Notes
Traditional Ojibway accept telepathy as an established fact of communication between individuals and "dreamers." "I have been expecting you. I sent my thoughts to your farm, for my daughters' lodge is nearby. I wish to see her, but because I am as I am, I need help to get there and so I have sent my thoughts....That is the way of the Dreamers of the Ojibway. That is why Oona knew she must make the journey south..."[1]
The Winnebego peyote eaters accepted telepathy as part of the peyote experience. "Just then Harry Rave got up to speak, and no sooner did he get up, than I knew exactly what he was going to say. This must be the way of all peyote-eaters, I thought. I looked around me; and suddenly I realized that all these within the room knew my thoughts, and that I knew those of all the others."[2]
Telepathy is noted as a connection outcome in the Yoga Sastra of Hemacandra[3]
"The fortune of the blossoming flowers of the [fabulous] wishing tree of yoga consists of [supernatural attainments (labdhi), such as] walking in the air (caarana), the ability of curse and favour (asivisa), extra-ordinary perception (avadhi), and mind-reading (manahparyaya)."[4]
