Photo from open sources For the first time the term telepathy formed Frederick Myers, co-founder of the British Society Mental Research. It was a nonprofit organization, created in 1882 with the aim of studying unusual phenomena and human abilities that are commonly called “paranormal.” It should be noted that the creators of the OPI in no way were not charlatans and ignoramuses. These were the smartest people of their of time – philologists, poets, philosophers, physicists, chemists. Sir william Crookes, for example, discovered thallium and the first received helium in laboratory conditions. Members of the community took a scientific approach to study any paranormal phenomena, trying to connect them with the natural capabilities of the human body. Telepathy stood in list first, and after a series of experiments, British scientists established that “the transmission of thoughts at a distance is an indisputable fact.” TO Unfortunately, the essence of the experiment remained hidden in the records and OPI protocols, so it is not known what methods were found true. The Society for Mental Research still exists, although in a hundred-plus years, it has survived many scandals and shifts guides. Some scientists accused others of “excessive passion spiritualism, “and the latter reproached the former that they” study only bones and muscles, without delving into the structure of souls and hearts. “The British never came to a common opinion, standing on the verge between science and occultism. Perhaps if they really possessed perfectly telepathy, the situation would be different … Disputes of a length of century Even with the very definition of telepathy, it’s not so simple, as it seems. In parapsychology, it is customary to separate the conscious telepathy from the unconscious, interpreting as two different phenomena. Then is, if a person conveys thoughts at a distance by an effort of will, this one thing, and if he accepts someone else’s thoughts, as well as messages from the other world – is completely different. While clean for some reason, it’s precisely people who are “receivers” who are considered “telepaths,” and the first – So, just a little brain training. Similar division support both modern parapsychologists and researchers old school. A logical question arises – what in this case Are true “telepaths” different from mediums? This is decades argued spiritualists and supporters of the theory of telepathy. First defended the existence of the afterlife and its connection with the world of the living, and the latter believed that mediums simply “catch” messages from information field created by those present. One of top executives, Frank Podmore, even tried to finally to fix for all visions of mediums, shamans and preachers the status of “telepathic hallucinations” by writing the book “Visions and transmission of thought. “However, he did not achieve much success. Supporters Both theories still stand their own. Telepaths involuntarily One of the first manifestations of “spontaneous telepathy” was recorded before the term – in 1759, during famous Stockholm fire. Scientist Emanuel von Swedenborg fifty miles from the flaming capital of Sweden, in friends company. So, friends say Swedenborg suddenly turned pale and said quietly: “A fire is raging in Stockholm.” It is believed that Emanuel caught the thoughts of his neighbor, who was at that moment in a burning house. Another example described in the protocols OPI, happened to a certain Major General R., who died on the field battle, but before his death he asked to give his wife an engagement ring. The woman claimed that being a hundred and fifty miles from the place fighting, she half asleep heard her husband’s voice: “Take off ring from my finger and send it to my wife. “The head of the OPI said that the reliability of what was happening was convincingly confirmed. Even famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud cited case involuntary telepathy from their practice. His “receiver” was one Czech who emigrated to the USA. In 1939, she suddenly felt a strong sense of fear and despair, as she “knew” that her mother died at home. Two days later, she came from Czechoslovakia telegram confirming death. Freud himself could not give a definite assessments of this case, but vouched that his patient was not a scammer. Modern study It’s interesting that since how the term “telepathy” was formulated, despite the endless a series of experiments and disputes, so it was not really clear – a myth it or reality. On the one hand, there is the opinion of scientists from the OPI – unconditionally respected people, the famous “cross-correspondence” spiritualists of the beginning of the XX century and a huge number of cases when eyewitnesses recorded the transmission of thoughts at a distance. FROM on the other hand, pure science, biology and physics of the middle and the end XX century, which did not find unequivocal confirmation of such a common phenomenon. In the USA, Europe and the USSR, experiments were performed in an incredible amount, they stood out public and private means, some research lasted for decades. We have them were conducted with the participation of famous scientists – in particular, Vladimir Ankylosing spondylitis, and psychics – such as Ninel Kulagina and Wolf Messing. The results of such experiments were very different – from deafening success to complete failure. There was only one thing – certainty, consistency. But it is she who stands between theory and proven fact. For example, Wolf Messing himself admitted that most of his mind-reading abilities rather, “muscle reading.” Holding the interlocutor’s hand, he could catch the impulses of the body and understand what a person is thinking. Ninel Kulagina read information from the minds of other people already on distance, the famous trainer Vladimir Durov inspired teams dogs, but with repeated experiments, the results were zero. The phenomenon of telepathy remains a mystery to this day. Reading session thoughts without exposing unconfirmed experiments not prevented world culture from mentioning telepathy in a multitude artwork. Heroes of comics, books and films use it without any labor, strengthening readers’ minds and viewers believe in the special abilities of the mind. Scientists of our time add oil to the fire, developing special chips that will get implanted in the brain and allow you to naturally exchange thoughts on distance. Of course, now this method is only suitable for desperate daredevils. It is also worth noting that with the development of funds communications such as telephones, especially mobile, email and Internet, the problem of telepathy is no longer as acute as a hundred years ago. Research collapses, scientists do other things things, and for parapsychologists, the transmission of thoughts has long been considered obsolete and uninteresting phenomenon. If you are sure that have telepathic abilities and want to share this with in the world, there is one fun way to materialize. James Randy a magician from the USA, founded a special Enlightenment Fund and promises a million dollars to anyone who proves in strict laboratory conditions its paranormal ability. Fund was It was established in 1996, and so far the million remain untouched. But who knows, maybe you are lucky to get it? Sergei Yevtushenko
