Telepathy


The phenomenon of telepathy 
by Jimmy Henderson 

According to the world famous psychologist Carl Jung we are all connected at a deep subconscious level of the mind, which he called the 'collective unconscious'. This interconnectedness of all minds can explain various phenomena such as telepathy and absent healing, as the mental barriers separating individuals do not exist at these very deep levels. The normal boundaries of consciousness are created by each person’s subconscious mind as a protective mechanism to prevent a sensory overload, as one can well imagine what it would be like to continuously hear the thoughts of others, even when not present. 

However, whilst in a subjective meditative state, one is able to bypass these mechanisms, allowing the extension and projection of both consciousness and intent. In this way, thoughts, messages, feelings or even uplifting, healing or harmonious energies can be communicated  between persons. 

Normally , if one wishes to connect to another sentient being via his or her subconscious, it is necessary to first enter a very subjective altered state such as meditation, allowing one's own subconscious mind to open. 

Second, it is necessary to set a suitable intention and formulate an image of the person in the mind from memory or by focusing on a photograph. One can also simply state his or her name or that of a third-party family member or friend who has a prior relationship with this person. This allows one to 'dial up' the correct 'psychic address' of the person.   

Finally, one has to wait for a connection to be established, which can be felt either intuitively, or using a gesture such as the raised palm of the right hand. A connection will be felt as a slight bump or pressure on the palm. Once this connection has been established, one simply has to state the message simply and clearly, or else enter a state of reflective listening to detect any impressions or words which will impose on the mind similar to a daydream. 

This phenomenon of telepathy and the conditions required for it are best illustrated by a case study in which I was personally involved.

This was rather an amusing incident that took place a few years ago when I had given a short talk on my recently published book at a local bookshop. I had just finished my talk, when clear as a bell, I picked up a female voice in my mind and the words ‘sounds like a lot of work!!’  I immediately glanced in front of me and saw a young woman looking down. At that time I got the distinct impression that it was her thoughts into which I had inadvertently tuned, but being concerned that a verbal reply may disturb her, I did not respond at all.  

What is interesting about this case is that the telepathic contact took place spontaneously, without my setting an intention or any obvious change in my state of mind. I do, however, recall that at the time, my mind was quite clear and unencumbered, and I could very well have momentarily entered a receptive state of mind. The fact that I was in the woman’s immediate vicinity could also have played a role, as she obviously had the book and its author in mind when she entertained that thought.

This suggests that we are continually faced with a barrage of the thoughts of others, which could flood and overcome our sensory processes if it were not for the protective barriers imposed by selective perception and attention. However, as in the case of someone hearing  his or her name in a noisy crowded room, we can become aware of a message which has personal relevance, in this case, a comment on my book. However, in most cases such communications are simply ignored or drowned out by the cacophony of the thinking mind.

Accessing hidden dimensions of the mind

Accessing hidden dimensions of the mind 
By Jimmy Henderson 
Hons(philosophy) MA (psychology) FRC

Accessing deeper levels or dimensions of mind requires an altered state such as meditation or a very relaxed imagination in which one’s consciousness extends beyond its normal regulated boundaries. This can result in colourful and enigmatic new vistas of reality being spontaneously presented, a state in which perceptions become extremely fluid, flowing and malleable. Within this subliminal state, the power of thought and mental creation is greatly enhanced and any visual scenario imaginable can be created merely by exercising the intention to do so.

This enhanced level of mental creation also allows one to introduce ‘portals’ or other gateways with the intention that these will lead to other regions of Mind often called ‘dimensions’, ‘realms’ or ‘levels’. However, these are merely categories imposed by the human mind, which is unable to view the 'collective unconscious' in its entireity.

This ability to pass through visualised doorways, stairways and chambers could be compared to a three-dimensional virtual-reality game, similar to those played on computers, in which one seeks access to higher levels by searching for keys or entrances. In accordance with the laws of mental imagery, any such virtual enactments and actions, such as climbing a fight of stairs would be accepted by the unconscious as real, and activate a corresponding heightening of consciousness with subsequent changes in perception and inner experience. This metaphor of a computer game is quite appropriate to describe one’s experiences within the inner reaches of the mind, in which dreamlike scenarios can form spontaneously and become quite detailed and complex, similar to those experienced during lucid dreaming.

While actively moving about within one's subconscious mind using self-created pathways and openings, its content and shifting energies will appear as a series of ever-changing scenarios, very much like a lucid dream. However, in this case, one is actually fully controlling the interactions. The images and scenarios are being created from one’s own storehouse of memories and subliminal schemas with visual content, which are ultimately all assembled from one’s past experiences. If one has mastered the art of spontaneous imagery and has the co-operation of one's subconscious mind, the setting will remain reasonably stable throughout the entire process.

Although the images seem very real, they are actually being constructed in our minds using the mental processes of imagery and symbolic interpretation as discussed earlier, and are therefore only representations of what is actually taking place. In fact, all inner visual experiences, as well as one’s present view and perceptions of the world, are assembled in this way. For example, as explained earlier, these other ‘dimensions’ are not really separate realities but rather shifts taking place in the human consciousness which permits different views of the content of the collective unconscious.


Once again, a word of warning, the use of such advanced visualization techniques needs to be balanced with regular times of grounded activity, as they demand high levels of psychological and emotional stability and wellness. If one spends too much time in these mental creations,  the mind could begin to accept this as reality and one could become lost in self-created illusions.
