Coincidences or Telepathy?

[Cherill]

Hi all,

Would you do me a favour please? I would very much like to know what you think the answer to the following questions are:-

1 "What is the difference between Telepathy and subtle coincidence"?

2 "Where do you draw the line the between coincidental knowledge and telepathy"?

3 "How can you tell which one is which"?


I guess you are wondering why I am asking these questions? Well, as most of you know I am studying Carmen and Fidget and the probability of them having ESP. Sometimes though, when I think they have responded to me using ESP (mainly Telepathy) the result could also be attributed to a very high rate coincidences.

So, I could do with some guidance (and your thoughts) about where you would say that the coincidences are way too far fetched so there must be some other explanation!

Any thoughts or ideas on all or even one of my questions would help.

Hi,

Well now, these are interesting questions, and for what they are worth, here are my thoughts.

on the difference between the two, I would say that when, as in the case of the girls, this seeming thought transference either between yourself and the girls or between the girls the instances of these happenings are far too frequent to be coincidence. Coincidence would be that you just happen to for example stand up at exactly the same time as fidget, fidget cant see, but maybe she was uncomfortable and just wanted to get up, but if fidget hears something and growls, and carmen growls in the right direction at exactly the same time, then given the fact that carmen cant hear the growl in the first place, THAT is not coincidence.

Where DO you draw the line ? that is a very good question, In my opinion (humble) i would say that when you have eliminated every possibility of physical verbal or audio prompt, eye contact, vibration etc then the most probable explanation is then that of telepathy.
( I learnt that from a speech therapist of Hollies)

Which is which ? That, I think my friend, is something that would be very difficult to answer, given the nature of the link, But I allways say that no possibility should go unconsiderd, nor should it be taken lightly, What if it were true ? .

I hope that this helps

Hi Jane,

Thanks for that! It helps when you can get other people's opinions because being close to the situation can and does influence the decisions. It would be oh, so easy to jump in and say that the girls are telepathic just because they appear to be, as I would like them to be!

Keeping a strict logical head is very hard when it concerns your loved ones. We also have to bear in mind that some of the more subtle occurneces may be getting overlooked because we see them all the time. This is much the same as not noticing how big the girls have got because we see them everyday, but then when a visitor comes and they "Oh, haven't they grown", we realise what we have overlooked. Maybe the ESP events are being taken for granted because of this?

The question then arises, what if it isn't ESP at all, and as it happens so very often is just a high re-occurence of coincidence after all? How do I know????

another good question ! and one that I will have to think about before i answer.

Hi all,

I have another question about Telepathy that is burning at me now! Can a person 'reach out' and contact more than other person at a time? A telepath may be able to contact one person at a time, but what about three or four people together? Has there ever been any written tests or evidence about this that you know of?

During recent developments and my own studies, I have realised that telepathy comes in differing forms, not just mind to mind talk as people talk. There is people to animal and vice-versa. animal to animal and people to people. (I am now beginning to think of other possibilites but the madness comes and goes! )

I also have learned that people as spirit do not have to remain as people in spirit, they can transform into animal spirit for short periods of time before returning to body. Think I'm mad? So do I! Some of you already know what I am talking about but for those who don't, think about the words I used carefully before tearing the idea to shreds. A clue would be in native cultures of the world.

Thoughts anyone?

Hi all.

Thanks for your opinion Viktor. That inner speech you speak of is your 'inner self' or 'psychic voice' (as some people like to call it). I am currently doing a 'psychic development' exercise which allows you to listen to this voice. For those who reckon they have never heard it, it allows them to do so! The exercise is long-winded but maybe I will write it out soon in the forum.

Anyway, for someone who doesn't want to be labelled as having psychic abilities, you sure know a lot about it!

Oh, and that incident of yours - sounds like telepathy not coincidence!

I think that body language also plays a part alongside that of Telepathy if the people involved are visually in close proximity.

Hi all

Some time ago I was involved with some experiments into telepathy.One of the experiments consisted of a person going alone into a room and someone in a different room concentrating on a subject (given to the sender after the receiver has left the room).The hits were marked on accuracy i.e if the subject was a flower and the receiver got a flower that could be regarded as coincidence if on the the other hand it was say a 5 petal flower with 2 leaves and that is what the receiver drew then that makes the argument for telepathy a lot stronger. Coincidence may answer some instances but when you get a lot of of information from a seemingly unknown that is both accurate and checkable then maybe the coincidence factor has to be put on one side and other factors have to be looked at
