she could see a crowd gathering near the shore. She knew without going a step further that her
husband had drowned.
On May 19, 1931, a nurse reported a similar telepathic crisis linkage for the Journal of the Society for
Psychical Research.
Shortly before she was to go on night duty, Miss Margaret Jones was awakened by a voice calling:
"Margaret, Margaret." She had a distinct impression that someone rushed into her room and back out
again.
Puzzled, she got out of bed and looked down the corridor. There was no one in sight. Not being able
to determine any reason for alarm, Miss Jones began to get dressed. It must have been a maid who had
awakened her for duty, she thought. But she was still mystified, especially in view of the fact that no
one at the hospital had ever called her by her first name.
When she finally looked at her clock, she saw that she had been awakened at 5:30 A.M. As the night
nurses were not usually awakened until 7:30, Miss Jones sat down on her bed completely baffled.
Later, while she was on duty, Miss Jones received a telegram that informed her that her niece had
passed away at 5:30 A.M. When she went to be with her sister in her sorrow, she learned that the child
had suddenly taken ill, and although an immediate operation had been performed, she had only lived
for a few hours. As she lay dying, the child had called out: "Margaret, Margaret."
These two cases bear out the contention that telepathy (and ESP in general) functions best between
individuals who have a strong emotional link. This particular level of man's mind seems to operate
best spontaneously, especially when a crisis situation makes it necessary to communicate through
other than the standard sensory channels.
Parapsychologists have long been aware that twins show unusually high telepathic rapport. A series of
tests conducted by psychologists at the University of Alberta, Canada, confirmed this theory by
establishing statistical evidence that identical twins, and to a lesser extent, fraternal twins, have
remarkable ability to communicate with one another through ESP.
At the behest of Dr. J.B. Rhine of Duke University, Mrs. Olivia Rivers, a psychologist at Mississippi
State University, conducted tests with identical twins, Terry and Sherry Young. The pretty Jackson,
Mississippi, twins were able to pass entire sentences to each other via telepathy. The girls seemed to
be in constant rapport and even when separated, each knew if the other had turned an ankle, got a,
toothache, or developed a cold. Sherry was better as the receiver, Terry as the sender.
Their school-teachers despaired of ever receiving an accurate test from either girl. Even when placed
in separate classrooms the girls still used similar phrases and got similar marks. They made no secret
of the fact that they helped one another in their school work, but insisted that it was by telepathy
alone. It was not cheating to them, nor could anyone consider it as being unfair or dishonest of the
girls. It was not their fault if their minds functioned as one.
In an article by Jhan and June Robbins, "Can Twins Read Each Others' Minds?" which appeared in
the January 28, 1962, issue of This Week, Dr. Robert Sommer is quoted as saying: "Identical twins
obviously share the closest possible relationship that can embrace two human beings. They actually
started out as a single individual - and they have the same mental and physical attributes."
Dr. Sommer and his associates studied several twins whose ages ranged from 16 to 50. Their
interviews disclosed that fully one-third of the twins had had "psi" experiences with their "other
halves."
Occasionally a strange case comes to light where twins have separated at birth, grow up unaware that
they even have a twin, yet, when confronted with their "double" several years later, are amazed that
their lives have ostensibly followed one path.
The Tacoma, Washington, News Tribune, January 12, 1959, carried one such incredible story.
Margaret Judson, who grew up in Vancouver, was repeatedly baffled whenever, as a member of the
Canadian Women's Army Corps, she was sent to Toronto. Here people persisted in calling her
"Marion" and told her that she had a double living in that city. After her term of service, Margaret
returned to Toronto, determined to track down her alleged duplicate.
When "Margaret" at last faced "Marion" across the counter of a department store, they were both
wearing similar brown suits. Startled at being confronted with their mirror-image, the women soon
determined over 21 astonishing parallels in their lives. They, had been born twins in Toronto in 1924
and put out for adoption. Neither had ever been told that she had a twin sister. In the same month that
Margaret had joined the CWAC, Marion had tried to join up but had failed.
Both had been expert roller skaters in their teens. They had, in their geographically separated but
psychically united lives, both taken piano lessons, sung alto in church choirs, had their tonsils
removed in the same year. They had both married sailors who were the same age, size, weight, and
build, who had been in the service four years, and had decided upon the navy as a career.
When they met in the department store, they had been wearing similar brown suits. As a weird capper,
the next time that they met, both women wore identical plaid skirts and similar heart-shaped lockets,
which had been gifts from their foster mothers on their 21st birthdays!
Daily newspapers repeatedly carry stories of twins who have received identical injuries at the same
time. I once knew twin sisters who even bore identical skin blemishes as they progressed through
puberty.
A Chicago telephone company employee, unaware that he had a twin, had been called "Fred" by
strangers often enough to arouse his curiosity. His parents admitted that he had been an adopted son
and had an identical twin. He found his twin in Topeka, Kansas where both men were astonished to
learn that they were both employed by Bell Telephone, had married in the same year to girls of a
similar nature and type. In addition to having received the same kind of education in homes of similar
background and having married women of the same general type, each had a four-year-old son and a
fox terrier named Trixie.
Experiments with twins are offering "psi" researchers their greatest proofs of telepathy. These
astonishing demonstrations have done much to break down the intellectual resistance built up by
many physical scientists and have opened the door for the tentative acceptance of other "psi"
phenomena into the domain of accepted knowledge.
Remarkable experiments have also been conducted with primitive peoples to test the hypothesis that
telepathy is an archaic means of communication, which, although remaining as a vestigial function of
mind, was once the sole method for conveying ideas.
It has been observed that the primitive bushmen in Australia can accurately transmit thoughts,
feelings, and ideas to friends and relatives several miles away. They also use "psi" abilities to locate
missing objects, straying cattle, and thieving enemies. The bushmen live a Stone Age existence. Their
normal sensory abilities have been heightened by their struggle for survival. Their eyes can identify
objects at great distances without the aid of field glasses. Their powers of smell are probably on a par
with that of a sensitive collie. Their ESP talents are even more remarkable.
Dr. A.P. Elkin, an anthropologist from Sydney University, was forced to re-arrange some of his
scientific thinking after he had conducted some studies among the bushmen. In his Aboriginal Men of
High Degree, Dr. Elkin writes that although his arrival was never announced by messenger, drums, or
smoke signals, each village was prepared for his arrival, knew where he had just come from, and was
aware of the purpose of his wilderness trek. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
