Can telepathy help us reach aliens if God doesn`t?

If distances are too great, and you can never travel at the speed of light, could telepathy be the solution? We come from the universe, we feel connected to it, they say that if you really want something, the entire universe will help you with it. I mean, maybe if everyone on Earth wanted it, you could send out energy that aliens would pick up. It might not be possible to reach them physically anyway

Plenty of aliens right here on Earth can be reached just by speaking out loud. No need for telepathy .

The Christian Bible tells us that both good and bad aliens are on Earth -- good and bad angels. They can easily be contacted and often are.

I saw an documentary on tv about angels in the bible, they said, they were added later on. So basically, angels, are invented later, what is your take on it?

There is no plausible way to communicate with extraterrestrial intelligences that way, because telepathy works by means of a focused neural-field resonance (NFR), a biological field generated by human brains that can entangle and synchronize with similar NFRs generated by others nearby, allowing for direct information exchange (i.e., apart from sensory or verbal channels) through quantum coherence in neuronal microtubules.

The problem with your scenario is twofold:
  • Low bandwidth. Only basic ideas, images, or emotions can be conveyed through NFR telepathy, as anything more complex cannot survive the transmission without decoherence.
  • Decay of resonant field interactions. NFRs decay rapidly with distance and time (due to an inverse square law and signal interference), limiting their range to less than 30 meters (100 feet).
And let's not forget the fact that your brain already consumes 20 percent of your body's energy at rest, so generating a neural field intense enough to encode and project complex thoughts would be metabolically expensive and unsustainable. There is also resonance fatigue, a debilitating side effect of exertion or overuse. Symptoms can include headaches, nausea, memory loss, temporary aphasia or stuttering, hallucinations, and ultimately identity erosion or personality fragmentation via neural burn-in (i.e., pathological imprinting, or intrusive thought-looping). We need to pass a piece of legislation to enforce consensual resonance protocols, but that's almost impossible in light of widespread public skepticism about the existence of NFR telepathy.

Why would you want to use telepathy and what purpose would you have in communicating with aliens? And if they aren’t as you suspect what will you do? If you open the door you’re responsible for what follows. Who will assist if you’ve taken on more than you can handle?

they say that if you really want something, the entire universe will help you with it.

This is probably true but not everything you want will sustain your body and soul. If what you seek is death, it will be given to you. If what you seek is life, it will be given to you as well.

How can you know? :o

Because God's creation is angelic beings, animals, bugs, fish, etc... and humans. Plus one other set of beings (all male) that were the offspring of fallen angels and human women, the nephilim.

How would one know if one reached a being from another planet and not a figment one's imagination?

Information cannot be transmitted faster than might so no.

I’d love for this to be true.

...and how would you know this...? :grin:

I would have started with, 'The Bible tells us... " Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4; Acts 17:26; 1 Corinthians 15:39-41
However, that's just me, and how a few others answer questions, that the Bible answers... in imitating Jesus, who would say, "It is written..." "Is it not written...?"
That way, people will see that it's not one's opinion, but it is the word of God, which is the authority on what is the truth.

Your answer is in agreement with the Bible.
I'm not being naughty, am I? :smile:
Seriously though, this comes up often, so it's good to lay it to rest in people's minds, once and for all, and the Bible should do that.

Well i could have gone full out Biblical creation and there are no aliens. Because God's creation described in The Bible. There is no planets or outer space where an alien may come from. God's creation is heaven (sky) and the earth (land/ground) where the in heaven (sky) the sun, moon and stars were placed by God to given light to the earth, etc....

But i instead just went with a creation focused on the living beings that God has created and aliens are not listed as being part of God's act of creation.

We appreciate you did not change the subject and run off on a flat earth tangent. Thanks. :smile:

Staying focused, is important. Jesus could quote the entire Hebrew scriptures, perhaps word for word, but he just quoted what was relevant at the moment.
For example, the Devil told him about bread, and he quoted Deuteronomy 8:3
The Devil told him about worship... Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:13

When we remember that it is the word of God that's most important, like Jesus, we pinpoint those scriptures when relevant, and use them... staying focused... like Jesus.

I agree with you.

Every believer should laugh in the face of that belief, when the idea that there are aliens, but too bad science has seen to that, that alien life may be a possibility.
