TELEPATH: SPIRIT MIND

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Telepathy (from the ancient Greek τηλε, tele meaning “distant” and πάθη, pathe or patheia meaning “feeling, perception, passion, affliction, experience”) is the supposed transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction.

Telepathy is commonly used in fiction, with a number of superheroes and supervillains, as well as figures in many science fiction novels, etc., use telepathy. Notable fictional telepaths include the Jedi in Star Wars.  The use of  “The Force”, which enables the use of the spirit to influence the physical universe.  The inspiration for Star Wars was based largely on the much earlier science fiction books of E.E. Smith, most especially in the six books of THE LENSMEN SERIES, first published in 1948.

The mechanics of telepathy in fiction vary widely. Some fictional telepaths are limited to receiving only thoughts that are deliberately sent by other telepaths, or even to receiving thoughts from a specific other person. For example, in Robert A. Heinlein’s 1956 novel Time for the Stars, certain pairs of twins are able to send telepathic messages to each other.

In A. E. van Vogt’s science fiction novel Slan, the mutant hero Jommy Cross can read the minds of ordinary humans. Some telepaths can read the thoughts only of those they touch, such as Vulcans in the Star Trek media franchise. Star Trek science consultant and writer André Bormanis, has revealed that telepathy within the Star Trek universe works via the “psionic field.” According to Bormanis, a psionic field is the “medium” through which unspoken thoughts and feelings are communicated through space. Some humanoids can tap into this field through a kind of sense organ located in the brain; in the same manner that human eyes can sense portions of the electromagnetic field, telepaths can sense portions of the psionic field. In the book “Eragon“, Eragon can communicate through his mind with almost anyone, including his dragon Saphira, but it is possible to block people from one’s mind with a barrier.

In the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling, telepathy is a magical skill known as Legilimency. In the John Wyndham novel The Chrysalids, the main character and narrator David Strorm is one of a group of nine telepaths. In Anthony Horowitz’s Power of Five series twins Jamie and Scott Tyler were born with telepathic powers that enable them to read people’s minds and, ultimately, control them.

FINAL INTERVIEW

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

The desire to be liked or admired by other people is a trap.  The pain and tragedy caused by this desire for admiration or approval is painfully obvious in this  final interview with Janis Joplin recorded 4 days before her death in 1970.   Also, below, a performance of “Ball n Chain” by Janis Joplin.

(Janis Lyn Joplin — January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970 — was an American singer-songwriter who first rose to prominence in the late 1960s as the lead singer of the psychedelic-acid rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company. She was one of the more popular acts at the Monterey Pop Festival and later became one of the major attractions to the Woodstock festival. Popular songs from her four-year solo career include “Down on Me”, “Summertime”, “Piece of My Heart”, “Ball ‘n’ Chain”, “Maybe”, “To Love Somebody”, “Kozmic Blues”, “Work Me, Lord”, “Cry Baby”, “Mercedes Benz”, and her only number one hit, “Me and Bobby McGee”. )

BALL N CHAIN, performed by Janis Joplin  (after you listen to this song, you will understand why “love” is a “ball and chain”!)
