Hello unThinkMe. Your question is right on the money. I thought about this myself. My best understanding is that this is a slow-moving beast. I can’t explain it fully. But the answer draws parallels with the following:
4.5 billion years ago the Earth was composed of rock, the result of an aggregation of space debris. The paradigmatic model is that icy asteroids then bombarded early Earth, providing the planet with the water it currently enjoys. A chemical reaction involving rock, water and sunlight eventually resulted in abiogenesis (or some proto form of life, in the form of self-replicating molecules). Billions of years later you are walking on the surface of the Earth, with the components of your body having ultimately emerged from the rock beneath your feet. The rocks took billions of years to convert into you. If you had a multi-billion-year photo album, with each page of the album representing a successively earlier ancestor, then, generation after generation, eventually you would have a picture of a rock in your photo album. But why did we need this slow-moving evolutionary unfolding to get to you? Why did we need literally billions of years to create something as magical as you? To my mind, this is the same question you’re asking re James Randi. Why can’t we just have clear, demonstrable evidence of telepathy? My shaky understanding is that we are just starting, as a collective, to be ready for this paradigm shift. We simply can’t ignore the disenchantment that is rife in modern society. We have this gut feeling that there is more but we can’t seem to properly formulate what our instincts are telling us.
I don’t know which country you’re from, but in Australia one in seven people are, at any given time, on medication for chronic depression. And if you include medication for anxiety, then the number of medicated people for anxiety / depression increases to one in six. This is quite a mind-blowing statistic. It’s a frightening trajectory if the status quo prevails.
The autistic people with telepathic abilities are indicating that we need to make this shift now. The time is ripe to move away from the materialist / physicalist paradigm to a new (idealist?) paradigm.
Perhaps you should watch the James Randi space closely over coming months. We’re on the cusp of something here, and my sense is that it’s a stunningly beautiful shift that is about to take place. The flatland view of reality is about to be upheaved. You can take it from me, at least, that there is something enchanting about Tier 3. There is a depth to reality that simply is not present at Tiers 1 and 2. There is a wholeness and a moral clarity that cannot be described very well with words. But the autistic people capture the essence of it: love, love, love. The absence of universal love and the failure to realise that we are, at base, all the one thing (whatever it is) act as roadblocks to telepathy. I can give you a first-hand guarantee that telepathy is a real phenomenon. It’s just very awkward and childish-sounding to try to put these things into words.
The tide is changing. These are exciting times to be alive, particularly if you’re under the age of 70.
