Telepathy. What, Why, and How

pello · 2011-09-26T17:51:05+00:00

There is a person in my family who could hear sounds that we can't hear. We thought it was ok at first since there are many people who says that they can too(like god, ghost,the guy in the next room), but as the situations are getting wild (she's being command to do something), we all suggest her to go to see a doctor. Anyway, my perspective is that she have a Schizophrenia, but I am a careful person who likes to consider things in all possibilities. I looked up google and find various informations but finds that there aren't clear borders between the two. So I need some people (better experienced) who could give me some answers and suggestions about what may be telepathy and what isn't with the following informations and question below. ps: I know it is much likely a Schizophrenia than a Telepathy. But I hope that this topic can be more focused on Telepathy since I want to learn what you guys know about it. infomations: 1. She can communicate with others through her mind(brainwave) who she claims that are alive .(although i never knew who and if this guy is real) 2. She can do the above with people thousands of miles away.(like usa to china) 3. She can do the above with multiple people at the same time.(it is like a MSN or Skype installed in your brain ) 4. She claims that people with high rank in the government (for example the president) around the world all knows this technique. (she even claim that there is a group in UN specialized to treat these problem.) qusetion: 1. Anyone of you know more about Telepathy? what is it like and how does it work 2.Is there any distances limitation with this technique? 3. Estimated numbers/percentage of people that can do it too and who they might be. Sorry for my bad english since it isn't my mother language.

Oh and for your questions, yes telepathy is very real, not exactly in the way you would perceive it but simple sensory details that are encoded in such a way in the environment or through the motions of others that causes your brain to react thus allowing for telepathy to take place but as it requires stimulus within perceptionary range,thousands of miles without prior training and heritage seems lunatic at most.

What you seem to be implying, in a vague way, is that 'telepathy' is a preternatural aptitude for picking up things such as body language and microexpressions. Although your mention of it being possible at great distance at all makes me think you also think there is something supernatural about it.

I would say that some people have a better natural ability than most to read people's emotions, and that this might happen subconsciously, so that the actual result is that person typically having a good idea of how people are feeling, even when those people aren't actively expressing their emotions, without knowing exactly how or why.
I wouldn't call it telepathy, I would call it having a certain perceptiveness.
I don't believe that anyone is actually capable of real telepathy; as Takerial mentioned, no one has ever been able to prove that such powers exist. In the great many experiments conducted on the subject, no one has ever done better than chance would suggest they would do by guessing, and in most cases, they actually preform worse than chance.

I am not a psychological professional, but as someone who has been a patient, and who experiences auditory hallucinations, I would say that it sounds like your sister is hallucinating, and is probably also suffering delusions.

If you want to know for sure, get her to a professional. Failing that, maybe a priest or something, I don't know.

She is Buddhism at first, but now she thinks the masters in Buddhists are trying to get her. And recently, it became something political which I think is nonsense. So I can say that yes, this is something that starts from religious.

No problem, well if she is truly honest about her "telepathy" she would easily be able to prove her power by bringing evidence via a seperate person, but by bring logic and reality you can often lessen,weaken,or disrupt any abnormal powers or chance by distinguishing subconsciously in your mind what is real and what is a chance that you have manipulated. To prove it true would probably be out of the question as it is a speculated unknown ability but to prove it wrong would not be out of the question, ask her if possible about the reasons behind not wanting to give proofs or not being subject to experimentation.

For your question, it would depend specifically on the type of communication. Analytically, the scientific type of telepathy would probably require tremendous amounts of concentration on one object or view but can theoretically be done with anything or anyone in your vicinity. But being based on something that probably isn't an established fact, her power can probably be as limited or unlimited as you described and varies through method. If by synpatic bond it would mean depending on strength of user you can transfer information to those of stronger will and receive and send from those who are weaker so in that situation your connected in a web of sorts. If in a hive mind or collective bond which is closely related and is much like the internet itself, based on unknown ranking or placement or strength one can pass on information through various links or hubs which would be another but in this type of bond it could go by so quickly the message can probably move as if one were speaking to many. For an example, lets say there are 5 people in a message board, if one were to send out a message, all 5 would receive it,this would be an example of a synpatic bond, while if one were to tell or macro it to someone and they were to immediately send it to the other 3 that would be an example of a collective bond.

1. She tried to prove it, the results is false. Then she told me a whole lot of story meaning that it wouldn't work sometimes.

2. According to her speech, it is a collective bond.
