"Audible" Telepathy

[vigilantsleeper]

Greetings and Salutations, Long time lurker first time poster~

I've come to talk about Telepathy in which you hear the mental voice of someone, as if they were talking.

Well, a couple years ago friends and i would practice psionics. Just basic energy manipulation and telepathy things. One day at school i wore some ear plugs that i had. Wearing the ear plugs and not talking, i focused on my mental voice. My friend was about 20 feet away and i began calling her in my mind as "loud" as i could. She turned around and freaked out a little because i was sitting down in a corner. She came up to me and told me she heard me as if i were next to her saying her name. So after that we began working on replicating what had happened. She couldn't "hear" as well as when i "shouted" at her without her knowing. All she could hear was mumbling and she couldn't distinguish what i had said. So i tried "listening" for her, and i really couldn't hear anything. At one point i heard a scream; i asked my friend if she had just screamed in her head, and it turned out she did. We tried a couple more times at costco; while she was yelling to me "hello" an elderly man walked by and kept turning his head at her which freaked her out. Whenever she shouted the hello, he turned as if he heard her. We haven't practiced since then :\

Using psipog terminology, i assume what we were doing is broadcasting.

Although we were only able to shout a few words and noises. I imagine with practice, more can be said.

It would be really cool to have conversations with people mentally. Considering that we had to really shout mentally for the other person to hear, i don't think that it could get to the point where anyone sensitive enough could start hearing your mental voice.

lurking around, i haven't heard of what we were doing very much. So I'd like to hear people's thoughts about this, and perhaps they could try it out and tell us of their experiences.

Welcome

I haven't heard of it being distinguishable as pseudo-audible before, but I haven't done too much with telepathy myself as of yet. My mind is a little muddled right now so I think I'll let Wolf or someone else talk on this more in detail, I'd probably screw up relating something that I don't really understand

I'm with innerfire on knowledge but unlike him like talking about things on limited knowledge at the risk of bullshitting. I would assume that since TP is direct contact with the mind it can technically produce any effects whatsoever ranging from sending colors, impressions, and inspirations to making a person enter full scale hallucinations, in fact i have heard of several cases in which TP has caused hallucinations. If visual data can be transferred it is reasonable to assume that audio data could also be transferred.

Alternatively audible TP could be simply a way of interpreting rather than a different type of sent information. just like people who are powerful visualizers (or on hallucinogens) can overlay mental data on 'real' data, or sometimes accidentally do so like Nicola Tesla was said to do.

Welcome vigilantsleeper,

I just have one detail from you to ask (if that made any sense): Does anyone else hear the 'hello; or their name around that person?

I am no better at TP than the innerfire or ryakoth ;D. I tend to use imagery more, send them something that bothers them. Like some relative shouting the heck out of them or coffee spilled on their back. Find some port (like a network port; 8080 ;D), something they care about: their look, parents etc.. Then use that port. Thats me thou ;D.

I don't think it counts as TP when you just throw constructs programmed with images and or other mental or physical triggers that makes a message, but i do that.

when i was projecting to my friend, we didn't notice anyone else "hearing it". But when my friend tried to contact me in a public place, there was a person who seemed to hear her.

I'm thinking it might have been the type of visualization we used, when i was yelling at her, i visualized her in my mind and pictured myself as if i were next to her talking loudly. I'm not sure how she visualized though.

I'm not sure if this is proximity based either, we've only tried it in person. But assuming its like any other psionic skill, it shouldn't be.

From what I have heard of broadcasting, it sounds like that is what you did, and it would explain other people possibly hearing. Although they probably wouldn't hear as clearly, since only you and you friend have experience with this and were actively trying to listen. Random people would be less sensitive, if they heard anything it probably wouldn't be clear.

[vigilantsleeper]

yea, on the psipog article about it, the author sent her point across to people using the same method. But she didn't talk about others hearing what you said as if you had said it. And that when broadcasting, you can only send one piece of information.

If it is possible to take it to the next level, telepathy would be more verifiable: instead of worrying about AOL, you could just hear the person. Though the regular form of telepathy is better in terms of points across, i'd like to see if this could be expanded as well.

[confuded]

So for a private communication you need to enclose the telepathy tunnel/path, right? Otherwise you are almost broadcasting, but more specifically...

vigilantsleeper, if you don't mind, can you PM me a little description of how it feels when performing telepathy. And if there are any side effects like headaches. I don't want to trash this topic, and this question is to newbie to be here .

P.S. innerfire, now I can see you avatar finally ;D

Yes, that counts as telepathy. Sort of a smaller version of telepathy suggestion.
