In short, we can put telepathy on its own pedestal regarding a language.

It is common knowledge amongst those who work with various variety of animals that some possess a type of telepathy for speaking to each other or conveying thoughts. Some mammals such as whales have been thought to be able to use this to send out messages over miles and miles of ocean.

Historically human kind may have had telepathy as a survival tactic when tribes lived far apart from each other and needed to be in some sort of contact. This may have continued with peoples who are not modernized today.

Even though telepathy is not a widely spoken about, it is not as uncommon as you might think. This used to be a regular occurrence in human behavior. Just as much as what your native tongue or what you look like depends on where and who you are born to, telepathy used to be the same. It is thought that those who do not naturally feel the telepathy, can be trained to remember it again. That most just have a learning problem as someone with dyslexia has a problem with letters and numbers.

One of the abilities it is thought we had as humans long ago was telepathy, but that has evolved out of our consciousness. It is felt that this sixth sense was as normal as the other senses.

As mentioned before, telepathy has some times gone by the sixth sense. Another common analogy for telepathy is the third eye. This is the eye that sees beyond our normal vision.

We have many ways of expressing our intuition, or telepathy. You may get sudden shivvers down your spine, some people say that is someone walking on their grave. This sensation is often a precursor to a telepathic thought or feeling. Perhaps right after that some thing very good or some thing very bad happens. Did you just have a telepathic moment or is it coincidence? Some may have a feeling of dread for no reason at all, then they may get some bad news that they did not want to hear. This also can be a form of telepathy in its purest form.

As we have grown in our cultures, we have lost touch with our telepathic ancestors. Most of do not even recognize our own telepathy.

One problem with learning telepathy today definitely has to do with ascendant religions. Religions today, especially Christianity and Islam, tend to distrust telepathy as being some kind of Satanic tool or proof of demon possession.

These religions among us have come to have such power over society that a great many people have been taught to put no faith in telepathy, but only in ‘the Messiah’ or ‘the Savior’ or ‘the Prophet’ rather than in their own natural abilities.

Why, you may ask yourself, are the major religions so vehemently against the idea of telepathy?

After all, isnt denial usually a sure sign of guilt or the truth. The person who is most adamant about their innocence tends to be guilty more often than not. More than likely, they are trying to suppress a power or belief that would weaken their stance with the current members of their religion. Showing a weakness can be that first sign of doubt that could lead to the end of an individuals participation of their faith.

While this is a major problem, there are many other issues as well. One of the biggest has to do with the assurance that comes from science.

Despite the evidence for telepathy that has been uncovered by biologists, anthropologists, some open-minded physicists, and everyday people who have the experiences, the common scientific view is that telepathy cannot be numerically measured, or tasted, or touched precisely enough to be given serious consideration.

Instead you will find that we classify telepathic experiences as connections and instincts. We believe this is true only because those scientists, who try to bring the negative side to it, can’t experience it themselves. However, they’re always quick to acknowledge a strange or gut feeling as an instinct. While this wouldn’t normally be a big deal, it’s hard to understand considering these traits are just as elusive as telepathy.

There may be some who are just closed minded out of a sense of envy. Perhaps they can not nor will not believe or put their trust in to something that they can not feel, therefore they simply discount it as fallacy. If they could have the power of telepathy, they may be more open to its existence.

It is hard to say when we humans became bereft of our natural telepathy. Perhaps the gods decided that we no longer needed it.

When we use our minds to convey what we are thinking without speaking is like having another step on a ladder only you can use.

A common belief among scientists and animal trainers, is that animals have been doing this for as long as they have been around. They are absolutely convinced that this is an integral part of the way they communicate with each other and that their abilities allow them to do so over large distances.

Some anthropologists are also fully convinced that there are some primitive tribes who today can still use the power of telepathy to communicate with one another.

Most of our normal behaviors are learned behaviors. Some are more instinctual in nature and telepathy is considered one of these behaviors. It is thought that we can be taught to be telepathic again just as we are taught to read or to write. If we can teach those with learning disabilities to over come them and lean these basic needs, why can we not teach those who are not telepaths naturally to attain this trait?

It is not known exactly when we lost our ability to use telepathy on a regular basis, it may be that we have just simply closed our minds to the fact that we are telepathic.

Some people consider this another sense altogether. That is considered to be the sixth sense to many. It also comes in many other names depending on the era and region. It is now basically considered an instinct.

Intuition is a form of telepathy. You know that feeling that someone is watching your or the hair on your arms starts to tingle? That is telepathy in its purest form. Most of the time when you have these feelings, you are correct in your assessment. How many times have your children woken you up by just looking at you while you sleep, intuitively, even in your sleeping state you sense that someone is there and wake up.

Why people starting to lose faith in telepathy or stopped practicing their ability to do so is hard to figure out.

The answer is not an easy one but belief and practice are the most likely culprits. As society progressed, our beliefs changed and a big part of that was religion. The faiths that people practice today all but discount telepathy and actually make this ability out to be a type of demonic possession.

Faith no longer belongs to the human being but to outside forces or gods. Instead of putting faith in ourselves, we cherish and worship gods to match our personal beliefs.

This really begs the question ‘why are the major religions so against the concept of telepathy?’

In our own opinion it has to do with the power struggle between religious leaders. Why would they want someone else challenging them if they knew about telepathy? Granted not every leader is like this, but the majority has been throughout history.

Another problem modern day man has with telepathy is that telepathy can not easily be studied by traditional science.

Perhaps they have closed their minds to the concept entirely. It is hard to say as scientists do accept intuition which is a form of telepathy. It may be because it has been rendering so far out of normal human existence that they can not open their minds to this event being an actuality.

However, the truth that surrounds this issue is that some scientists are deemed as prejudice. If they can’t feel the emotions themselves, then how are they supposed to accept it as something real? Then again, they understand that instincts can be felt, yet there is no problem accepting this into the world. Oddly enough, these are just as elusive as telepathy.

Some believe it could be that the scientists who oppose telepathy are simply jealous. After all, it doesn’t seem fair that someone could do something like this, which is why they don’t want anyone else to have them. So instead of branding something different, it is always considered an instinctive response.

It is hard to say how we lost our original telepathic ability. It may be that with the advancement of men and technology, we lost our need to be more telepathic.

If you cannot use the methods that we have all grown accustomed to, how exactly are we communication then? The answer is that you are doing so on a completely different level than we are used to.

This method is a method that is believed to have existed from the beginning of time in animals. As scientists believe we are direct descendants of animals, why would we not have this same ability to communicate silently?

Groups of primitive cultures have been thought to have telepathic abilities. Some of the more aboriginal tribes of today are said to still be engaging in some sort of telepathy.

It is not that telepathy is a cryptic thought process, it is that many do not know what it is or if they have felt it before. At one time in our historic history, humans have been telepathic. Just as easily as humans could read or write, they were able to communicate telepathically.

It is felt that there is the possibility that telepathy has evolved out of mankind through natural selection. Perhaps with all the modern advances we no longer need to be telepathic.

When you hear people talk about the "sixth sense," they are often referring to things such as telepathy and other psychic powers. Others may call it the "third eye". There are different ways of describing it but it is all based on the use of powers outside of what we call ‘normal’.

You have probably already utilized your telepathic power and haven’t even realized it. This is mostly because we consider these to be gut feelings or instincts. Maybe you just felt as though someone was looking over your shoulder, or you’re worried about a family member all of the sudden. These things happen all the time and the end result is that you’re usually right. It’s amazing how we accept this in our world, but the mention of it being connected to telepathy and most people turn their head.

We can’t really pinpoint an exact time when the majority of humanity seemed to lose touch with telepathy, but it has a lot to do with not believing in its power.

However, one reason that can be directly linked to this is the popularity of modern religion. Today, religion all but belittles the telepathic ability or treats it as some sort of sign of being a demon.

Religion has such influence over our culture and they have used that influence to dismiss telepathy as actually existing. Followers have been taught to that only the Messiah or the Savior can possess special abilities and that they need place their faith in that instead of believing in themselves.

While we aren’t trying to offend anyone, you have to ask why religions would be so distrustful of telepathy.

The main theory as to why religion has denounced telepathy is because of a base power struggle between the spiritual leaders of certain churches and faiths. These unscrupulous leaders would rather our faith be in the deity of their chosen religion rather than in ourselves. This gives more weight to their specific god or holy leader and makes it easier to have faith in them.

Another issue that we have in todays society with telepathy is that it cannot be scientifically proven to exist.

A lot of testing has been done on known telepaths but still the scientific community as a whole has discounted these revelations. They assume there is some type of hoax involved as some of these tests have not been in controlled situations.

It is curious to find that scientists do have strong beliefs toward sensations of human emotion and they agree that there is some truth to instinctual behavior. Perhaps this is because they can experience these things themselves in that it is more intrinsic in them. Whereas with telepathy, because of the fading of the sense holds no strong bond in them. Therefore, because the scientists themselves do not feel telepathic, then it must not exist.

It may be a simple human emotion that is keeping the scientific community from acknowledging that telepathy is an actual sense. If it has been discounted before, some scientist will choose not to figure out for themselves whether it exists or not due to pride.

As to why humanity began losing touch with telepathy at all, perhaps it’s as simple as the Tower of Babylon story–perhaps the languages that were confused by God or the gods were not just those of speech but also the language of telepathy.

To communicate telepathically is to do so on a whole different level than what we are used to.

Indeed, many animal trainers and scientists researching the ways animal communicate have become convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that animals are using telepathic communications in addition to other means of reaching each other, and sometimes their telepathic communications extend over vast distances.

Many believe that ancient man inherently had this ability to communicate with each other as a necessity of survival and that some may not have lost this ability over time.

While it is sometimes equated to be far fetched, that is obviously not the case. The perception of telepathy needs to be one that is possibly inherited and an ability that can be learned. It is just like learning to communicate with a new language or learning anything new for that matter. Just because you cant do it, does not mean that it does not exist. Maybe you are the one that is a little lacking on your learning abilities!

But instead, our civilization has mostly lost the telepathic powers that are just as much part of the natural human brain and capabilities as speech, response to music, and the five senses.

In fact, telepathy is sometimes called the 6th sense or your third eye that sees things your other two cannot. While these two facets are not actually related to each other, you get the general idea that these skills are equated to telepathy originating from the second nature that humans and animals are sometimes talked to possess.

Gut feeling is often a term that is used when someone thinks they are getting an idea, good or bad, as to how something is going to happen. You also have heard the stories of premonitions that were experienced by one family member or another about their child or sibling that was possibly in danger. These stories go on and on and they are merely dismissed as coincidence when in fact they are a form of telepathy. By definition, they fit the description to a tee.

While there is no real answer as to why humans lost touch with telepathic powers, but it’s usually because we just stopped believing, but why?

How this began will probably never be answered, but it’s believed that it was constantly down played by religions all over the world. Most predominantly were Christianity and Islam. They believe that this is the power of Satan and not a tool the human mind already has inside.

When we have a telepathic occurrence, we now associate it with a higher power instead of within ourselves. We feel that the higher power we believe in is the reason for our instincts and abilities.

While we aren’t trying to offend anyone, you have to ask why religions would be so distrustful of telepathy.

Our own opinion is that if others possess a power such as this, they can challenge the leaders of the church. Since no one wants to lose their power, they keep everyone suppressed about the matter. Granted, it’s not like this everyone, but when cases arise it’s usually the reason.

Another issue that we have in todays society with telepathy is that it cannot be scientifically proven to exist.

While most scientists believe there is a connection between telepathy and the mind, there are some out there that just can’t accept it. On a lawful approach, some scientists believe that telepathy cannot be numerically measured, tasted, or touched.

It is hard to explain why there is no scientific belief in telepathy. Other senses can be felt by every human being, yet telepathy is only well known to just a small portion of the world. But even with the proofs in place, some will just refuse to believe or even contemplate the existence of telepathy. Some other things that require a trust in a sense to believe in are widely accepted, such as animal instincts.

Maybe it’s just jealousy on their part. After all, most individuals hate it when something can’t be explained, yet someone else can do it. When a phenomenon like telepathy comes along, it’s much easier to tell us it’s an instinctive response as opposed to an extraordinary power of the mind.

It is hard to pinpoint when or why humans lost their ability to communicate telepathically, but it is important to realize that in some forms we feel it every day.

If you cannot use the methods that we have all grown accustomed to, how exactly are we communication then? The answer is that you are doing so on a completely different level than we are used to.

Even scientists and animal trainers have done extensive research and found that animals are able to do this from very far distances. Keep in mind this isn’t some small study, it’s actually to a point where they believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Many believe that ancient man inherently had this ability to communicate with each other as a necessity of survival and that some may not have lost this ability over time.

There are many common cases of telepathy, though it is still considered by some to just be witch craft or that telepathy does not exist at all. While the reality is that one can learn this ability as one learns other aspects of human life such as writing and talking to one another in a way that is comprehensible. If we have problems with these tasks, we do not say they do not exist because we can not learn them, we just adapt our learning to circumvent the block or problem that causes the learning disability.

One of the abilities it is thought we had as humans long ago was telepathy, but that has evolved out of our consciousness. It is felt that this sixth sense was as normal as the other senses.

In fact, telepathy is sometimes called the 6th sense or your third eye that sees things your other two cannot. While these two facets are not actually related to each other, you get the general idea that these skills are equated to telepathy originating from the second nature that humans and animals are sometimes talked to possess.

There are many ways that modern humans may now experience forms of telepathy. The instinct that we all think of a gut reaction. In an even more base level, when a woman is pregnant, the baby can not tell the mother what nutrients it is lacking. Instead, the baby communicates telepathically by sending out cravings to the mother. Not all cravings are the funny ice cream and pickle types. The mother generally gets cravings that are vitamins and nutrients that may not be normal in her every day diet. By sending out these telepathic thoughts, the baby can communicate its need to the mother without having to speak directly to the mother.

Why did society lose their abilities of telepathy for the most part?

More formalized religion can surely take some of the blame. Most forms of structured religious beliefs do not adhere to the fact that telepathy exists, instead it is assumed and associated with darker cultures. This gives the common man a fear of what telepathy can do that may be evil.

When we have a telepathic occurrence, we now associate it with a higher power instead of within ourselves. We feel that the higher power we believe in is the reason for our instincts and abilities.

Why, you may ask yourself, are the major religions so vehemently against the idea of telepathy?

Because of the celestial quality of formalized religious gods, whether they be Christian, Jewish or Muslim, most of the traditional influential people have nixed the idea of telepathy as it does not fit in with faith of said gods. It is rare, but more modern day theology pursuers are beginning to realize that telepathy may indeed exist.

Another problem modern day man has with telepathy is that telepathy can not easily be studied by traditional science.

Perhaps it has been down played for them because of their religious beliefs or perhaps it is because faith is needed to believe in it some what, what ever the reason, most scientist think telepathy is folly. It could be that there are no scientific labels that are associated with telepathy, as in the periodic chart or other measurements that are used. It can not exist if you can not measure it. It is a close minded way of thinking, but it happens unfortunately.

It is common knowledge that we all feel emotions and have instinctual behaviors. These can not be measured either but they are still customary feelings that are accepted by the scientific community.

There may be some who are just closed minded out of a sense of envy. Perhaps they can not nor will not believe or put their trust in to something that they can not feel, therefore they simply discount it as fallacy. If they could have the power of telepathy, they may be more open to its existence.

It is hard to say when we humans became bereft of our natural telepathy. Perhaps the gods decided that we no longer needed it.

Telepathy is simply a natural, although misunderstood level of communication.

Over the years animal trainers and scientists have come to understand that animals use telepathic communications when connecting with one another. However, this can also extend over a far distance and not just when in close proximety.

Scientifically it is thought that many tribes that have not had the benefit of modern technology still communicate with telepathy.

What you need to understand is that telepathy isn’t some sort of crazy aberration. Instead, it’s something that we should recognize just as we would when coming across a person with speech issues. While we classify this as a disability, it should be the same scenario for someone who cannot utilize their telepathic power. Unfortunately it’s not, but hopefully in the near future it will be.

Instead, our society has alienated this skill and has failed to hone it to perfection over the years. It should be groomed as we would speech, music and our natural senses but it is not.

When you hear people talk about the "sixth sense," they are often referring to things such as telepathy and other psychic powers. Others may call it the "third eye". There are different ways of describing it but it is all based on the use of powers outside of what we call ‘normal’.

People all the time experience ‘gut feelings’ that turn out to be accurate guideposts, feel as if someone is looking at them from behind (which turns out often to be true), have intuitive perceptions about another person that largely turn out to be accurate, have a ’strange feeling’ that someone they haven’t been in touch with in a while is going to contact them or visit them and it happens, get the feeling that someone they love is in danger and it turns out to be true (this most commonly happens between mother and child, but it’s not limited to that), and so on. These are all aspects of telepathy.

It is difficult to pinpoint why most of humanity would have lost touch with their telepathic powers and stopped believing in them.

How this began will probably never be answered, but it’s believed that it was constantly down played by religions all over the world. Most predominantly were Christianity and Islam. They believe that this is the power of Satan and not a tool the human mind already has inside.

If you or someone you know are set in their religious ways, you’ve probably been told not to put any sort of faith in telepathy. This is so you reflect this power to only be utilized by the Messiah, Savior, Prophet, or any other name you use for the almighty.

Do you ever wonder why this is so? Why are religions so anti-telepathy?

Our own opinion is that if others possess a power such as this, they can challenge the leaders of the church. Since no one wants to lose their power, they keep everyone suppressed about the matter. Granted, it’s not like this everyone, but when cases arise it’s usually the reason.

It is to be said that modern science does not accept the statement that telepathy does exist.

While most scientists believe there is a connection between telepathy and the mind, there are some out there that just can’t accept it. On a lawful approach, some scientists believe that telepathy cannot be numerically measured, tasted, or touched.

It’s a big dilemma considering scientists have no problem accepting emotions and instincts. Are these individuals being prejudice? It’s possible, but since scientists can feel emotions and instincts themselves, they consider this okay. When it comes to telepathy though, there is a lot left to be explained, so they don’t acknowledge it.

There may be a sort of envy involved when it comes to telepathy. It is felt that scientists may decide to ignore the fact or to mislabel telepathy as instinct.

Why did we lose our ability to communicate this way? Is it as simple as the Tower of Babylon? Maybe the confusing languages that were misunderstood by the gods were more than one form of communication. Maybe the silent communication was mixed and creating chaos. We will never know.

Communication is not always limited to vocalization or writing, we can convey thoughts or feelings by a look or a touch. Telepathy is removing all normal conventions and feeling through a long distance, and without technology like telephones or email. It is a meeting of the minds as it were.

Many animals can convey thoughts or feeling without speaking or touching. This may be known as instinctual behavior, but many believe animals are more than likely telepathic. Many who study this behavior in animals claim it to be true and since there is no science that disproves it, it can be believed.

When looking back to primitive times, anthropologists believe that some ancient tribes made use of the ability of telepathy and still have the ability to do so today.

Even though telepathy is not a widely spoken about, it is not as uncommon as you might think. This used to be a regular occurrence in human behavior. Just as much as what your native tongue or what you look like depends on where and who you are born to, telepathy used to be the same. It is thought that those who do not naturally feel the telepathy, can be trained to remember it again. That most just have a learning problem as someone with dyslexia has a problem with letters and numbers.

With modern times being what they are, our society has all but lost their natural abilities of telepathic power. These abilities are deep inside of everyone and are just as natural as the ability to speak, listen to music and respond and using your common 5 senses.

Telepathy is in fact linked with the ’sixth sense’, sometimes referred to also as the ‘third eye’. These two things are not exactly the same thing, but telepathic powers come from that same second nature of human beings and animals.

People all the time experience ‘gut feelings’ that turn out to be accurate guideposts, feel as if someone is looking at them from behind (which turns out often to be true), have intuitive perceptions about another person that largely turn out to be accurate, have a ’strange feeling’ that someone they haven’t been in touch with in a while is going to contact them or visit them and it happens, get the feeling that someone they love is in danger and it turns out to be true (this most commonly happens between mother and child, but it’s not limited to that), and so on. These are all aspects of telepathy.

As we have grown in our cultures, we have lost touch with our telepathic ancestors. Most of do not even recognize our own telepathy.

Because of the elusive nature of telepathy in more modern societies, many may not feel that telepathy even exists, but that is their chosen god who is sending signals of warning or messages for them personally. This can benefit churches and organized religions who use this as an aid in spreading the word of their god.

Sometimes there is nothing you can do when fighting a religion. Many people believe that all the religions have so much power over our society that most people have been taught to put no faith in telepathy. This is because it’s believed that the Messiah, Savior, or Prophet has to the natural abilities to do something of this magnitude.

But this does beg the question, why would religions come to be so distrustful of telepathy in the first place?

A lot of it has to do with the powerful leaders of each religion. While we will say that there are true religious leaders, there are some out there that don’t want anyone else to have the power. Think of it as someone challenging you in your workplace. Do you want to acknowledge that they know more than you do? Of course not, which is why some religious officials do the same thing.

Everyone deals with different religions, but if they’re not pushing down telepathy, scientists who are narrow minded are the next in line.

A lot of testing has been done on known telepaths but still the scientific community as a whole has discounted these revelations. They assume there is some type of hoax involved as some of these tests have not been in controlled situations.

It is common knowledge that we all feel emotions and have instinctual behaviors. These can not be measured either but they are still customary feelings that are accepted by the scientific community.

Fear can be a reason why scientists do not delve too deeply into the study of telepathy, as stated before, there is a certain fear to thinking someone can read your mind. Most would rather let the subject drop and study areas that they feel have more value to themselves or to human kind.

We many never find out the true reason why humanity lost touch, but it could date back as far as the story around the Tower of Babylon. Seeing how this was the time when languages were to confuse people, it’s possible that the language of telepathy disappeared.

Telepathy is simply a natural, although misunderstood level of communication.

Even scientists and animal trainers have done extensive research and found that animals are able to do this from very far distances. Keep in mind this isn’t some small study, it’s actually to a point where they believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Groups of primitive cultures have been thought to have telepathic abilities. Some of the more aboriginal tribes of today are said to still be engaging in some sort of telepathy.

Telepathy may not be as obscure as some may think it is. Telepathy is not just an inherited trait, it should be something that is nurtured and developed at a young age just like the dialect we speak. Just because a child has problems with learning, we should not out rightly say that they can not learn, we must train them in another way. This is the same with telepathy, it may require new techniques to learn to be telepathic, but it can be done.

One thing to understand is that most of our societies over many thousands of years have simply lost their telepathic powers. Even though it is just as natural, now we use only speech and the common five senses.

What it comes down to is that telepathy and that "sixth sense" is connected. You may know the term "third eye" to be a more descriptive answer in your area.

You have probably already utilized your telepathic power and haven’t even realized it. This is mostly because we consider these to be gut feelings or instincts. Maybe you just felt as though someone was looking over your shoulder, or you’re worried about a family member all of the sudden. These things happen all the time and the end result is that you’re usually right. It’s amazing how we accept this in our world, but the mention of it being connected to telepathy and most people turn their head.

It is difficult to pinpoint why most of humanity would have lost touch with their telepathic powers and stopped believing in them.

However, one reason that can be directly linked to this is the popularity of modern religion. Today, religion all but belittles the telepathic ability or treats it as some sort of sign of being a demon.

If you or someone you know are set in their religious ways, you’ve probably been told not to put any sort of faith in telepathy. This is so you reflect this power to only be utilized by the Messiah, Savior, Prophet, or any other name you use for the almighty.

So exactly why are religions so against the concept of telepathic powers?

A lot of it has to do with the powerful leaders of each religion. While we will say that there are true religious leaders, there are some out there that don’t want anyone else to have the power. Think of it as someone challenging you in your workplace. Do you want to acknowledge that they know more than you do? Of course not, which is why some religious officials do the same thing.

Telepathy is not thought of as a genuine article by most in the scientific community.

Perhaps they have closed their minds to the concept entirely. It is hard to say as scientists do accept intuition which is a form of telepathy. It may be because it has been rendering so far out of normal human existence that they can not open their minds to this event being an actuality.

It’s a big dilemma considering scientists have no problem accepting emotions and instincts. Are these individuals being prejudice? It’s possible, but since scientists can feel emotions and instincts themselves, they consider this okay. When it comes to telepathy though, there is a lot left to be explained, so they don’t acknowledge it.

It may be a simple human emotion that is keeping the scientific community from acknowledging that telepathy is an actual sense. If it has been discounted before, some scientist will choose not to figure out for themselves whether it exists or not due to pride.

Whether we have lost or forgotten our telepathic past, it can be assumed that we once did have this sense as our basic make up as humans. Perhaps not, this question will not be a an easy one to answer.

Communication through telepathy is not done in the normal way we communicate.

While humans have lost most of their natural telepathic ability, animals have retained their telepathic ability. Most of those people who work with animals swear that they exhibit some form of mental telepathy within their group unit. How is it that birds always know when to fly south or north for seasons? Ok, instinct has something to do with it, but how about how an entire flock will suddenly take flight when a predator is around with out making a sound? Surely they do not all see or sense the threat? It may well be that there is a telepathic link that when one bird feels the danger it is telepathically communicated to the other birds of the flock.

Many years ago it was believed that primitive tribes possessed the power of telepathy, and anthropologists still believe it today.

Even though telepathy is not a widely spoken about, it is not as uncommon as you might think. This used to be a regular occurrence in human behavior. Just as much as what your native tongue or what you look like depends on where and who you are born to, telepathy used to be the same. It is thought that those who do not naturally feel the telepathy, can be trained to remember it again. That most just have a learning problem as someone with dyslexia has a problem with letters and numbers.

While humans have kept their other senses; sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste, the sense of telepathy is no longer evident in modern humanity.

As mentioned before, telepathy has some times gone by the sixth sense. Another common analogy for telepathy is the third eye. This is the eye that sees beyond our normal vision.

Have you ever had a gut feeling come over you? Did it end up happening? Telepathy works in many different forms, and often times we miss it for a simple rush or just negative thinking. The problem is when it happens you find yourself wondering why you didn’t pay attention to your thoughts. Then again, there are positive times like a friend you haven’t heard from in a long time calls you within the same week you thought about them. It’s crazy to think about, but things like this happen all the time, yet we overlook them as mere coincidences, even though a mother/child power is accepted.

So when did humanity start to lose their telepathic powers and stop believing in them?

Religious fervor can be accounted for some of the loss of telepathic ability along with natural evolution and need. It is easier for man to think that these telepathic feelings being sent from a higher power than from within themselves. If a higher power is giving us these thoughts, we are more inclined to believe in that power. It makes the gods more powerful in our minds.

Some religions have gone so far as to say that telepathy is a tool of the devil, we often fear what we do not understand and for some, reading minds or using telepathy can be quite frightening. The idea that some one can get inside your head and speak to you is fearful indeed.

Why, you may ask yourself, are the major religions so vehemently against the idea of telepathy?

A lot of it has to do with the powerful leaders of each religion. While we will say that there are true religious leaders, there are some out there that don’t want anyone else to have the power. Think of it as someone challenging you in your workplace. Do you want to acknowledge that they know more than you do? Of course not, which is why some religious officials do the same thing.

Scientists have a basic need to be able to explain any event. Because of the elusive nature of telepathy, they do not believe it exists even though many people have had these experiences in their lives.

Most scientists have the thoughts that if it is not something that can be studied or tore apart and put back together that it can not be a true ability. Some scientists do agree that instinct does exist within humans and the animal kingdom however.

Instead you will find that we classify telepathic experiences as connections and instincts. We believe this is true only because those scientists, who try to bring the negative side to it, can’t experience it themselves. However, they’re always quick to acknowledge a strange or gut feeling as an instinct. While this wouldn’t normally be a big deal, it’s hard to understand considering these traits are just as elusive as telepathy.

Maybe it’s just jealousy on their part. After all, most individuals hate it when something can’t be explained, yet someone else can do it. When a phenomenon like telepathy comes along, it’s much easier to tell us it’s an instinctive response as opposed to an extraordinary power of the mind.

Why did we lose our ability to communicate this way? Is it as simple as the Tower of Babylon? Maybe the confusing languages that were misunderstood by the gods were more than one form of communication. Maybe the silent communication was mixed and creating chaos. We will never know.
