2. Telepathy our Lost Sense

By Dr Dianne Cartwright

Once I had established that telepathy is common and probably a natural ability of humans three questions sprang to mind: Is telepathy real? How does it work? What does it mean?

These questions led to the book falling into three parts with a fourth devoted to ESP phenomena associated with distortions of time — seeing ghosts and seeing the future. Throughout the book the stories of my patients and myself are interwoven with the science illuminating the clues about the nature of telepathy.

Is telepathy real?

As part of the survey, my patients were asked: “When answering the phone, have you known who was calling before you answered?” And the mirror question: “When you phoned someone, did the respondent ever say, ‘Oh, I was just thinking of you!’” 

These two simple questions provided a wealth of information for analysis about the nature of telepathy and who is telepathic.  The question of whether telepathy is real, or just a coincidence, is put to rest.

How does telepathy work? 

 My personal experiences yielded clues which enabled my quantum physicist friend to suggest that ‘thought messages’ are carried by electromagnetic radiation to our brain, which acts as an antenna for such radiation.

The reader is taken on a gentle journey through the underlying science encompassing electromagnetic radiation; the role of the neurones, brain waves and the coding of brainwaves to carry information and to form thoughts.  The newly discovered sense of the earth’s magnetic field shared by animals and humans is integral to telepathic ability.  A part of the brain circuitry is described which could both broadcast and receive thoughts transmitted by Extremely Low Frequency electromagnetic radiation (called ELF waves) produced by lightning.  The sharing of information originating outside our brain is explored through early experimentation on animals and later Brain-Computer-Interfacing in humans.  EEG’s of adepts pinpointed the areas of the brain involved and remote viewing revealed how the brain processes and interprets ‘virtual’ information arriving telepathically.  

What does telepathy mean?  

This idea that telepathic thoughts are conveyed by electromagnetic waves enabled understanding of many stories, such as visitations of the dying to their loved ones and possibly some of the characteristics of near-death experience. It seems that the brain is involved in other psychic phenomena such as psychokinesis and out-of-body experiences.

Distortions of time — ghosts and clairvoyance

Some of my patients had vivid experiences with ghosts, but more were clairvoyant — i.e. seeing future events.  Both require an ability to see into time.  This has been a major focus of research in the parapsychology field and the significant findings are discussed in the book, in Part IV.


My dream in writing this book is to make this wonderful story of our brain’s ability to communicate with another person at a distance available to all humankind. It is a dream to relieve fear of these abilities, to open the eyes of those who have no personal experiences of this nature, to enlighten the sceptics and to encourage the scientists to pursue and investigate this old and hidden resource we possess.
