OK, we decided on shamathy due to the fact we have achieved something a bit more than what telepathy is.
We seem to be the only two connected. Whenever my friend has an emotion, a facial expression such as smiling, I feel it. It's as if the muscles of my own face are feeling the exact same facial expressions as her. My friend doesn't have this ability however, she has something a little different. She knows all my thoughts, so any thought I have she has. Then there is the ability to just talk to each other like normal conversations. We're connected 100% of the time and the furtherest distance we've been away and had no problems communicating is roughly 250km apart. We've been connected about 6 months knowingly now.
We are assuming at this point we will continue to be connected and able to communicate no matter how far we are apart.
