Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses. It's an instinct which can be
woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by
instinct, we're using resources within the unconscious (无意识的) mind. When the resources of two persons'
unconscious minds link together into the same frequency (频率), we call it telepathy.
We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone,
you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better
at sending.
You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact (联系)
you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than
would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try 'feeling' who is contacting you. Don't guess,
but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these works for you, that doesn't mean that you have
no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find
that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other's unconscious mind.
Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link
up to the other's mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand
the other's mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate.
A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child's eagerly wanting his or her
mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother's deep
desire to protect her child from harm.
