________________ 70 Hermann Kuhn sively with external knowledge and how it connects to sense-perception. - Clairvoyance and telepathy (avadhi) - provide insights into regions of our life that are not accessible through the senses or by studying external knowledge. Our present society regards clairvoyance and telepathy as such bizarre abilities that even the esoterically inclined have the opinion that this requires a rare and extravagant talent. Yet as exotic and strange this channel might appear to us, as natural and spontaneous do we apply it in our daily life. Telepathy for example is nothing other than wordless communication. It is the ability to sense the intentions and emotions of others without first perceiving the respective words, looks or gestures. We employ telepathy when we e.g. enter a room in which a group of people is meeting. Without a word being spoken, we perceive if the atmosphere is positive or negative, whether the group is open to newcomers or regards our entering as intrusion, and often we even feel what the subject of the meeting might be and the direction the debate is taking We experience telepathy when we steer a car and our passenger says 'go right', but means 'left', and we correctly turn left. Telepathy is the wordless understanding between two persons who e.g. observe the self-portrayal of an acquaintance at a party and - without needing to exchange words or even looks - know exactly what the other one is feeling in this situation.
