Could Quantum Entanglement Explain Telepathic Communication?
A few years ago, an experiment allowed a test subject in India to communicate with someone in France without speaking or typing. Later that year, another group developed a telepathic interface that allowed two people to collaborate using their minds to play a video game. But these telepathic modalities for our tech gadgets seem analog compared to the psychic telepathy many of us experience at some point in our lives. Could quantum entanglement bridge the gap?
Telepathy Research
Brain-to-brain communication, or what most of us might call telepathy, is currently being developed to build more advanced, convenient interfaces for technology we use today. Though it’s pretty slow at the moment, these interfaces may soon be used to telepathically manipulate wireless devices, control prosthetics, and communicate in new ways.
Our brains are an intricate network of neurons and synapses transmitting electrical signals that become memories, commands, and ideas. And when these neurons transmit data back and forth, they in turn create brain waves, or synchronous oscillations that aggregate and transfer information across different segments of the brain.
Today, those brain waves can be externally translated through the use of electroencephalography, or an EEG cap. These swim caps dotted with electrodes continuously measure the brain’s electric signals in different regions, translating them to data that can pinpoint where in the brain those signals are coming from and what their general intentions are.
In a 2014 experiment, researchers made a breakthrough with a new interface that allowed signals from an individual’s brain to manipulate a robotic exoskeleton, allowing a once-paralyzed man to deliver the opening kick at the World Cup. Scientists involved in these experiments believe they portend a future in which this technology becomes so common, that we will surf the internet and manipulate our devices using thought alone.
So, Does Telepathy Exist?
In this sense, telepathic communication has essentially been proven possible, but what about the type of telepathic phenomena we experience naturally? Most people have experienced some type of uncanny ESP, whether it comes in the form of precognition, clairvoyance, intuition, or remote projection.
But if this phenomenon was measured in the way that brain interfaces work, we would expect to see things like a decay of the brain wave signal over long distances, or interference from other brain wave emissions. Instead, when we experience ESP phenomena, it seems impervious to these things. But, why?
Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance proposes an idea whereby all self-organizing systems in nature tap into a sort of collective memory that is not stored in the brain. Instead, this inherited memory exists psychically and can be accessed without regard to distance.
One aspect of this concept is that memory is passed down through genetics, but not in the sense that the information is written in to our DNA. To the contrary, Sheldrake provides the example of the failure of the Human Genome Project, which was unable to predict whether disease or physical attributes would be passed down based on one’s DNA.
Even for something as simple as height, it turned out that the information gleaned from genetic sequencing provided only five percent confidence in predicting the height of subjects’ progeny, compared to 80 percent confidence in simply measuring the parents’ height.
Instead, this collective memory seems to be passed on within groups of the same species that coexist together, and the more tight-knit a group is, the stronger a psychic bond exists.
In nature, this can be seen in the flocking behavior of birds or fish. When these animals swarm in schools or murmurations they change directions sharply without running into each other. This hive mindset is something unexplained by science, while evidence of some type of telepathic communication may be likely.
But what is the mechanism behind all this? Could it be explained by quantum theory?
The Possible Quantum Explanation
Physicists aren’t fond of what’s becoming a hackneyed theory that there may be a link between quantum physics and our consciousness; nonetheless there seems to be increasing evidence of a connection.
Einstein wasn’t the biggest fan of quantum entanglement, dismissing it as “spooky action at a distance,” because it didn’t fit into his general theory of relativity. But quantum entanglement is now a proven concept being used for quantum computing, and some physicists believe it could play a role in our consciousness.
Sir Roger Penrose first proposed the idea of a connection between quantum processes and consciousness, and he was quickly ostracized for it. The idea was considered sacrilegious to his materialist colleagues, who believed consciousness to be a physical product of the brain.
However, there has been another wave of acceptance for this theory supported by the research of esteemed U.C. Santa Barbara physicist Matthew Fischer. His theory came to him while he was recovering from depression.
Fischer was prescribed antidepressants finding them highly effective and able to lift him out of his slump. But he was astounded to learn that modern medicine doesn’t really have any idea why anti-depressants work the way they do to affect brain function.
Fischer did some research and found an experiment in which scientists gave mice two different isotopes of lithium and observed their behavior. He found that the mice given lithium-6 showed stronger maternal behaviors compared to those given lithium-7. The only difference between the two ions? Nuclear spin.
Nuclear spin determines how long an atom can remain in an entangled state, or how long it remains coherent. With lower spins, the nucleus of the atom interacts with electric and magnetic fields less, slowing its decoherence. In the mice’s brain, the lithium-7 with a higher spin would decohere too quickly, but the lithium-6 worked, despite just a one neutron difference in weight.
This led Fischer to the idea that lithium might interact with the brain through quantum entanglement – for particular chemicals, the spin needs to be just right to entangle with neurons in the brain. This had the profound implication that our cognition may involve quantum processes.
Dean Radin is one of the most notable names studying what he calls “entangled minds.” Radin is the Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and has devoted much of his career to studying psychic phenomena, under the premise that quantum entanglement may bridge the gap between a seemingly paranormal function and provable science.
Radin says that based on 17th century science, or Newtonian physics, it’s easy to consider telepathy and psychic phenomena as paranormal, but now that quantum entanglement has been proven, and separate objects can be connected at great distances, psi could potentially become a replicable, natural function.
In this regard, it may be possible that the universe itself could be a single, self-entangled object and so could our brains. And if quantum physics is able to prove this, it just might change our entire conception of reality and consciousness itself.

There are different levels and types of channeling, ranging from everyday intuition to the transmission of complex and profound messages. For many, channeling is a way to receive spiritual guidance, heal emotionally, and gain clarity on different aspects of life. Practicing channeling requires an open mind, meditation, and often the guidance of an experienced mentor or teacher.
In the series Channeling: A Bridge to the Beyond, available on Gaia, the experiences of different channelers and the techniques they use to connect with spiritual entities are explored. This series offers an in-depth look at how channeling can transform lives and provide a direct connection with the spiritual realm.
Types of Spiritual Channeling
Spiritual channeling can manifest in many forms, and the messages may come from different sources or entities from the subtle plane. These spiritual energies or intelligences act as guides, transmitters of wisdom, or companions on the path of personal and spiritual growth. Each type of channeling offers a particular connection, tailored to the needs and experiences of each individual.
- Spiritual Guides: This refers to the connection with personal Spiritual Guides who provide wisdom, guidance, and support on the journey of life. These guides can offer perspectives on important decisions and difficult situations. By working with them, one can gain a clearer understanding of their life purpose.
- Akashic Records: This allows access to the ethereal library that contains the history and knowledge of all souls, providing information about past lives and potential futures. The Akashic Records are an inexhaustible source of spiritual knowledge.
- Ascended Masters: This involves communication with enlightened beings who have transcended reincarnation and offer advanced spiritual teachings. These Ascended Masters can impart profound wisdom and tools for spiritual development.
- Nature Elementals: This consists of connecting with the energies of nature and its Elementals, such as spirits of water, air, fire, and earth, to receive wisdom about the natural environment and strengthen the bond with the Earth. This practice fosters a deeper relationship with nature and inspires greater ecological awareness.
- Angels or Archangels: This consists of receiving messages and energies from angels or archangels, who offer protection, unconditional love, and divine guidance. These entities can assist in times of need and provide comfort during moments of distress. Their presence is often perceived as a warm, serene, and comforting energy.
- Deceased Loved Ones: This involves communicating with the souls of people who have passed away, offering messages of comfort and guidance to their loved ones on Earth. This practice can provide closure and emotional relief to those experiencing grief, bringing peace through the knowledge that their loved ones continue to exist on another plane.
Who Can Channel Spiritually?
It is an innate ability in every human being. The capacity to connect with spiritual energies and guides is not reserved for a select few; it is a skill that all humans naturally possess. Since ancient times, various cultures have recognized and cultivated this natural ability, demonstrating that with practice and openness, anyone can develop their channeling potential.
Although some individuals may have a natural sensitivity or past experiences that make channeling easier for them, everyone can learn to develop this ability. Regular meditation, an open mind and heart, and a clear intention are essential for those who wish to explore this ability. With time and dedication, anyone can learn to receive and understand messages from the spiritual world.
Constant practice and a willingness to learn are fundamental for anyone wanting to channel. Additionally, trusting oneself and the sensations that arise is crucial for strengthening this spiritual connection, allowing messages to flow more naturally and effectively.
How Is Spiritual Information Received?
Channeling manifests in various forms, each with its own method of connection with the spiritual world. These forms include clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance.
Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is the ability to see with the “mind’s eye” images, symbols, or visions that convey spiritual information. This gift allows the reception of visual messages that provide guidance and insight into present or future situations. People with clairvoyance often describe their experiences as seeing movies or images in their minds, helping them better understand messages from spiritual guides.
Clairaudience
Clairaudience is the ability to hear spiritual messages that do not come from the physical world. These messages can be received as internal voices, sounds, or even music, offering guidance and answers to important questions. Those who develop clairaudience can tune into the voice of their spiritual guides and receive valuable information through sound and words.
Clairsentience
Clairsentience is the ability to feel and perceive emotions and sensations that come from spiritual sources. People with this gift can experience feelings that inform them about the energy or intention behind a situation or entity. Clairsentience enables a deep and empathetic connection with the spiritual world, providing an intuitive and emotional understanding of the messages received.
Claircognizance
Claircognizance is intuitive knowledge that arrives without logical explanation or prior reasoning. This gift manifests as a sudden certainty or an instant understanding of spiritual information. Those with claircognizance receive insights and answers to their questions spontaneously, relying on their intuition and the deep knowledge that emerges from their connection with the spiritual world.
Benefits of Spiritual Channeling
Spiritual channeling offers numerous benefits that can enrich both the personal and spiritual life of the practitioner. By connecting with spiritual guides and other entities, individuals can receive guidance, healing, and a greater understanding of their life purpose. These benefits not only enhance the quality of life but also promote a sense of peace and connection with the universe.
- Guidance and direction: Channeled messages provide clarity and insight for important decisions and challenging situations, helping individuals make choices that align with their personal life purpose.
- Emotional healing: Channeling can reveal and release repressed emotions, facilitating the healing of past traumas and emotional wounds. This process leads to deeper and longer-lasting emotional well-being.
- Spiritual growth: Connecting with spiritual entities elevates consciousness and expands spiritual understanding, fostering personal development and a stronger connection with the divine.
- Mental clarity: Receiving spiritual messages can resolve doubts and confusion, offering a clearer perspective on situations and reducing stress and anxiety.
- Life purpose discovery: Channeling can help uncover and understand one’s life purpose and soul missions, providing a deeper sense of meaning and direction in everyday life.
- Spiritual protection: Connecting with spiritual guides provides a sense of security and energetic protection, helping individuals navigate life’s experiences with greater confidence and resilience.
Basic Exercise for Spiritual Channeling
To begin with spiritual channeling, it is essential to establish a routine that prepares your mind and environment for connection with the spiritual world. Below is a simple and effective exercise you can incorporate into your daily practice to develop your channeling abilities.
- Prepare the environment: Find a quiet place where you will not be interrupted. You can use candles, crystals, or incense to create a conducive atmosphere that elevates your vibration and facilitates spiritual connection.
- Set an intention: Before beginning, set a clear intention for your practice. This could be something like “I am open to receiving guidance and wisdom from my spiritual guides.”
- Meditation and deep breathing: Start with meditation and deep breathing exercises to calm the mind and open your heart. Regular meditation helps develop concentration and elevate your energy, which is crucial for channeling.
- Protective visualization: Imagine a white light surrounding you. This light serves as a shield, protecting and purifying you, creating a safe space for spiritual communication.
