Do you read intentions or every fleeting thought that someone has ?
Uncertain if your question 7 is rhetorical or not. But I’ll gladly share my own (just mine) experience with telepathy. I’ve had 40 years to reflect on and examine my many, many hundreds of telepathic experiences. I can tell you what I perceive is common (for me - just me) about this phenomenon. [I am also purposely excluding from this description all of my experiences with empathy and premonitions as they seem to me to be materially different.]
1. With only two known exceptions, I have always received telepathically only comprehensive, conceptual thoughts instead of discrete words. To your question Critter, these were singular thoughts and not everything someone was thinking about.
2. On one of the two occasions when I received “discrete words” it was because my GF was purposely trying to send separate words to me as a test of my telepathy.
3. On the other occasion when I received “discrete words” it was like a string of several complete sentences literally streaming into my mind. I believe the person who originated those thoughts had actually practiced (maybe repeatedly) what they wanted to say to me. So when they stood in front of me, they probably just replayed their practiced speech in their own mind. Hence, I received it in the same series of sentences rather than a comprehensive concept. Side Note: that occurrence was so unique that it was actually kind of weird even to me.
4. In every instance (except one which was confirmed), I have only ever received the thoughts of someone who wanted to communicate with me. Typically the thought’s source had something they wanted and intended to share with me. On rare occasion I have received thoughts that someone wished they could tell me but were somewhat reluctant to do so; in those few cases, I suspect their desire to share was probably greater than their reluctance to withhold that info.
5. Huge caveat to #4: it would of course be difficult for me to confirm that I have ever received telepathically any thoughts from someone who didn’t want to share because...um...that person would be unlikely to tell me aloud what they were thinking because they didn’t want to share in the first place.
6. I can only recall one specific occasion when I received multiple (as in very many, too many) thoughts from several people concurrently. That was a huge surprise and scary because it’d never happened before. I had to physically leave the room and build a psychic shield before I felt safe stepping back into that crowd.
7. Physical distance does not necessarily make a difference - I’ve received telepathic thoughts from people who were at least a dozen miles away. However, it does seem that being physically present with someone might increase the likelihood of sharing telepathically because, in my perception, the thought’s source may already be engage with me in other even unrelated conversation.
So to be clear, I have never “overheard” any instances of someone who was thinking about their extramarital affairs nor the extreme amounts of cash they have hoarded.
[Editing my post to share the following personal conclusion...] Based only on my own experiences, I believe that relevant to my own telepathy, the popular phrase "reading minds" isn't an accurate short description. I have not found that I can do anything close to reaching inside of someone's mind to uncover info. Instead for me it has been more of a "receipt of information" almost a sharing of info from another person into my mind. There have been at least three occasions when it appeared more like I had "read the mind" of someone else. But that's three times out of many hundreds of times (likely exceeding 1,000 times) which is not statistically material to me; and, I still feel that in those same three instances, those persons had some minimum desire to share at least a part of their thoughts with me.
