Just as we transmit or send out these thought waves, we also receive thought transmissions of other souls. We receive them like a radio and respond to them unconsciously as though they were our own thoughts.

Mastery of life will find the greatest challenge in learning to refine the art of discernment of what are my own thoughts and those of someone else. 

Do We All Perceive Alike?
No. There is the intuitive person who will pick up a thought and hear it. Understanding is very important to them. There is the visionary who will pick up a thought and see it.  He is sometimes considered clairvoyant. There is the prophetic person who receives a thought as a knowing. This type is usually sensitive to precognition and his/her hunches, dreams and inner knowing. There is a person who picks up a thought and translates it into feeling. Their sense of touch is extremely well-developed and they know people by feeling what they feel.  Each of us lives primarily by one of these personality types and partially by the other three. Understanding these types can help us to understand ourselves and those around us to a greater extent.

Is ESP Religious
It is neither religious nor non-religious.  It is the common experience of all people. In the religious field, people have talked about prayer and the reality of hearing the answer to prayer.  We read of “the still small voice,” “the Father speaking from within,” or inner guidance. This reality can be developed so those from a religious sense people can, through meditation, develop a two-way communication. We also read of visions, prophecies and healings.
