Telepathy: Excerpts from Session 136 Seth Material

"The thought originally held by A is still retained by A, yet a seemingly identical thought reaches B. A has lost nothing. That is, in trying to send the thought, in trying to duplicate the thought A still retains it. So what is passed on to receiver B? This is rather important, since an explanation will do much to account for the frequent difference that occurs in telepathic communications. As soon as the attempt is made to duplicate the thought, we find the attempt itself strains and pulls; the impulse changes minutely, orto a greater degree. The point I want to make is that any attempt at duplication actually forces the impulses to line up in a different pattern. When B receives the thought it is already a new thought, bearing great resemblance to the original. But it is not the original thought. Now when receiver B receives a transmitted thought, he may react and interpret that part of the thought that is similar to the original. He may on the other hand, react to and interpret that portion of the thought that is not similar. He may react to and interpret the similarity of the difference. His reactions depend upon several circumstances, including the intensity of the electrical pulsations that compose the thought, and his own inner facility in reacting to particular ranges and intensities. The nature of the thought that is received by B is determined by many factors. We shall consider but a few of these. These include the original intensity of the thought as A possesses it; A's ability to duplicate the thought as far as possible; the familiarity or unfamiliarity of the range of frequencies that compose the thought to any intended receiver. To repeat: our imaginary sender A does not transmit a given thought. He does not even send an exact duplicate. Nor does the receiver receive the thought in the same condition. The original thought is retained by A. A forms a thought as nearly identical as the possibilities allow it to be. Then he transmits to B. But B can't receive the thought in its present condition, for the action of receiving the thought also changes it. He forms a thought as nearly identical as possible for him and interprets it."
