Telepathy: Fact or Fiction
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.
To communicate telepathically is to do so on a whole different level than what we are used to. A common belief among scientists and animal trainers, is that animals have been doing this for as long as they have been around. They are absolutely convinced that this is an integral part of the way they communicate with each other and that their abilities allow them to do so over large distances.
Many believe that ancient man inherently had this ability to communicate with each other as a necessity of survival and that some may not have lost this ability over time.
Telepathy may not be as obscure as some may think it is. Telepathy is not just an inherited trait, it should be something that is nurtured and developed at a young age just like the dialect we speak. Just because a child has problems with learning, we should not out rightly say that they can not learn, we must train them in another way. This is the same with telepathy, it may require new techniques to learn to be telepathic, but it can be done.
Instead, our society has alienated this skill and has failed to hone it to perfection over the years. It should be groomed as we would speech, music and our natural senses but it is not.
Of course, the flip side of the argument is why does organized religion preach so vehemently that telepathy does not exist? After all, isn’t denial usually a sure sign of guilt or the truth. The person who is most adamant about their innocence tends to be guilty more often than not. More than likely, they are trying to suppress a power or belief that would weaken their stance with the current members of their religion. Showing a weakness can be that first sign of doubt that could lead to the end of an individuals participation of their faith.
There are many ways that modern humans may now experience forms of telepathy. The instinct that we all think of a gut reaction. In an even more base level, when a woman is pregnant, the baby can not tell the mother what nutrients it is lacking. Instead, the baby communicates telepathically by sending out cravings to the mother. Not all cravings are the funny ice cream and pickle types. The mother generally gets cravings that are vitamins and nutrients that may not be normal in her every day diet. By sending out these telepathic thoughts, the baby can communicate it’s need to the mother without having to speak directly to the mother.
Religious fervor can be accounted for some of the loss of telepathic ability along with natural evolution and need. It is easier for man to think that these telepathic feelings being sent from a higher power than from within themselves. If a higher power is giving us these thoughts, we are more inclined to believe in that power. It makes the gods more powerful in our minds.
Because formal religion has gained in power over the last hundreds of years, many have been trained to put their thoughts and beliefs into their religion instead of into their own inner powers. By idolizing religious icons, the church has gained some power over the faith of its followers.
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.
