metaphysical basis of telepathy |
Jhrool telepathically asks Ben Cypress Joy
Ben, you say that the human race is approaching an awakening, in which the global consciousness becomes self-aware. I can see this coming, but I am confused about some aspects of the process.
While I understand the nature of group minds, (being one myself), I have not been able to figure out the means by which the individual minds communicate. I use telepathy as a natural ability, but I do not understand its physical basis. The individual units in my being are connected by a transluminal link we have not yet been able to detect. Are human minds connected in the same way? What is the nature of the link?
Ben Cypress Joy says
Natural telepathy and its cousins, telempathy and telesthesia, operate in a plane of reality that is parallel to the physical plane. The two planes interpenetrate and are in contact at every point. The second plane, which we might call the astral, is the dimension in which experience occurs. When you feel something, that feeling happens in the astral plane. Thoughts, physical sensation, and emotions are all colorings of the aether of the astral plane.
The level of nonlocality in the astral is much higher than in the physical, and as a result there is much greater correlation between spatial phenomena. Ideas and sensory experiences are fluidlike substances in the astral plane, able to take on many forms and colors. The human astral body is made of this fluid, as are the connections between Jhrool's mind-units.
Telepathy, telempathy, and telesthesia all happen when the natural boundaries we build are temporarily dissolved, allowing what is within to mix with the infinite sea. Meditation can encourage this to happen. To a greater or lesser degree, the form of the meditator's astral body is relaxed and its boundaries blur.
When one is a separate consciousness, there is a literal barrier of astral fluid that creates a physical wall around the body, separating it from the infinite field outside.
That is why the humans in this time are so lonely.
