, he’s really good at manipulating his subjects subliminally through psychological suggestion. In many of his shows, he also set out to fool or uncover professional psychics, including ghost hunters, faith healers, and channeling mediums, and everytime he was successful.

Joseph Dunninger, one of the most famous mentalists of all time, offered $10.000 to any medium who could produce by psychic or supernatural means any physical phenomena that he couldn’t duplicate or explain by natural means. No medium ever won the reward. In his own words: “through all these long years, I have sought good honest ghosts, phantoms, spirits, astral beings, banshees, fays, wee folk, apparitions, fetches – the whole pack and passel of the unsubstantial world – and I have always been able to prove them frauds.“

One form of telepathy is called remote viewing, namely viewing a place, an object or a scene remotely, using just the power of the mind. One remote viewer described the process as first emptying the mind, and then focusing on the target person, to be able to blend with him or her, to literally see through the other person’s eyes.

After a while, quick glimpses will appear as if they were tiny holes on a closed door, and one is able to peak through them. When enough holes appear, the entire door opens, and the viewer is able to see what the target is seeing. There’s no scientifically explainable mechanism for this kind of telepathy, but the second form of remote viewing is even more far-fetched. Namely, that an experienced psychic can view objects remotely even without an intermediary person, even when nobody else is looking at it.

The military took remote viewing very seriously, because if it was true, they could gain a lot from this kind of intelligence. In the 1970s, the CIA funded a series of experiments called Project Stargate, where they employed a group of psychics who were supposed to be able to utilize their unique skills to locate and identify military targets.

The government spent $20 million on the project with nothing to show for it. Remote viewing was always a sort of last resort, and they never relied on such information alone, simply because it was not reliable enough. In the 1990s, the project was terminated, and if such serious research couldn’t provide evidence for remote viewing, I don’t know what could.

At most, remote viewing is an educated guess, and is plagued, like many other supernatural phenomena, by confirmation and selection bias. A remote viewing session typically lasts for at least an hour, during which the psychic draws dozens if not hundreds of vague sketches, which could apply to many scenes. If one of the drawings even remotely resembles the actual target, it is considered a hit, while the other 90% of misses are forgotten about.

The remote viewer typically speaks in vague terms when describing the target. He mentions such words as church-like, so if the target is not specifically a church, but only a cross on a hill for example, he will still be right. And just like with the drawings, he will list dozens, if not hundreds of these ambigous characteristics, and selects the hits afterwards.

In conclusion, I don’t think you should waste your time trying to learn telepathy, mind reading or remote viewing, because even if they were true, they would only distract you from your authentic spiritual path. However, I am very much for developing your sensitivity, empathy and intuition, because that’s were your true hidden abilities lie.
