OK.. no seriously, back to the topic..
Earthcitizen -
Why is Telepathy associated with "being further evolved" .. Where as, it has nothing to do with basic evolution, and more to do with basic science..
If it can supposedly be evolved, surely it is a possibility then, and if it is a possibility, it is a probability it could be re-created via science in a lab, or at the very least, show how it is even scientifically possible to do such a thing..

And do you not find it odd that aliens only communicate via telepathy so that no one else can conveniently hear what was said to the supposed recipient?
Its not different then someone who says "God talks to me" .. no proof, no need for proof, and little probability that it is even possible.

It has occurred to me that a large number of freemasons or cults (e.g. United Ancient Order of Druids) are capable of a form of telepathy for which they probably have trainers. I have noticed that thoughts I have had are picked up and repeated by colleagues or that colleagues answer my thoughts. I suspect that Freemasons and other associates have the power of telepathy but choose to keep it secret from the General Public....
...Is this one of Freemasonry's best kept secrets?
(Isis Unveiled)
"...No wonder that the Northern seer, Swedenborg, advises people to search for the LOST WORD (Secret Mantra) among the hierophants of Tartary, China, and Thibet; for it is there, and only there now, although we find it inscribed on the monuments of the oldest Egyptian dynasties...." - H.P. Blavatsky
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity.
He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.
The cut worm forgives the plow.
No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
Prisons are built with stones of Law, Brothels with bring of Religion.
"The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God.
The nakedness of women is the work of God.
Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps." - William Blake
NAMO GURU PADMA SIDDHI HRI!
My sons you have met a sublime consort, the Great Mother,
And by virtue of your resources of accumulated merit,
Fortuitously, you have received the four empowerments.
Concentrate upon the evolution of the four levels of joy.
Immediately you set eyes upon my body-mandala,
Your mind was possessed by a lustful disposition,
And your confidence won you the Vase Initiation.
Apprehend the very essence of lust,
Identify it as your creative vision of the deity,
And that is nothing but the Yidam deity himself.
Meditate upon lustful mind as Divine Being.
Uniting with space, your consort's secret mandala,
Pure pleasure exciting your nerve centres,
Your aggression was assuaged and loving kindness was born,
And its power won you the Mystic Initiation.
Apprehend the very essence of joy,
Mix it with your vital energy and maintain it awhile,
And if that is not mahamudra, nothing is.
Experience pleasure as mahamudra.
Joined to your consort's sphere of pure pleasure,
Inspired to involuntary exertion,
Your mind merged with my mind,
And that blessing won you the Wisdom Initiation.
Undistracted, guard the very essence of pleasure,
Identify pure pleasure with Emptiness,
And that is what is known as immaculate empty pleasure.
Experience pure pleasure as supreme joy.
United at your consort's blissful nerve,
Our two nectars fused into one elixir.
The phenomena of self and others extinguished,
Awareness won you the Initiation of Creative Expression.
Guard the natural purity in the world of appearances,
Identify your love and attachment with Emptiness,
And that is nothing other than Dzogchen itself.
Experience innate joy as no-joy.
This is extraordinary, exalted secret instruction;
To consciously practise this method brings a fall,
But discovered by chance it gives miraculous release.
You attained the four empowerments at once,
And your success was matured by the four stages of joy.
[From Sky Dancer pp. 118-19, Chapter. Seven:
Establishing, Spreading and Perpetuating the Teaching.]
You seven thieves with whom I have previous karmic
connection,
Know that aggression and malice are Mirror-like
Awareness itself -
Radiance and clarity have no other source
Than a hostile mind filled with anger and enmity.
Look into your anger
And there is the strength of Diamond Being,
Vajrasattva!
Detached from appearances, you are purified in
Emptiness.
This maiden's fatherland is Overflowing Joy,
Serene Fields of Emptiness and Visionary Pleasure;
I am no stickler for conventional names and forms
So if your favoured lady's fair land appeals to you,
I will lead you there.
You seven thieves with whom I have previous karmic
connection,
Know that pride and vain complacency are Awareness
of Sameness -
Primal purity in meditative composure cannot be found
Except in an ambitious mind that believes itself supreme.
Look into natural purity
And there is a Fountain of Jewels, Ratnasambhava.
Detached from the state of Emptiness, light-form is pure.
This maiden's father is that source of every
gratification,
He is the wish-fulfilling gem itself;
I am no glutton for the illusory chattels of wealth
So if you think you would like the old man I will part
with him.
You seven thieves with whom I have previous karmic
connection,
Know that desire and covetousness are Discriminating
Awareness -
You will find fine sensory distinction in no other place
Than a mind hungering for beautiful things, wanting the
whole world.
Look into the intrinsic freshness of your desire
And there is Boundless Light, Amitabha!
Detached from radiance, your pleasure is purified.
This maiden's mother is Boundless Light
And in her is pure pleasure unlimited;
I am no votary of the quality of feeling
So if this old lady appeals to you I will give her away.
You seven thieves with whom I have previous karmic
connection,
Know that envy and alienation are All-Accomplishing
Awareness -
Efficiency and success have no other source
Than a bigoted mind that is quick to judge and holds a
grudge.
Look behind jealous thoughts
And there is immediate success, Amoghasiddhi!
Detached from crass envy and subtle resentments,
Whatever occurs is pure.
This maiden's Lama is Every Purpose Spontaneously
Accomplished,
The Lama whose every action is invariably
consummated;
So because I am no slave to the sphere of my work
If you want this Lama
I will abandon him to you.
You seven thieves with whom I have previous karmic
connection,
Know that ignorance and stupidity are Awareness of
Dynamic Space -
There is no other way to hold fast to the path
Than through ignorance and a dense understanding.
Look into ignorance
And there is Dynamic Visionary Panorama, Vairotsana!
Detached from hypnotic states, whatever arises is pure.
This maiden's beloved is Visionary Panorama
And I love that ultimate consort, the Illuminator;
And since I am no adherent of the duality of vision
and viewer,
If you desire my service
I will show you the way.
The thieves were filled with undivided faith, and they felt repelled by the wheel of rebirth. They begged instruction and precepts from me, and then gained release from samsara. They begged me insistently to come to their
country, but I refused and continued on my way.
(Initiation and Instruction pp.44-47)

Telepathy is not considered to be of the highest of Siddhis(Magical Powers).
Primitive Masonry(Gnosis) does teach that working with the Manipura Chakra will develop Telepathy.
Church of Pergamus: Chakra Manipura
See the writings of the V.M. Samael Aun Weor, Manly P. Hall 33º, H.P. Blavatsky, C.W. Leadbeater 33º, Max Heindel, etc.
Speaking of the Ancient Order of Druids(of whom Godfrey Higgins was a Master), the works of Godfrey Higgins are very valuable for verifying the basis of many of the Gnostic teachings found in the writings of the above authors.
(See also the writings of Albert Pike, John Yarker, W.L. Wilmshurst, J.D. Buck, J.S.M. Ward, and Frank C. Higgins.)
William Blake is said to have passed the Torch of Druidry to Godfrey Higgins.
Although Godfrey Higgins seems to have been more of a scholar, while William Blake seems to have been more of a Mystic.
Both having been practical Occultists to some extent I'm sure.
In relation to the Gnostic poetry of William Blake, let us first consider that the Tantric Vehicle of Buddhism is known in the East as the SECRET MANTRA Vehicle: Vajrayana, Tantrayana, or Mantrayana.

I think I have to be careful with my terminology. I would have to decribe Freemasonry as an umbrella term for the mainstream Lodges and other occult groups associated with them for example:
The Golden Dawn
Knights Templar
Rosicrucian (including telepathy) Lessons
Crowley's OTO
Feel free to correct me if I get this wrong...

Well it's real easy, Freemasonry is a cult, a tax exempt usurping zionist quasi-kabbalist cult. How can one avoid the association?
Kellner believed that he had discovered a "Key" which offered a clear explanation of all the complex symbolism of Freemasonry, and, Kellner believed, opened the mysteries of Nature. Kellner developed a desire to form an Academia Masonica which would enable all Freemasons to become familiar with all existing Masonic degrees and systems.
The three founders, Dr. William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott, and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers were Freemasons and members of Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.),[3] an appendant body to Freemasonry. Westcott, also a member of the Theosophical Society, appears to have been the initial driving force behind the establishment of the Golden Dawn.

As far as I can gather, the founders never left Freemasonry but kept their connections intact.
What would be the point of studying it unless you wanted some form of control over others?
Even though this society was founded by Masons (i.e., us), the organization itself is not Masonic, it just has some people in it who are Masons.
And if B is a tiny subset of A, and B is evil, how can you paint A with the same brush? How can you even call it an A conspiracy when clearly it's a B conspiracy? A doesn't authorize it. A doesn't condone it. So why do people insist on still calling it A when it's those pesky B's that people need to be looking out for?

this is where the whole "no masonic conspiracy" thing breaks down and the wheels fall off.
HOW on *G*'s great earth can someone who is a mason KNOW there is no conspiracy if THEY are not personally 'in on it'?
an organization within an organization is an old ploy, and when the organization hiding the other one is full of secrets, and fatal revenge rituals, the one that is hiding within it must be even MORE secret and vengeful.
just sayin'.
