There are lots of words to describe it… clairvoyance, telepathy, psychokinesis, precognition, psi, psychic, channeling, extended human capacities, anomalous information reception… the list goes on and on. And not many people feel comfortable talking about it. Help us learn more about how people experience the phenomenon that we describe as accessing and/or expressing information and energy not limited by space and time. We are conducting a study to learn more about the diversity of these experiences.

To be eligible for the study you need to be:

• An English speaking adult aged 18 years or older.
• Have had an experience of accessing and/or expressing information or energy not limited by space and time.

The study includes answering four open-ended questions about your experience. We anticipate the survey to take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

Telephone Telepathy

Many people have had the experience of thinking about a particular person, for no apparent reason, and then the phone rings and that person is on the line. Generally such calls are from familiar people like close friends and family members. These seemingly telepathic experiences with telephones are very common.

Dr. Sheldrake has developed a simple, easy to use, automated test that works on cell phones in the US, Canada, the UK, and Italy. It is free and can be done at any time. You register online here, giving the names and numbers of two people you know well, who will be your callers in this test. The registration link gives full instructions and details.

You will receive your score at the end of each test, which involves six short calls randomly spread out over about one hour.

Dr. Sheldrake is keen to know if people can get better with practice. Also, does it work better after you have been meditating? Or after other practices that help you increase your intuition? Do please have a go at the test, and see if you can find ways of improving your score. If you can do this, please send Dr. Sheldrake an email describing how you did it.

Test Your Telepathy

Waking Before Alarm Clocks Go Off

Have you ever woken just before your alarm clock goes off? What about waking before unscheduled disturbances?

IONS Fellow, Rupert Sheldrake, is conducting exciting new research around this common but mysterious phenomenon, which may be a form of pre-sentiment precognition. He is interested in hearing from those who have had experiences of waking just before unexpected alarms, such as fire alarms, or any other unscheduled disturbance. Watch a brief (4 min) video about the experiment and learn how you can participate by sharing your own experiences.

From Rupert, “I’m sure many of you have experienced something like this before; I’m interested in hearing from those who have experiences of waking just before unexpected alarms, such as fire alarms, or any other unscheduled disturbances. If this has happened to you I’d be very interested to know more, so please tell me a brief account of what happened* or alternatively email me at sheldrake@sheldrake.org. These accounts will be valuable to my research so please also share this with any friends or family who may have had similar experiences. Thank you.
