Telepathy, Discussion

[Susan Ivanova]

Do you think Telepathy really exists? Please discuss.

Does Telepathy exist? Loaded question, yes. I would like to think it does in some form or other. Do I think science can determine its existense at this time, No. At this stage we are still learning about the brain, what makes it work and why. So does telepathy exist, yes. Can we prove it, No.

I read some books bout paranormality and I think today there's a level of empathy. There are very sensitive people with a higher "six sense". Just like mediums, they can perfectly feel or have flashes of other's memories. Forensics asked their help to solve cases. In one situation a mother of a young girl felt her daughter's friend had a car accident. It was true. I don't know if is connected with chackrans, but must be something energetic. It's a hell of a gift.
And if there are telepaths around, I don't think they would reveal it, people wouldn't believe, the midia would turn that into a circus, Las Vegas wouldn't sleep lol Again my 2 cents.

BTW...sorry to ask here but I didn't find another Topic about 2dry characters and telepathy.

Anyone noticed in the episode "Mind War" (with Ironheart) when Bester and his assistant arrives, there's a security officer at the entrance. Bester don't say a word but telepathicaly sends a request to the officer (so the guy announce their arrival to Sinclair).

How come a normal person heard Bester thoughts?
Telepathy (B5 Universe) consists in Receiving or Sending thoughts?

A Teep can send a thought to another Teep.
Non-Teeps cannot send a thought to another Non-Teep.
Non-Teeps can send a thought to a Teep (as the Teep "read minds")
If a Non-Teep can HEAR/CATCH the thought of a Teep, doesn't make a "mundane" a teep too? Basically the officer above was hearing Bester thoughts.

Ivanova's biggest fear was anyone discover she could 'hear' a telepath, just like she heard her mother. I read fanfictions and people understood it the same way, if Talia send a thought and Ivanova could catch it...Busted!

Am I really confused or ..ooops JMS (the great maker) forgot something there?
