Few people today have "special" abilities, but they will increase in time. There are reasons why many people in the past had these abilities. There's nothing unnatural about "magic" abilities like telepathy, seeing-through-walls, telekinesis, healing, seeing-into-the-future/past; they are merely things we don't understand yet, and will not understand in a long time. Telekinesis uses the same principle as when you move your body.
If you want to send a telepathic message, you have to think about the person you want to send it to, concentrate on him and think that 'I am he and he is me' until you feel as him. Feel that his hands are your hands, that you are his body etc. then be him and think the thought you want to "send". But if he doesn't know that you're going to send a thought, he will not hear it or recognize it, since he must be empty of thoughts first. If he heard it, he would most likely think it's his own thought. This means that some of the thoughts we think are our own, might be from "another" source.
(it works best at sunset, since the radiation of the sun is disturbs the spirit and awakens the body. Living creatures can't reach the higher states of the spirit consciously, so they fall asleep)
Later when you devolop, you will hear every thought of all humans without needing to empty yourself, also on the day. This is much better than using a telephone. You can even use a persons body to walk around as if it were "you" (because everything is just one "self") but you must not do evil with your abilities, any of them, even with "normal abilities", for it will have disasterous consequences. Everything used in its right place and time is a good action. It's Ok to control animals if you like, if you have need for that.
Humans will not learn abilities like telepathy in a long time.
