The Limitless Powers Of The Human Mind

Mental Telepathy

When you pick up the thoughts of another person you are using a subtle form of communication, which is quite different from the normal physical senses. Today, mental telepathy is becoming widely recognized and practiced. The major world powers have researched this subject and although results are generally classified, it is known that there has been a substantial measure of success.

Some time ago the U.S. Navy carried out successful tests of thought transmission from shore to the submarine Nautilus submerged 1500 miles away. It has also been reported that telepathic messages have been received from astronauts far out in space.

E.S.P. (Extra Sensory Perception)

There are indications that in Russia, E.S.P. in all its forms is being studied extensively. Investigations carried out in the laboratory by Dr J.B.Rhine, Professor of Parapsychology at Duke University, North Carolina, and others have achieved a limited but growing acceptance of E.S.P. in the scientific world. They have shown that some of the persons tested could identify unseen cards, receive telepathic messages or prerecognise the fall of dice with a success rate far above a normal chance.

Extra Sensory Powers

Many ‘sensitives’ have demonstrated the powers of E.S.P. successfully when in a sympathetic atmosphere, but with less success under rigidly controlled scientific conditions. This is to be expected because the higher mind ability being used is very different from the down-to-earth analytical mind of the scientist, which tends to inhibit psychic faculties.

The American artist and psychic, Ingo Swann has, however, been successful under test conditions in reproducing accurately a drawing hid­den from view at the ceiling of the room. Uri Geller has this power also and, like the Russian woman Nelya Mikhailova, has demonstrated psy­chokinesis, the movement of solid objects by the power of mind.

The Yogis of India and the 'wisemen' of many races, including the Maoris, have used the powers of E.S.P. and there are people in every country who have successfully used precognition to predict the future.

The Power of Thought

Apart from E.S.P. the mind has even greater power of positive thought. Theosophy suggests that thoughts exist for a time period in pro­portion to the power used in their creation and that thoughts affect other people, other things, and the thought atmosphere of the world - which Jung calls 'collective unconsciousness’. We are also affected by our thoughts - we become what we think - so that we are creating our own future all the time.
