So two years ago or a little less I had an experience that proved to me the existence of telepathy. I have written about this here before, but now I have some questions about it.
One day while driving to the mall I repeated aloud my heart’s desire. This desire could be expressed in as few as three words. I did this for no more than ten minutes, but with great intensity and conviction.
The very next day while walking across the parking lot of the very same mall, on my way to the grocery store, I was suddenly confronted by a man, a total stranger who stood directly in front of me, pointed right at me and said loudly: “Sir…” Then he spoke the three words, several times over: the same declarative statement about myself, only in the second person instead of in the first person.
This happened again shortly afterward, inside the store. At checkout the same man came up to me and repeated the same phrase in the same way.
Not for a millisecond do I believe that this happened by mere coincidence. Somehow my thought propagated by some immaterial means and was caught by the mind of this individual, who correctly perceived and repeated it back to me.
This suggests to me two things. First, it seems there must be some medium or field through which thoughts can propagate - especially, it seems, thoughts that generate some strong feeling. Second, it appears that our thoughts have the power to influence the minds of other persons, and hence - very importantly, I think - to influence the way they conduct themselves toward us.
So here follow my questions. First, what is the nature of this medium through which thoughts propagate from one mind to another? Does this kind of transmission of consciousness occur on the astral plane? Is it the astral light, orgone, Odic force, or something else? Or is consciousness as such the means of transmission?
Second, it seems to me that it would be most useful to be able to deliberately use this phenomenon to one’s advantage. Within the bounds of ethics, should it not be possible to affect the consciousness of others in ways that might make the difference between one’s own failure and success, between good and evil outcomes? If so, what means exactly are available to do that?
For the last few years I’ve been following the ideas of Neville Goddard and other New Thought authors. Goddard says that the world is a mirror that reflects back to you your own thoughts, feelings and assumptions; and in the case of the present incident, something like that principle does seem to have been at work. But this is my hypothesis; it’s not like I have a developed theory, with just one direct experience of this sort, albeit a to-me meaningful one.
The Astral Light?
