I have done some readings on telepathy, many accounts and have to some degree found out what is possible or not. It all seems to point in one direction, anything is possible. In theory can two people "talk" to each other, no matter how far the distance is between those. What is strange is that you may hear what they other person is trying to say to you as if the person was standing in the same room. But other people in the room will not be able to hear it. If you ask me, this must be the ultimate cell phone. No weight, no battery, no dialing, no waiting and no busy, no out of range and no cost. This is based on reported incidents that people have had. But not many, if any, have been able to control this wonderful gift we all have. It would take _a lot_ of practice or some new technique/technology. The it doesn't stop with sound. One report that I know of also show that you can have visual communication. Like a TV appearing in the wall infront of you. But that is extremely rare, and must be very difficult to control. So there are no limits when it comes to telepathy, only your imagination sets the limits as to what is possible. I guess the future will find some way to utilize this wonderful ability. Out of body experiences is one way of practicing, you might start making use of the gift when you are getting old, or maybe in your next life. Well, that was todays peak into the future...

You may like the following story (no, I have no source reference): A sociologist goes to some island where there are natives (who have already had extensive contact with civilisation). There he sees how one of them goes to a tree and talks with an distant relative. After he is finished the sociologist asks: Why to you talk with an tree? The native answers: because I am poor and can not afford to pay to use an telephone. But yes, I would like such telepathy-phone. And telepathy-network for computers (that would make an great Internet, no phone companies). -- Neil Franklin, Nerd, Geek, Unix Guru, Hacker, Mystic neil@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ "No, it was a JOKE!

(I think you are only using about 9 calories per hour when sleeping) Not any of the reports of hearing thoughts showed any notifiable energy use Think you are max using milliwatt.... So the energy use isn't a problem... But I think you are right about it being easier to call someone up. Like I don't have a clue how to make telepathic contact with someone, but I don't know how to call someone...

But difficult, maybe it is possible to program your subconscious to take such calls... :) Another problem is that you will think that someone in the room are actually talking to you, when it is only the telepathic phone. Maybe each call should start with a special sound to let you know that it is a telepathic phonecall....

Chick... I suppose that is your religion teacher's friend? Well, nice to know that some tribes may be using this ability.... Lars P.S. I have come to the conclusion that I kind of like the military, the last two days have I been on the internet while "working" and after work until about 9:30 pm. "The problem" is that there is nothing to do as a computer backup. I usually get jobs that are done in 30 minutes, but that is all. So the result is that I sit around here 13 hours a day surfing the web. This would be quite expensive if I did this at home. (That I normally did last summer...) My primal concern when entering the military was: Will I have access to the internet? You bet! :-) I have so much time on the internet that I have started on my projects again. I copied a game yesterday, Rainbow Six, great sniper and multiplayer game. Cost me three bucks.. http://www.redstorm.com/rainbow_six Well, we will get some RAM soon, so it might take an hour or two.... ###### Message-ID: <366EE270.1510BB16@the.end.of.the.message> Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 07:49:52 +1100 From: Craig Organization: Deja Vous X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 Newsgroups: alt.dreams.lucid,alt.out-of-body Subject: Re: In the future will cellphones be obsolete...

Like sometimes ppl will pick up a call from a cordless phone across the street. So what if you are just sitting there and you get a little peice of a call...and if these calls are sposed to sound like someone is in the room with you...then that could get scary. And what if these things replace cb's and you start picking up nasty truckers...saying who knows what. And then what about prank calls. I mean people could just pop into your head and say whatever.....could get scary :P Breanna ###### Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!usenet From: Neil Franklin Newsgroups: alt.dreams.lucid,alt.out-of-body Subject: Re: In the future will cellphones be obsolete...

I would expect this to more like the "party effect". There are many discussions going on and you simply hear the one you are focused on ("tuned in to"). Every so often a fragment from an other discussion distracts you and you go and focus on that one, or you ignore it and focus more one the ongoing one. > and if these calls are sposed to sound like someone is in the room with > you... Unlikely to sound like in the same room. You can separate voices at an party by tone, direction and intensity. I would assume such telepath- phone to be similar. > then that could get scary. And what if these things replace cb's and you > start picking up nasty truckers...saying who knows what. You would learn what the real world is like, what people really do and think, not your present illusion. The end of living with blinkers. Digesting that will contribute to your mental growth, or destroy you if you are not flexible enough to rearrange your beliefs. > And then what about prank calls. No worse than prank Mails or Usenet messages. Telepath-spammers could be an annoyence, but OTOH the threat of immediate worldwide humiliation when everyone sees their greedy thoughts may prevent that. Immediate worldwide loss of face. > I mean people could just pop into your head and say whatever..... So you fear words?

So many of these Sci-fi books are based on fact, and mixed with peoples perceptions of the future. Look at Arthur C.
