Telepathic Humans - Just A Myth?

July 8th, 2009 12:11 pm

When we say an individual is ‘telepathic’ what is it that we really mean by this? The idea is usually considered science fiction or mysticism and is just dismissed by most people. But think of what science has made possible. Everyday we live with cell phones, computers and use of invisible radio and micro waves which retrieve the information we need. Hundreds of jets (controlled by computers) take off and land everyday world wide.

Advanced technology and magic to a primitive culture are said to be indistinguishable from one another. Technology and science have been used to learn about the world around us. And things we have accomplished in recent history was called impossible in the early 1900s. Flights to the moon, moon walks by astronauts and exploration of the oceans which were too deep to be explored before. The use of natural energy from the sun, wind and water to produce energy, has been accomplished with technology which has only been around a short time.

Is it then really too much of a stretch to accept the possibility of telepathic people? An individual who developed these mental properties would just be misunderstood by most people.

Investigation, by scientists, of people who are telepathic, is called parapsychology or paraphysics. Even those who investigate this use scientific methods and experiments to get answers to questions on telepathy regardless of what the answer may be or whether its the answer they are looking for.

Telepathic individuals and who are subjects of these experiments, produced results completely tantalizing and less than desired to be proven scientifically. To do this you must have results that are consistent, measurable and repeatable. However, scientific investigation is not perfect. Although the results have been inconsistent and not always able to be duplicated does not in itself prove that individuals are not Telepathic. It only really proves we have lots to learn and a need for more advanced procedures to be developed for testing for telepathy.

But how could humans really be Telepathic? How can people communicate without the use of their five senses, using only thought alone? The obvious answer is through some means that we can’t hear, see, smell, taste, or touch, but that exists nonetheless. On the one hand, humans can already do this artificially using communication technology. Radio waves can’t be observed with our five senses, but they definitely exist.

There is a new concept being discussed which is the idea of ‘Thought waves’. These are defined as an electrical and magnetic fiend generated by the brain and these have been proven to exist. This is the keystone that scientific Telepathic studies rest on. We’ll try to explain it in layman’s terms, but it may get a little complicated, so just bear with us.

Scientifically, human thought is just a biochemical process of neurons being transferred between different synapses in the brain. However, this transfer of neurons creates an electrical current. Tiny, sure, but measurable. This electrical current also generates a tiny magnetic field. Keep in mind the brain has tens of thousands of synapses firing at any one time.

Is it possible for these bio-electric and bio-magnetic fields to be used by humans to communicate? Are these waves just meaningless static or do they have content equivalent of the brain? Can these brain waves be controlled by mental training? Can the techniques of meditation be used to shape brain waves into communications of significance?

Another problem is the weakness of the electrical or magnetic field. It can easily be drowned out by the electrical and magnetic fields of everyday technology i.e stereos, televisions, computers, even microwaves and refrigerators all send out much larger electrical and magnetic fields.

Is there any way the electrical and magnetic fields of the human brain can be boosted? Perhaps. Sometimes for example, during a heightened emotional state (such as pain, shock, fear, or feeling endangered), more neural synapses fire simultaneously, temporarily creating a spike in bio-electrical and bio-magnetic brain waves.

Researchers of parapsychology have documented brief instances of Telepathic communication during such moments. A mother knowing instantly that their child has been hurt, for example, even though they are miles away. Is there a link between such brain chemistry activity spikes and instances of telepathic communication? Does the fact that the two people are genetically related play a role? Or is it all just a coincidence?

Too little scientific evidence exists to prove, without a doubt, telepathy is factual. However, this is gradually changing. More and more studies are being conducted and show humans are telepathic and with proper instruction and training can develop this ability.
