Telepathy can be simply defined as mental transmission of thoughts or image directly to or from the mind of others over a distance without the use of words and the five senses: the touch, the sight, the taste, the smell, and the hearing.

In short, we can put telepathy on its own pedestal regarding a language. However, there have been several scientists and even animal trainers who are completely convinced that animals have the power of telepathy. While you would think this would be a crazy thought, they actually believe this can happen by vast distances.

Many years ago it was believed that primitive tribes possessed the power of telepathy, and anthropologists still believe it today. People in the Western world though usually need some kind of telepathy training to get started.

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?

So knowing this, we have to believe that most of humanity has simply lost their ability to connect with the telepathy that the mind has an available. It should be as easy as the way to respond to music and your other five senses.

Others feel that telepathy is just a form of our sixth sense. That what we are experiencing is not a true telepathic trait but a more common feeling that manifests itself through this sense. In the animal kingdom, it is more commonly known as instinct.

There are times we feel that someone is staring at us which may be true most of the time, or we feel strange feelings about the persons closest to us which also come out true at times. Some people even get a feeling that something is going to happen or that someone would call or visit all of a sudden after being thought of. As it may be common to mothers to feel strange when her child is in danger, it may be common to other persons as well. These are the simple forms of telepathy.

Telepathy nowadays may have been ignored perhaps because of the religious philosophies. Since most of the religious beliefs do not accept the philosophy of telepathy, its existence was not given much importance. Most religions would even associate telepathy to dark powers and evil cultures which force people to refrain from developing mental communication.

Due to these older religions and the shame it brought to telepathy, only few people gained knowledge of it. It was so hard for most people to put faith in their own abilities as human beings.

Some may argue that it is the other way around, that because of organized religion, that we have put telepathy onto holy leaders as opposed to an inherent trait. This is because some religious leaders have led, their flocks to believe that telepathy is a tool of the devil. This is a great way for the masses to ignore and eventually lose their telepathic ability.

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

What is questionable with the science is that, scientists accept and adhere to the fact that people and animals have emotions and instinct since they themselves feel these feelings as well making them convinced that these things exist. But these are in fact more mysterious and hard to define than 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.

With regards to the forgotten telepathy, it is likened to the biblical story of the Tower of Babylon where the people failed to distinguish the language they were using. Maybe the language of telepathy was one of those.
