Telepathy can be simply defined as mental transmission of thoughts or image directly to or from the mind of others over a distance without the use of words and the five senses: the touch, the sight, the taste, the smell, and the hearing.

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.

Telepathy is strongly believed by anthropologists to have been in use still in some primitive tribes today as the native people communicate with each other. Most people need to undergo some kind of telepathy training to relearn these dormant skills.

Since some people, even animals, can successfully use telepathy, it must mean that this is something which is really natural to each of us. Although not all of us can develop the ability to learn the language of telepathy, we should still recognize that some of us can correctly use the powers of mental telepathy, just like how we understand little kids when they are trying to learn to speak.

So knowing this, we have to believe that most of humanity has simply lost their ability to connect with the telepathy that the mind has an available. It should be as easy as the way to respond to music and your other five senses.

�Sixth sense� and �third eye� are usually associated to telepathy but these two are not actually the same in power and meaning, yet the telepathic powers of human beings and animals come from those two natural senses.

There are times we feel that someone is staring at us which may be true most of the time, or we feel strange feelings about the persons closest to us which also come out true at times. Some people even get a feeling that something is going to happen or that someone would call or visit all of a sudden after being thought of. As it may be common to mothers to feel strange when her child is in danger, it may be common to other persons as well. These are the simple forms of telepathy.

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.

Due to these older religions and the shame it brought to telepathy, only few people gained knowledge of it. It was so hard for most people to put faith in their own abilities as human beings.

Do you ever wonder why this is so? A lot of it has to do with the powerful leaders of each religion. While we will say that there are true religious leaders, there are some out there that don’t want anyone else to have the power. Think of it as someone challenging you in your workplace. Do you want to acknowledge that they know more than you do? Of course not, which is why some religious officials do the same thing.

Another problem modern day man has with telepathy is that telepathy can not easily be studied by traditional science. Most scientists have the thoughts that if it is not something that can be studied or tore apart and put back together that it can not be a true ability. Some scientists do agree that instinct does exist within humans and the animal kingdom however.

What is questionable with the science is that, scientists accept and adhere to the fact that people and animals have emotions and instinct since they themselves feel these feelings as well making them convinced that these things exist. But these are in fact more mysterious and hard to define than telepathy.

Maybe it’s just jealousy on their part. After all, most individuals hate it when something can’t be explained, yet someone else can do it. When a phenomenon like telepathy comes along, it’s much easier to tell us it’s an instinctive response as opposed to an extraordinary power of the mind.

This mystery may never be solved, but there are definitely different scenarios that could be true. Another version dates back to biblical times when the Tower of Babylon story came around. Even though the languages were brought about to migrate people, it could be the same for telepathy. Hopefully some day we’ll get a definitive answer.
