Taking A Look At Telepathy
Telepathy is thought to many things including instinct and intuition. In reality, it the communication without using speech, writing or hand signs. It is, at its base, mental communication.
Communication is not always limited to vocalization or writing, we can convey thoughts or feelings by a look or a touch. Telepathy is removing all normal conventions and feeling through a long distance, and without technology like telephones or email. It is a meeting of the minds as it were. Many animals can convey thoughts or feeling without speaking or touching. This may be known as instinctual behavior, but many believe animals are more than likely telepathic. Many who study this behavior in animals claim it to be true and since there is no science that disproves it, it can be believed.
It is thought that there are some people who live together that still share this mental ability to share ideas within their group or culture.
It is not that telepathy is a cryptic thought process, it is that many do not know what it is or if they have felt it before. At one time in our historic history, humans have been telepathic. Just as easily as humans could read or write, they were able to communicate telepathically.
It may just be that it has been bred out of us or that we lost the need for it due to other forms of communication.
Most are familiar with the concept of our sixth sense, this is assumed to be the telepathic ability of human kind. While this is no longer second nature in people, some animals still have this ability and people can re learn to use this sense.
This instinct can manifest itself in many ways and can be regarded as telepathic in nature by some. I am sure we have all heard the instances of people who are just getting ready to board a flight for a planned trip, just to get a weird feeling and then decided to not to get on the plane. When they get home there are news stories of the flight they were about to take being in a bad crash with few survivors. Did that person who chose not to fly have a telepathic insight? What made them decide not to fly that day? Some might say it is a survival instinct that we all have. Others will say it was a telepathic intuition that made them feel the danger ahead and that is what made them falter and not get on the plane.
Why people starting to lose faith in telepathy or stopped practicing their ability to do so is hard to figure out. However, one reason that can be directly linked to this is the popularity of modern religion. Today, religion all but belittles the telepathic ability or treats it as some sort of sign of being a demon.
Religion has such influence over our culture and they have used that influence to dismiss telepathy as actually existing. Followers have been taught to that only the Messiah or the Savior can possess special abilities and that they need place their faith in that instead of believing in themselves.
Of course, this also brings to light as to why organized religion is so adamant that this ability does not exist unless you are possessed by the devil. What is their fear of this natural ability? The opinion is that if anyone can have this ability, it would make the power of a deity less impressive. You would basically be admitting that anyone can see the future or communicate silently. These abilities are supposed to belong to a higher power, not the common man.
