I just wouldn't describe it as telepathy. Telepathy, and other "psychic" stuff, has a specific meaning and falls under the category of pseudoscience. If it's something where a person is experiencing a divine vision or something...I'd just rather not mince words, and I'd call it a 'vision'. I wouldn't couch it in pseudo-scientific terminology.Telepathy seems like the perfect form of communication between a "spiritual" being and a human being.
Yes and no. Prayers are, technically, 'talking to' a deity or other entity.Do you actually talk to your gods?
'Talking with' is rarer, but I've done that too. See below for details.
Actually, you have been questioning me about my experiences from the first response you had to my post.I'm willing to give your experiences the benefit of doubt, yet when something happens to someone else you call in science?
Yes and no. In the cases I'm referring to, a deity or spirit took possession of another person and spoke through them. I've engaged in conversation in this manner. They're not 'invisible', but they're not in a corporeal form all their own, either.These direct encounters... are you actually talking to an invisible being?
Other people of my religion, however, do claim to have engaged in conversation with corporeal manifestations of spirits or gods, some of which are not visible to others. I'm sceptical of their assertions, though. In the same way that I'm sceptical of yours. And in the same way that I'd expect and hope others to be sceptical about mine. Scepticism is a good thing. It means you're capable of critical thinking.
