Telepathy Is An Ancient Art
It is not simple to define telepathy, in fact most people do not even believe it exists at all. It is basically being able to convey a thought or feeling without being in the presence of the other person involved.
It is widely thought that telepathy is communication through another paralleled thought plane. It is known that most animals use some form of telepathy in communicating within their herds or with other herds of the same species. This can be done over many leagues of area and is even thought that many sea mammals communicate just this way over many depths of sea.
There are also those in the scientific community that believe primitive tribes used powers of telepathy and still have the ability to communicate in this fashion today.
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.
It is felt that there is the possibility that telepathy has evolved out of mankind through natural selection. Perhaps with all the modern advances we no longer need to be telepathic.
In fact, telepathy is sometimes called the 6th sense or your third eye that sees things your other two cannot. While these two facets are not actually related to each other, you get the general idea that these skills are equated to telepathy originating from the second nature that humans and animals are sometimes talked to possess.
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.
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.
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.
It may be that when it comes to religion, it is easier for the men in power within the churches to simply say is their god because then the people who follow that religion will accept it as divine power and will more readily accept that they do not have the power of telepathy at all. It may make a religion seem more important if the spiritual leader can communicate with his god through telepathy.
