Telepathy Between Couples: Is It Real?
by IONS Research Team
Happy Valentine's Day!
On this day when we traditionally celebrate love and affection, we're delighted to share a new article about the science behind psychic connections. IONS Senior Scientist Dean Radin and some of his colleagues were interviewed for this article in Discovery News, which features research done by the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

My telepathy experience has progressed from being stimulated to talk about a person (usually some negative comment!) only to turn and find that person behind me, to a recognition of a slight sense of pressure and presence, a thought of someone, triggering me to pay attention. Mostly I just say "hi" in acknowledgement to whoever and whatever activated the impulse. The second type comes in the form of action, apparently in response to people to whom I'm close. Sometimes it's suddenly wanting to leave the party, or offering someone water, or turning off music or tv, and getting a comment such as "how did you know that was just what I wanted."
This may be connected to rapport states, and/or as Dean Radin suggested, entanglement. My experience suggests my telepathy is conducted through the same channels that conduct emotional information. None of this precludes my earlier experience of great force, related to a loved one receiving a life shock.
I met my fourth wife two weeks after my third wife walked out. It was like meeting an old friend I'd not seen for a long time. We sat and chatted for hours. I asked Karen to hike with me to Multnomah Falls, which is near Portland, Oregon.
We were sitting on a log on the trail chatting. Karen blurted out: "I want ours to be a platonic relationship." My response: "Outside of my family, I don't have platonic relationships with women." At that moment, the sky turned black in the northwest. We hurried back to the car, to learn that Mt. St. Helens had erupted.
Fifteen years later, Karen came to me with an astrological compatibility report, one of those computer printouts from a software program. In the report I read, "The platonic thing was there from the start, and there is a sense of the brotherly and sisterly between you."
As for the eruption, legend tells us of the Phoenix, a bird that immolates itself on a pyre and from the ashes is reborn to live another cycle of years. It is seen as an emblem of reborn idealism or hope.
My fourth wife Karen and I have been happily married 33 years. We are spiritually united. Karen says she is not at all on my scientific wavelength but frequently brings me information on the very subject I'm researching. Both of us think something and the other comments on the very thing we are thinking. I'll say something like, "I think we ought to go out to dinner tonight." Karen says, "I put that thought in your head."
