Hi everyone! My name is Fermin Liu and I would like to share with you a question that has been on my mind a lot lately. In my English class, where we have learned about Transcendentalism and the infinite potential that people can access when they acknowledge the interconnectivity of everything and believe that anything is possible, my teacher has taught us how to meditate. As the definition of meditation goes, it is supposed to be a relaxing activity that allows the practitioner to cleanse his or her mind and thus, feel one with the universe. In feeling connected to everything, we will then know that there are no real physical boundaries and therefore, transcend the physical to a realm of pure energy, which as we call it in class, is the nonlocal domain of essence. Thus, with this brief introduction of essence and the nonlocal and physical domain, my question is this: In this nonlocal domain of energy where we feel that everything is correlated and exchanging and affecting each other in some way, is telepathy - the ability to communicate and read other people's thoughts without any physical means but rather just by thinking - possible? Can people who have connected with essence and quieted their ego-mind - the mind that makes us think that we are all separate individuals in this world with no connection whatsoever and is too focused on its own problems and fear to realize the bigger picture of interconnectivity - read other people's thoughts as perceived energy? Like Ralph Waldo Emerson's idea of the "transparent eyeball", which is the concept that when we feel the interconnectivity of things, we enter a state of energy exchange in which we can see into the insides of other people and they can see into our insides as the transparent eyeballs that we are (the idea of interconnectivity and energy correlation), in his essay "Nature", is it possible to manipulate our own energy waves and that of others through meditating which will thus allow us to read other people's thought? And if telepathy is real, how does it appear in the physical domain? What have been the evidence of this seemingly phenomenal ability that is tangible? Please give good examples with supporting arguments! Thank you! For anyone who is interested in the forum that my English class has created based on the same topics of Transcendentalism, the ego-mind, the Universal Being, etc., please feel free to visit the following website and to comment on anything and everything: http://transparency.phpbb9.com/
The universe is mental - when we are able to let go of our egos, our earthly trappings and truly listen to the universal mind, telepathy is absolutely possible and happens to some of us whether we want it to or not!
There is a place or thing called the Akashic Record where all thoughts and actions are recorded. Certainly it is possible for anyone to access it. A lot of people talk about the Matrix, Zero Point field, Quantum field, etc. where they can access the past and probable future. Thoughts are just as powerful in shaping our reality as our actions. I'm not sure that thoughts are manifest in the physical domain, only the fruits of thoughts. For instance, we could manifest some thing or situation by thinking about it, but the thought itself isn't tangible here as far as I know. It most definitely can be discerned, but how that is done appears to be outside the domain perceived by our normal senses.
Great work, guys, in talking about telepathy and the Collective Unconsciousness! Since we have all pretty much agreed that telepathy is real, here's the next question: How to we gain access to telepathy? How do we use our essence to read other people's essence? Have fun and think hard! I'm looking forward to a lot of great insights from you guys!
Hi Fermin, Your teacher might be confused or suffer from a lack of knowledge due to the pseudo-science pervading transcendental meditation. In the 70s TM followers claimed to be able to levitate... They never were able to provide any proof, of course. What you are referring to is an internal interconnectedness which may seem to be a collective (un)consciousness. It's not, but when you connect to your own human nature you may feel like you are connected to everything, such as other people's thoughts. In a way you are connected, because you are able to more keenly sense their body language and tune in to the nature of their facial expressions, tone of voice etc. And of course, we are interconnected like never before in human history, such as here in this digital forum. Nothing magical about this, though. Perhaps you would find this article on compassion useful (below). Compassion is love in action, and it's the most interconnecting quality in humans. Compassion is an exceptionally powerful motivator that might awaken a giant within, which in part, is so large because it seems to connect you with everyone and everything around you. What actually happens is that compassion causes your brain cells to become interconnected and highly active - they co-operate, wire and fire together (electrical impulses, releasing chemicals). Do not confuse it with external magical abilities. This is science, and it is fascinating: http://www.meditation-techniques-for-happiness.com/meditation-happiness.html This article puts science and compassion in a 3 billion-year perspective... http://www.meditation-techniques-for-happiness.com/how-to-stay-happy.html Finally, I'd like to say that distress, interacting with anger and fear (the fight-or-flight response), produces the exact opposite effects of happiness/compassion and interconnectedness - depression and isolation. You can read the full story here: http://www.meditation-techniques-for-happiness.com/the-science-of-compassion.html Stick with science and this site, and you will fully understand meditation, happiness, evolution and human history. Meditation means awareness, my mission is to contribute to the great awakening, which will impose itself on our interconnected minds and consciousnesses when global warming pulls our awareness back into external nature, our own human nature, and away from our human-designed, digital societies and unnatural habitats. Nothing mystical here, just history and evolution coming together. Compassion is the key to your health and happiness, the health/happiness of a marriage, a family, and a world coping with massive change.
