Telepathy - What is it?

What is telepathy?

Is it kind of a mental exchange of dialogues? I used to think so, but some of the recent experiences have made me think more on this and here are my notes on it.

To understand telepathy, we must first know what it is not.

The popular belief, (or may I now call it the myth), about telepathy is that it is the ability to transfer a thought from one mind to another ( or several) minds. Well, not really. Thoughts are not objects that can be transferred from one to another. Thoughts are not things to be handed over from one to the other. Telepathy is not something like a brain based email system that sends messages from one point to another. No, telepathy is not about transfer of ideas and thoughts. Telepathy, as I have experienced, is not a mental communication.

It, to me, is like presence of a medium, an indefinable medium which may not have a shape, size, extent or measurements. It does not have a two way communication system kind of a thing. Rather, think of it like a cloud of thoughts, which a mind can enter, and feel the floating thoughts in that medium. It is kind of a mental space outside the mind, where thoughts float freely and are available to anyone and everyone whose mind is activated or trained to feel them.

Thoughts remain in this space, this medium forever. They are immortal. That explains that we sometimes go through some mental experiences ( illusions, visions, etc etc), that we have never seen or been through in our physical lives. Those thoughts float free in the space and effect us almost all the times. The stronger the thoughts, the easier they are to be felt. These thoughts have been there since ages, I guess ever since mind existed. We feel things that we have never known of. We experience them though those thoughts floating in the mental space.

Telepathy, to me, is the ability to understand these thoughts, floating freely in the medium. Telepathy is like a mental vision, that enables a mind to feel thoughts floating around the mind. Telepathy is our link to immortal thoughts of people from the past, and thoughts of people today.
