I've made it through the first 7 episodes of the Telepathy Tapes podcast and it has triggered a lot of reflection for me. Several things ring true to my life's experiences. I know that we cannot enter into God's presence if we are unclean (Revelation 21:27, 3 Nephi 27:19). One of the participants in Ky's study said "you don't get these gifts if you lie." And it has caused me to think, what if the only thing holding us back from these greater spiritual gifts is our sins? Or what if the way to access higher communication is through love? I know that the spirit speaks to me with thoughts, feelings, and on rare occasions with actual words in my mind that were not my own. So, in that sense I have experienced telepathy from another spirit, and it makes sense to me that it is possible for an omniscient God to read my thoughts. I pray in my mind and believe that God hears me. So what if the closer we become like Him, the more able we are to share in these gifts?
I have also experienced a connection with siblings and my spouse where we have been thinking the same thing and a connection with my pets where I feel like I can tell what they are thinking or feeling. It also makes sense to me that the gift of tongues works in this manner.
My guess is that we access the ability to connect to someone else's energy and thoughts not only with their permission but also through our love for them. When someone is born with a handicap like autism, I think they have already passed their mortal test and are here just to get a body and teach the rest of us something.
