Cellphones and Telepathy

By Trish Briggs

Through my lifetime, I have watched the amazing progression of telephones. Each technological advance embraces new freedoms and creates some new concerns. The difficulty sometimes lies in finding the value through the lens of these concerns.

Going down memory lane, for only a moment, I can recall my grandmother having a party line (where you shared the same phone line/number with neighbors). You had to monitor what you said because others on the line could hear you. You also had to minimize your time on the phone, because others might need the phone. I also recall the frustration of being tied to the location of the phone (landline), so most phone calls were brief and to the point. For the most part if I wanted social interaction, I arranged over the phone to meet somewhere to talk. Social interaction occurred away from the phone and in person

Each family member today has the privilege of having his/her/their own digital and portable phone with unique number…. No more party lines and there is freedom to move about.

There is now more dependence on our phones that did not exist with previous versions, especially for our younger and younger more techno-savvy generations. This is because they are minicomputers. Our lives are organized in these minicomputer phones. It is also our main source for today’s form of social engagement and conversation (texting) in our busy fast-paced world.

People talk less and text more. This inspires less physical one-on-one contact for communication, despite an increase in number of contacts around the world.

I was of the opinion initially, that it was through talking and listening, during this one-on-one contact and exchange, that we learned our communication skills. This process includes the verbal and nonverbal physical components. The nonverbal physical components are just as important as the verbal, and included things like intonation, body stance, facial expression, tilting of the head, etc. The same words have different interpretations when in combination with different nonverbal components.

I had a concern that a decrease in the actual one-on-one form of social interaction would result in a dramatic decreased ability to communicate with others effectively.

On the surface, texting is only words on another’s phone screen. There is no physical expression other than the words. There is no intonation, no tilting of the head, no smile or frown, etc. with the words. Emojis evolved to give the missing pictorial expression to the words.

I witnessed something amazing happen over a short period of time.

Emojis were no longer needed because people started becoming more proficient in deciphering the energy of text message.

They started knowing what the intonation was without hearing it. They started knowing if the other person was smiling or frowning without seeing it.

They reached out and connected telepathically (energetically)with the other person’s energy. They were reading the other person’s energy from a distance and did not need to be in the person’s presence to do so. This led to quicker, more accurate interpretations and understanding of written words in the text. This gave physical expression to the words through energetic means.

This shouldn’t have been surprising. From a quantum perspective, thoughts and words are energy. In simple terms, communication is an exchange of energy.  A good communicator reads the other person’s energy and modulates accordingly to improve understanding and interpretation. In the past, this energetic component was ignored and/or most were unaware it existed. The emphasis was more on the physical expression of communication.

I realized that when we remove the physical (one-on-one) component, we are forced to rely more heavily on energetic means (energetic means has always been there and connects everything). Cell phones gave us the opportunity to open the doorway to seeing and feeling energy (if we haven’t done so already) and expand our energy-reading skills. This skill allows us to reconnect and feel our connection to each other more profoundly on a deeper level.

We now anticipate when someone is in need and text them. Or the other person texts us when we are thinking or talking about them. Our connection is ever-present. We are gaining back some or our basic communication (telepathic) skills that we let go (didn’t need them) with the advent of the phone.

I can remember my maternal grandmother (before the common use of phones) telling me that she had a knowing about family births and deaths when they happened. Weeks, sometimes months later, she would receive a snail-mail letter confirming what she already knew. We are now re-establishing this type of connection with others through energetic means.

More importantly for me, is that where I thought there would be a loss in skills, we have been given a gateway with the new technology to develop other skills further. It was in a direction that I could not foresee or anticipate. Because things are not always what they seem on the surface, I remind myself to give change time and watch with an open mind to see what goodness can come out of it. What first concerns me, I may later applaud.
