Do you think that technology is encouraging telepathy?

[Expertspy895]

Interesting view. I was born very sensitive or maybe I was this way because I spend so much time alone. But I closed down years ago & then things started happening that caused me to get back connected so while I did not use technolody I can see how this experience could be for that...In the 2nd Q, do you mean WE or as an individual..I can speak for myself. I evolved for my own convenience but I also can see how it happens out of necessity.

It may encourage it but in actuallity it is holding it back.
Not so long ago there was no other true way to communicate with another other than letters or face to face. When we interact with others it stimulates the pathways in the brain to recognize certain body features, movements, eye movement, certain voice patterns, certain thought patterns, and even electrical impluses by others such as a hug or hand shake. We are losing the natural way of communicating which in turn, causes us to only form understandings of verbal or written thought and not knowing what the other person looks like, smells like, sounds like, or what their environment is like. It takes away all that when we use too much technology. I can post a picture of myself in a nice blouse and jeans. You see the picture as with me smiling and in those colors. When you actually meet me and speak with me, your idea of how I would be, act, or react to similar situations or interactions that I have communicated via the internet, phone, or letter form, is not the same. You may become confused and not want to be as open with me. Why? Because, due to the technology we have today it motivates people to be less interactive with others on a one on one basis. Using the "cold interface" is much easier and keeps others from seeing your "true" self which helps us with coping in stressful or embarassing situations. We use these things to block out the real world so that we may focus on the "virtual" world and withdrawal our physical selves from the human equation.
Since I possess some of the "abilities" in a mild form, I attribute it to my interaction with others. I am not a psychiastrist or mental health professional I am more of an observer and due to repeated actions and emotions I have read from being with others I can some how see how someone will react or interact based on my knowledge. BUT, there is that BUT, lol, there are inherent instincts such as the flight or fight response that we sometimes will feel without even seeing the action taking place. Sort of like a "spidey" sense, if you will. We can feel the energy change in a room without actually being able to see or hear from where the trouble may come from but you can tell something is about to happen. Why? Animal instincts are still prevelant in our make up. I can tell when a phone is going to ring, I can feel if someone is about to come over, I can tell if someone is going to be sick with in 24 hrs, I can feel when my children are upset or sad even when I am not around them. I know when things have happened or will happen before they happen. It is strange, yes, but we all have it but due to technology and the influence of being "connected" 24/7 without leaving the comfort of our home has actually dulled our senses and keeps us from actually developing the other parts of our brain that are never used. Activity, interaction with others, and reading will increase your brain power and knowledge base 10x faster than me typing to you and you reading this message. Will you know the real me? Maybe not. If you physically met me would it increase your knowledge of how othes think and react? Yes. Would you develop psychic powers due to it, probably not. These kinds of interactions and synapses must be encouraged at and early age. This means limited television and chatting on the net. Physical interaction with others of differing backgrounds and cultures. Routine exercise and a healthy diet. Laughter and crying helps as well. Teaching children empathy and patience. These are just a few factors that will help others and yourself to develope beyond what the people of the internet and technology companies would like you to think is possible.
Blessed be

Have you ever known anyone or worked with anybody who couldn't talk? I worked with cerebral palsy adults...some who couldn't talk. I spent a lot of my time trying to figure out what they were trying to save. Gave me a head ache and just about drove me nuts.
I think there is telepathy going on here.... especially with people I know on My Space Yovlle. We say the same things at the same time. I know others will say that it's just because we know each other so well...but some I don't know well and we do it. The ones I'm close to... we have some kind of telepathic bond. Makes us laugh.

You may have a thought there. It does seem plausible that this level of technology has stimulated some latent psi abilities in the public at large. However I think that it is just as likely that telepathy has encouraged technology. There is a group mind that happens to all societies and this may very well be one of the deciding factor to this boom of technology. ~M~

Only in that it opens the world up to new ideas. 50 years ago
many things that are commonly talked about today were scarce
heard. People started talking about reincarnation and karma
in the US about 50 Years ago. Many subjects we openly discuss
today, even though we may not accept fully them, were unknowns
about a half century ago.
35 years ago the book "A Course In Miracles was published".
It has opened us to a whole new dimension of thinking. One of the
many new ideas it presents is "there are no private thoughts".
We are all connected in a spiritual way and can communicate
our thoughts. But.... we have not given ourselves permission.
