@ Syne,
I will again tell the story of my introduction to telepathy.
When I was 17 years old I read a book by Harold Sherman entitled "How to make ESP work for you". In it he described successful telepathy experiments involving sleeping recipients. The experiment was known to both parties and they exchanged roles of sender and sendee. Since I was 17 and curious, I wanted to try this but instead chose a person who had vanished from our circle of friends many months earlier. I stayed awake and from 2-3am I imagined this girl and repeated this phrase out loud, "Debby (last name here), (My name here) misses you very much. Get in touch.". After about 40 minutes I felt more relaxed and knew the message was received yet continued for the full hour.
So What occurred ...
5 days later I received a letter postmarked from New York State (I live in Canada). The letter was a bit odd as it gave hint after hint of who the sender was, but I knew from the moment my parents told me a letter arrived. It mentioned a "Toga Party", etc., that we had attended together in the previous year.
The final sentence of the first page said, "I had a dream about you that prompted me to write.".
This was likely the only mailed letter I ever received from a girl in my teens. The experiment not only worked, it worked in a very astounding way.
I realize it may seem easy for skeptics to ignore the entirety of psychic research because it is associated with charlatans and frauds, but there are also some very interesting experiments.
I was privileged enough to view the Maimonides videos. The Maimonides dream telepathy experiments, which have shown some apparent success were also using sleeping subjects. I now think more success occurs if you hit a dream state.

While I agree it will be many years or even centuries before we are able to measure/prove telepathy, I do not find it possible to believe that psi does not exist, and I do not think science should be discounted unless it can be proven something (telepathy in this case) does not exist.
I am now middle aged. It has been many years since I was 17 and yet I have been able to replicate and teach this simplest of experiments to many. It does not always work, but when it does it works in astounding ways that are witnessed and beyond well beyond chance.
I had even suggested everyone spend a whole hour and try this themselves as empirical proof to yourself can alter your views on a very important subject. What can be more important than knowing we can communicate with our minds at least on some levels? This means thoughts can exist outside ourselves. It means mass consciousness is real. It could even be the realm of a god(s).
My belief is not without warrant. I am educated in applied sciences and am a retired Soil Engineer. The experiments I speak of were not imagined, and every psychic experiment must have a witness by its very nature.
When I was young I thought I could get a book out of the library that would explain how telepathy worked, but since it is not accepted mainstream there are no accepted methods for it to work. This is problematic for me as I need a Universal Theory that will incorporate telepathy, and is why I find the ideas of Russellian science so appealing.
I feel sorry for those of you who have not had opportunities to witness psychic phenomenon, because when it happens to you there is no doubt it worked. I am forced to feel skeptics in these instances are foolish to deny the odds (There are if you look in the right kind of experiments).
So...
Karl Jung ideas on Synchronicity are written off by Skeptics as was Sigmund Freuds views. Sigmund Freud believed he could telepathically communicate with his sister in another city, but as the founder of modern psychology his views on telepathy needed to be quashed or ridiculed.
Synchronicity is now called "sync"'s by practitioners of law of attraction who believe (rightly so) that your mind attracts what it thinks about.
If you hear an odd quote like Shakespeares witches,
and you dwell on it for a length of time or study it, then you are thinking of it. This type of thinking will draw it into your life (my beliefs), and you may tune into that scene while switching channels or hear it on the radio. These they call "sync"'s.
Denying telepathy is possible is not scientific because those making the claim have no proof of this. I think it is silly. I understand the burden of proof remains, but I would not hold your breath on it unless you conduct your own experiments.
Anyways. I argue for the existence of Telepathy, so I argue for a Mass Consciousness causing Synchronicity/Miracles all over the place. Coincidences can often be very strange, and I argue we are behind it on subconscious levels.
I have also run a membership based paranormal website for the past 15 years. I have developed a new way to retrieve subconscious information by using seemingly identical pictures with imperceptible information hidden within. The choices are given in high repetition and answers are weighed. This eliminates the movements necessary for using Dowsing rods/pendulums/quija boards/etc. My method is the first practical improvement on this front in thousands of years (to my knowledge), and is the basis of my website which contains over 800 . This is not a subject I am not well versed in. Telepathy is real.
