Occasionally, you will find people who can hear you directly. My first conscious experience with telepathy was as a beginning clairvoyant student many years ago. I remember my first meeting with one of my teachers, an amazing intuitive named Lewis Bostwick. He chuckled, and suddenly I realized that this running commentary in my head was actually broadcasting out . . Lewis nodded and said Thank you, . . . and went on with our verbal conversation as if nothing extraordinary had happened.
Many people communicate telepathically with animals, too.
Several years ago, I experienced an amazing telepathic connection with one of the dolphins at the Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco. Telepathically, I asked her to let me know that she could really hear me, by going to the opposite corner of the tank and playing with a ball that the dolphins had been ignoring. Seconds after my request, the dolphin was at the other end of the tank, playfully scooting the ball across the water and making a big show of it. A few minutes later, she slowly cruised by my position at the window, one eye focused directly on me. The key to telepathy with anyone, especially an animal, is to keep it VERY light.
