user posted image rAnthony North: Yachtsman Chay Blyth once found himself in trouble in the Atlantic. He had overturned and was trapped for hours before rescue. At that very moment, his wife Maureen suddenly felt nauseous and knew he was in trouble.Parapsychologist Stanley Krippner remembers a similar feeling of knowing. As a boy he once wanted an encyclopedia. Uncle Max would buy it, he thought. But then another thought entered his head. Uncle Max was dead. Seconds later the phone rang. Uncle Max had, indeed, died.What is it ?The above are supposed cases of telepathy a word coined by researcher Frederic Myers from the Greek ‘tele,’ or distant, and ‘pathe,’ meaning ‘feeling’. The most common form of paranormal phenomena, poll after poll has confirmed a large percentage of the population claim to have experienced it.Often called extrasensory perception, or ESP, this term was first used by explorer Sir Richard Burton in 1870. Indeed, ESP is a better term for such knowledge, which is said to come in two forms - telepathy or clairvoyance.The former is said to be mind to mind contact, whilst the latter suggests the mind can go walkies about the world, visualising things not recordable by the senses. Many researchers have noted the line between these two information talents is so thin that they could simply be subtle manifestations of a single ability to perceive information.

Variations on a theme: Zoologist Sir Alister Hardy had an interest in ESP after meeting a Mrs Wedgwood during World War One. She spoke of someone looking at engineering plans with red and blue squares. Hardy had been studying such plans that afternoon. On another occasion she saw a large pink square. Hardy had been painting a white card pink earlier. There are many variations on the ESP trail. On 7 December 1918 Lt David McConnel flew out from Scampton after telling his friend, Lt James Larkin that he’d be home for tea. He never returned, dying in a plane crash. But at that exact moment, Larkin saw him in his doorway. They had a short conversation before McConnel left.Cases like this are often called crisis apparitions, involving hallucination born from extrasensory knowledge or feeling. At times they have saved lives. Typical is Dr S Weir Mitchell from l9th century Philadelphia. One evening he dozed off to be awoken by a girl at the door saying her mother was ill. He followed her through a blizzard to find her mother with pneumonia. He later found out the girl had been dead some time.In December 1952 Norfolk midwife Gladys Wright couldn’t get patient Joyce Goodwin out of her mind. Eventually she drove to her house to find her in premature labour. In 1955 Wisconsin housewife Joicey Hurth suddenly felt chilled, believing her daughter had just been in an accident. She rang the cinema she was going to to discover she had just been knocked down.

WHAT IS MENTAL TELEPATHY:
http://www.mallorca-real-estate.com/dailybulletin.html
The term has been around for centuries - myths and legends from distant civilizations and cultures speak of “special” people who had the power to communicate words and images to others without uttering a sound.

Some modern cases have been presented, investigated and later filed away as “inconclusive”. Claims by fortunetellers, mediums, and similar “artists” have never led to any concrete scientific conclusions. This is not to say that all such claims are false - it could be that we, at this moment in time, do not have the knowledge or the devices to investigate the phenomenon correctly!

Since the 50´s writers have usually portrayed aliens as communicating by mental telepathy.....saving the science fiction writers reams of ink trying to “invent” alien words and languages!

Today the term could be defined as the possibility for two brains (or more) to communicate with each other via electromagnetic signals (“brain waves”).

THE ONSET OF MENTAL TELEPATHY TECHNOLOGY:

Trying to decipher the “messages” contained in the brain waves of an adult would be totally impossible. (Trying to analyse the brain waves of young tourists on the Punta Ballena street of Magalluf at 3am after a “Pub Crawl” would leave scientists baffled! Brain wave activity there would be practically “ABSENT!”)

ALL brain functions, signals and nerve actions create electromagnetic signals - all together they form a pattern (“brain waves”) that doctors can use to gauge the health and activity of our “noggin”, but not much more!

In order to BEGIN this road of discovery, we will have to sort out the maze of signals streaming from our minds and separate them into specific areas and functions until we finally discover the magic frequency of audio-visual communication.

Amplitude, frequency, polarity and intensity of those waves are the key factors that will allow us to design a means to make mental telepathy possible.

HOW?

Stem cells are the cells all of us “begin” with at the onset of birth. During the foetus stage, stem cells begin to diversify into specific tissues and later organs - eyes, heart, lungs and the brain. It is absolutely CRUCIAL that we somehow develop a way to monitor from the very first brain cell formation the corresponding electromagnetic radiation - if any - being emitted. This must be followed through in real time right up to “term” or physical birth. Without a doubt, for this to be possible, the term “test tube baby” will have to take on a whole new meaning!

These experiments and studies will have to be undertaken on a large scale - for example in several universities around the world. The “test tube babies” would have to be hooked up to non-invasive devices 24 hours a day for over 9 months. The machinery will be connected to powerful state of the art super-computers with a sub-system connected to all participating universities via the Internet also in real time.

OBJECTIVE:

To filter out the brain waves that have nothing to do with thought, audio and vision, and hone in on the electromagnetic patterns associated with both reception (sensing, hearing and seeing) and transmission (thought, imagination, and speech commands.) Dreams and memory are two complex areas that might interfere, create “noise” that would make the already difficult task almost impossible.

THE THEORY:

a) RECEPTION OF SIGNALS:

The light beams bouncing off the printed words on this page are right now entering your eyeball! Your optic nerve converts these photons into electric pulses that travel up a nerve “cable” into the “vision processing centre” of your brain. If you close your eyes, you partially “shut down” the system, leaving the optic nerve relatively free of signals. Then, if we could transmit electromagnetic signals at the right amplitude, polarity, intensity and frequency, we could DUPLICATE the work of the eye, and send down that “pipeline” images, photos and video! (Just imagine what this could do for the blind or those with poor eyesight!)

The transmission would have to be “focused” in 3 dimensions with precision so that the signal is channelled directly to the optic nerve. If this doesn’t work, this 3D transmission could be focused directly to the vision centre of the brain itself.

The same system would function for audio by focusing the right waves to the nerve leaving the middle ear, or directly to the audio centre in the brain. For the system to work well, it may be necessary to block out sounds entering the ear to prevent outside noise from mixing with the transmitted sounds leaving your “sound centre” buzzing with a cacophony of confusion!

TRANSMISSION:

a) The fine line between thought and the command to utter sounds to communicate would have to be studied and understood. There is probably more “energy” in thoughts converted to “orders” to activate our vocal chords in such a way as to create speech. Ordinary thought waves would be supremely complex, as most people are able to speak, think and watch visual images all at the same time. For transmission purposes, we would not want a device that enables people to “read” our most intimate thoughts. We want to concentrate on the brain signals that are designed to convey our musings to the outside world. Without a doubt, for this to work, a way would have to be found to “capture” only the “thoughts” destined for speech.

cool.gif For the transmission of images we would probably have to concentrate on the visual centre of the brain where it is logical to suppose that visual images captured from the eye to the optic nerve and on to the brain, is also the same place where the REVERSE could happen.

Here the brain can CREATE an image on demand.

An example would be for you to create a mental image right now of your mother. Create another image of your happiest moment...the problem is that in all cases, the images are not “hard copy” and as “fixed” as images being sent to you via the eyes. What I am trying to say is, yes, of course we can create colour images in our mind, but in a general sense, they are “fleeting”, “semi-transparent” and in many cases mixed with other images that overlap due to things we may be thinking of at the same time we are trying to create a mental image of “mother”.

The extraordinarily STRANGE thing is that during DREAMS, our images or “ videos” are tremendously vivid, highly focused, and colourful and often make such an impact that we actually remember some of them. To understand what I mean, do this experiment with yourself. Try to remember a dream you have had that really “sticks in your mind”. The colours, action, people and things are so “real” you almost think that it WAS real! Now try to remember last nights supper. The images you recall probably are recognizable, but not sharp, vivid and “hard copy” so to speak. Most likely yesterday’s memories are at best vague and undefined.

Scans of the brain have shown that some thoughts, images and memories can come from DIFFERENT areas of the brain, making it complicated for a device to “capture” only the “photo/video thoughts” that we want to “transmit” via mental telepathy.

CONCLUSION:

Since the sensory areas of the brain for audio and “video” INPUT are clearly defined and easily studied, they could even be relatively easily employed as receptors for outside sound and vision transmission.

Getting the brain to SEND audio and video would be a very complex and an almost supremely difficult task. I refuse to say “impossible” as even today I cannot predict what new discoveries lie ahead that might make possible tomorrow what today is unthinkable!

For now, I predict that we WILL be able to transmit from conventional audio-video devices - radio, TV, telephone, cameras - and “broadcast” them directly to the appropriate channels in our brain.

How?

The signals from a phone call could travel through the air as it does today - cellular analog or digital. The signals arrive at your “cap” that you wear on your head. The electronics convert the telephone signals into “brain waves” that your mind will understand - send them up the audio nerve to the sound centre of your mind and presto! You can “hear” the phone call or “see” the photo or video.

At the very most, if we could harness the thought patterns that we assign to speech, then we might be able to pick them up with our “cap”, convert them into ordinary telephone digital signals and send them via satellite to someone in Kamchatka!

I like this subject, and even have my own web site for it.

There is a brain state called the alpha condition. In it a person can connect with awareness either in another person or from a body of knowledge. This is not a language, visual, or sound related method of acquiring information. It is much more like a shared experience than an experience descrption method as the previousally stated three forms of communication would suggest.

It is my contention that we are all basically telepathic. We do not consciousally pratice it so it is a very dorment skill. It is not as special as most of us think. The mind set that we have about this is the biggest factor for keeping it dormant.

The reason we do this is because we live in a world that thrives on deception. Some day when we are ready to move on from that way of being we will re-activate our inner awareness skills.
