Is talking telepathy possible? Yes

Did you try this? Did you ask a battalion of soldiers to help you, stay out of sight and earshot of them "reading a letter in telepathy" (after first asking them to write down whatever they "received" whilst you did so), then compare what each had written down with the letter you had "read telepathically" and discover that one third had written down exactly what you had read?

If not, then how can you possibly know this? On what basis are you making this claim?

No: Gi meg en battaljon med soldater og jeg vil lese et brev i telepati, og mange (1/3) av dem vil høre hva jeg leser.

glf5b, har du snakket med leger om telepati din? Hva er deres mening?

glf5b, have you spoken to doctors about your telepathy? What is their opinion?

Algerian (GMT +1) JREFer "abr" wanted to call people up to telepathetize them as well. He typed short, mangled, non-sentences with the single-minded focus of ensuring everyone that he was telepathetic.

Failed miserably in every attempt. Kept on truckin' though.

This new guy seems about as "interesting" in that nothing interesting will ever come of this and I'll eventually run afoul of the moderators for suggesting he get back on his meds.

Anyways...

glf5b: How do you propose you prove your magical powers? Wanna call somebody or something? Why do I bother? I'm thinking of a number between 4 and 19 and it's not 12, how many fingers don't I have?

All that gave me deja vu, exact same claims and sidesteps.

Did you read the thread here recently by a schizophrenic who'd examined all sorts of explanations for his experiences (including demonic possession and the CIA as well as paranormal abilities) before rationally concluding that he really was mentally ill?

Whether glf5b is mentally ill or not, I don't see what possible harm it could do to explain to him how to rationally investigate his experiences.

ETA: Here's the thread: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183830

glf5b: I strongly advise you to read it.

I agree all posts by Case are worth reading, he gave us all so much isight into his life and struggles.

What about the guy who talked a bunch of random crap about predicting natural disasters and posted a bunch of pictures with drawings of triangles and other absurd crap on them? That one was another lost case.

Is their "answering in telepathy" the sole evidence you have that they can hear you? Because if it is, I think I see a problem with your claim.

I think this is the crux of the problem. What he is experiencing may have little to do with reality outside his own head.

Besides, we rarely seem to "cut slack" for the mentally competent when they (we) are making invalid claims, using fallacious reasoning, or working from incorrect data.

Nor should we. However, mentally competent people make certain choices about what their own standards of truth are...the mentally ill have no such choice.

I think that if there's a chance that he is actually hallucinating and has lost touch with reality, it would be cruel to pile onto him.
 
glf5b, please consider the advise you are getting here. If you have an extraordinary ability, it is always a good thing to rule out the ordinary explanations before you start testing the extraordinary explanations.
If I understand the other posters correctly (I am no doctor either), schizophrenia belongs to the ordinary explanations, and it is easy to check. Go to a psychiatrist, and tell him/her in Norwegian, what you are trying to tell us in English. In your own language it must be easier to get your message across. I really hope you will do this before you start testing your telepathy involving other people.

I haven't played "Devil's Advocate" in awhile.
I feel compelled to do it here and now, in the name of sciency stuff:

Being a fan of exotic hypothesises (hyponthenee?) in cosmology, including multi-verses and strings that ooze potential parrellel universes, which is fundamentally oxy-moronic, if you think about it...

Anyway, here's my beef:

Cosmology and astro-physics is much more open; much more liberal, in a way, and, thankfully, much less set in it's ways, as per what is the truth of the situation.

And some point, the math will allow violations. Hell, it already does. The sacred "C" has become a nuisance to the imagination, frankly.
Increasingly, it is the imagination that creates the latest challange to our understanding, as well as to our need for 'truthiness' in general.

Hence,

At some point, we should start to suspect some weirdos. Woosters. They will appear as woosters.

Yet among them will be the time-travelers from the future. If there are any.
Time travel can be discussed, in a vaguely civil manner here; very intelligent people contribute to the discussion.

Yet,

If a time-traveler actually showed-up here, at JREF, which is where I would go, if I was one...well,

its all humiliation. Science will crucify itself in this regard.
Imagine being an emissary from an other dimension; a universe with slightly different 'laws' (keep in mind,uber-geeks discuss the possibilities without any need to go particularly woo-ish...You would be desperate to show the scientists the odd loop-hole of your universe; how it deviates from your laws...yet, the observations from our universe, by the sanest and smartest geeks (ya'll, for instance) would necessarily dis-allow the data.

would someone please 'nom' this post? In spite of itself?
 
quarky,
That was not very well expressed. Have you ever considered editing your own verbal spewage? Or, are you simply going straight at the paradoxical? As if paradox was an essential flavor of quarks?

I involve other people all the time around me with my "talking telepathy."
The problem is getting people involved in testing this. Because we have more telepathic channels, it is difficult to satisfy the requirements of the number of hits. And who are certified testers.
 
glf5b,

Have you been to this website?: http://www.humanisterna.se/

This is the website of a Swedish skeptical group. If you go to that site and search for "Kristallkulan" you will find the page for their paranormal test. This link might take you directly there, but maybe not: http://www.humanisterna.se/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=27&Itemid=49

Anyway, this is a nearby group that can help you test your abilities. And if you pass the test, you get some money, so everybody's happy.

Also, while Norwegian and Swedish are not the exact same language, I think it will be easier for you to communicate with them.

Good Luck,
Ward

The requirement for the number of hits is just that it be consistently better than chance. You can work only with people who you have already determined to be on your "telepathic channel" if you like.

And who are certified testers.

First do the sort of methodical test we have been describing and see what the results are yourself. Only if you get a better-than-chance result do you need to start thinking about repeating the test in front of certified testers.

I've been on their side and they offered 100 000 SEK and they are Christian. The absence of well just that they think I'm mesias, I can speak from above directly into the minds of many people. It's not that far to go for testing, about 800 km. It must be the area of telepathic communication with other people.
 
glf5b,

I have understood most of what you have written in this thread, but your latest post baffles me.

Well, to take mesias:

Mesías, in Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (maschíaj), means “Anointed”. The Greek equivalent is χριστός (Kjristós), or Christ.
