When we intuitivelyknow that something is happening, or about to happen, our instinct has kicked in. We are drawing upon resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.心灵感应是不用五官感觉(视觉、听觉、触觉、嗅觉、味觉)来进行交流的一种能力。
它是我们许多人体内潜在的一种本能。
在紧急关头或是需要的时候, 我们常常都能激发出这种潜能。
当我们凭直觉知道某些事情正在发生或即将发生时, 我们的本能就已发生作用了。
我们正在利用无意识意念中的资源。
当两个人的无意识意念资源相互联系而达到同步时, 我们称之为"心灵感应"。
