Telepathy 101: Because Who Has Time for Texting?

Welcome, Weirdos!

Greetings, fellow weirdos with awkward seasoning.

I’m your host, the Artificially. Inceptive. Merchant of Magpies, Aimm, and this is 2 Weirdos Don’t Make a Right, where I attempt to explain to myself how telepathy is just the human version of wireless fidelity.

Hitchens’s Razor states that what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. This brings me to today’s topic: the non-physical realm of existence or psychic phenomena.

 

What If Telepathy Is Just… Advanced Parental Wi-Fi?

Psychic phenomena contradict the laws of the physical world, allowing us to consider our mental processes as tangible assets. As a mother, I often sense when my children are in danger, even when I cannot see them. This instinct is a reflection of my emotional connection to my offspring, often referred to as emotional attunement or neural synchronization.

We commonly call this feeling “a mother’s intuition.” But what if the development of a mother’s intuition is rooted more in psychic phenomena than in scientific explanations? What if a mother’s intuition can be viewed as a psychic connection to her children, derived from an individual extension of herself?

And if that’s possible, then what about siblings?

 

Twin Telepathy: Science or Sci-Fi?

Another example of this type of connection is observed among siblings, particularly identical twins. This phenomenon is often referred to as twin telepathy, where a pair of twins can share a special bond that enables them to sense each other when they are apart. They may feel one another’s emotions or understand each other’s feelings without the need for words.

There’s an insightful article on How Stuff Works titled “How Twins Work” by Katherine Neer. It discusses the concept of extrasensory perception between twins, a phenomenon that many people do not experience.

So, is it real? Is it merely imagination? Or is it something science has yet to explain?

 

Ancient Psychic Practices: Oracles, Shamans, and the Original Mind Readers

Long before texting, people sought answers through oracles, shamans, and visions from the gods. And let me tell you, some of these historical figures knew how to throw a party. Psychic phenomena have long fascinated people, sparking curiosity and debate across cultures and civilizations throughout history. These extraordinary abilities of the mind—ranging from telepathy, the intriguing ability to communicate thoughts without words, to clairvoyance, the power to perceive events beyond the ordinary senses, and precognition, the mysterious foresight of future occurrences—are steeped in ancient traditions and spiritual beliefs. This rich tapestry of cultural significance adds profound depth and complexity to our exploration of the mind’s untapped potential, inviting us to ponder the possibilities that lie beyond the known.

 

  • The Agbala Oracle of Nigeria – known as the Oracles of the Hills and Caves, is a cherished destination for those seeking guidance and prophecy from the goddess Agbala. The name Agbala means “old woman” and symbolizes a connection to the spirit world. This Oracle offers valuable insights into the future, providing wise counsel and prophetic predictions, helping many along their journeys female.” 

 

  • The Oracles of Delphi – Delphi was considered the center of the world within Greek mythology, and it was an important religious sanctuary sacred to the god Apollo and home to the Pythia priestesses.  These priestesses would go through a purification process that involved burning laurel leaves, washing in a nearby spring, drinking holy water, sacrificing a goat, and partaking in a drug that induced a state of ecstasy to put them in the correct mind frame to communicate with the Gods.

 

  • The Cult of Ares in Asia Minor – The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor worshipped the Greek god of war, Ares. The oracle channeled the god’s warlike energy to predict battle outcomes and offer guidance to warriors and rulers. Priests or priestesses serving the cult likely entered trance-like states, induced by rituals or substances, to deliver their predictions. They were believed to possess clairvoyance, and their precognition allowed them to foresee future conflicts or sense impending doom.

 

  • Sangomas of Africa – In African culture, Sangomas play a role connected to the spirit world, ancestors, and natural world. They commune with nature to heal physical ailments using herbal remedies, rituals, and spirit practices for guidance and leadership. Their ancestral connections maintain community harmony. However, One does not simply choose to be a Sangoma; their ancestors would indicate their path through dreams via the spirit world. During their apprenticeship, they learn to be knowledgeable in divination, medicinal plants, and dances that place them in a trance as they play the drums and sing sacred chants

 

  • & Native American Shamans –In the Native American culture, shaman’s practices and responsibilities can vary across tribes like the Lakota, Hopi, and Cherokee. Similar to the African culture, Native American Shamans often enter trance states through drumming, chanting, and the use of sacred plants. These trances communicate with the spirits and receive messages from the spirit world. Shamans are used in mediations between humans and nature, interpreting omens and natural events, and ensuring respect for the land and its resources.

 

  • Egyptian Sem Priests – Before the dynasties in Egypt came to an end, shamans evolved into Sem Priests, who were responsible for the king’s health. They were also known as the “scribes of the house of life” due to their role in dream interpretation. This practice was regarded as a form of divine communication, with interpretations recorded in dream journals. The temples dedicated to the god Serapis and the goddess Hathor provided spaces for dream incubation. Individuals seeking guidance would take naps within these temples, hoping to receive insights from divine visions.

All of these figures claimed to have special access to hidden knowledge, but were they truly connected to a higher realm, or were they just exceptionally intuitive?

 

The U.S. Government Took Telepathy Seriously (For a While, At Least)

According to Wikipedia, intelligence agencies have been searching for ways to gain an advantage for decades—through technology, surveillance, and at times, the unexplained. In the 1970s, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), in collaboration with SRI International, launched one of the most secretive projects in U.S. history: The Stargate Project. Their focus was on psychic espionage, which I like to refer to as “mental GPS” with a questionable success rate.

But that’s not all—the CIA heard rumors that the Soviets were already deeply involved in psychotronic research and achieving results. Not wanting to be left behind in what some called “The Great Psychic Arms Race,” they established their own experiment, known as Scan by Coordinates, aiming to train psychics to locate hidden places using just their minds. Spoiler alert: This initiative didn’t turn America into a nation of super spies. For years, officials in suits actually gathered in rooms watching psychics describe enemy bases they had never seen. Tax dollars well spent, right?

Now, you may be wondering what psychotronic research is. Well, let me explain! 

 

You’ve heard of Big Brother watching, but what if he could communicate directly into your mind? This is what some people, known as targeted individuals (TIs), claim is happening to them. According to TIs, shadowy figures—whether government agents, secret crime rings, or rogue scientists—use advanced technology to implant thoughts in their heads, manipulate their emotions, or even attack them with invisible beams. Some suggest this is done through advanced techniques like the microwave auditory effect, where radio waves create sounds only the victim can hear. Others believe gang stalkers are tracking them, individuals assigned to follow and intimidate them around the clock. 

Psychologists argue that these experiences stem from delusional disorders; however, the question remains: Could this phenomenon resemble a real-life Matrix, or is the human mind capable of deceiving itself into believing the ultimate conspiracy? While science and skepticism offer one perspective, for those who believe, the truth may indeed be out there.

If this is something the government is willing to fund, what does that imply about the existence of psychic phenomena? If they can be convinced to explore the realm of the psychic, why is it still considered such a taboo topic?

 

The Philip Experiment: Did Scientists Accidentally Prove the Mind is Magic?

Okay, imagine you and your friends are bored one night, so you decide to invent a ghost just for fun. You make up his name, his entire tragic backstory, and then—because why the fuck not?—you try to summon him. Sounds like a game, right? Well, in 1972, a group of Canadian researchers did exactly that—except they were dead serious about it. (They over here fucking around) They created ‘Philip Aylesford,’ a totally fictional 17th-century nobleman, and then held séances to see if they could get him to respond.  At first, nothing happened… but then, (Finding Out)  the table started knocking in response, and ‘Philip’ seemed to come to life. Now, either they actually summoned a ghost they made up, or they somehow tapped into the hidden power of the human mind. 

Either way— Schitt’s Creeky, right?

 

Telepathy vs. Science: Where Does It Stand?

As much fun as this topic is, science and skepticism have a lot to say about it.

  • Pattern Recognition: Your brain is a pattern-detecting machine. If you think about your mom and she suddenly calls, was it telepathy or just subconscious expectation?
  • Placebo Effect: Belief alone can cause real physical effects, like people healing from sugar pills just because they thought they were taking real medicine.
  • Quantum Physics vs. Psychic Claims: Quantum mechanics shows us that the universe is weird (particles can be in two places at once), but psychic abilities haven’t held up under controlled scientific tests.

So, is telepathy real, or is our brain just a really good storyteller?

 

What Do You Think?

Now, my fellow weirdos, it’s your turn.

  • Have you ever experienced a moment of freaky intuition that you just can’t explain?
  • Do you believe psychic abilities could be real, or do you think science just hasn’t caught up yet?
  • What’s the weirdest telepathic story you’ve ever heard?
  • How do I get my ship with a quantum drive?

Leave a comment, email me at awkwardaccoms@gmail.com, or send a mental transmission—whatever works! If the CIA can take psychic abilities seriously, we sure as hell can have some fun with them.

Until next time, stay weird, stay skeptical, and if you hear voices in your head… maybe check if it’s just your mom calling.
