This is really wild. So we all might be innately telepathic? So that begs the question why would the brain suppress it? I mean wouldn't it be beneficial to the survival of the organism. Or maybe as Aldous Huxley believed, the brain was created to limit and contain the mind. Perhaps the human brain was created by God to provide us with a uniquely human experience and our true abilities far surpass anything that we can imagine.

In his essay The Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) refers to the theory of French philosopher Henri Louis Bergson (1859–1941) whereby the chief purpose of the brain, the nervous system and the sensory organs is to eliminate information rather than produce it. “Each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe. The function of the brain and nervous system is to protect us from being overwhelmed and confused by this mass of largely useless and irrelevant knowledge, by shutting out most of what we should otherwise perceive or remember at any moment, and leaving only that very small and special selection which is likely to be practically useful.” According to such a theory, each one of us is potentially Mind at Large. But in so far as we are animals, our business is at all costs to survive. To make biological survival possible, Mind at Large has to be funnelled through the reducing valve of the brain and nervous system. What comes out at the other end is a measly trickle of the kind of consciousness which will help us to stay alive on the surface of this particular planet. Therefore, the ordinary or ‘normal’ state of consciousness is a measly trickle of concepts compared to what we are capable of knowing. Bergson’s theory has been developed by several scholars, including Dr Stanislav Grof (Prague, 1 July 1931), a psychiatrist and researcher in the field of non-ordinary states of consciousness. According to Dr Grof, the purpose of the brain is to act as a reducing valve that protects us from the overwhelming excess of information from the cosmos, so we are able to focus on everyday life. Upon physical death, this reducing valve ceases to exist. Hence, many people who have had near-death experiences report the sensation of being inundated with a universal consciousness. There are other circumstances, however, such as the meditative state or dreams, which allow us to loosen our reducing valve. In other words, when we are in a quiet meditative state, when we are dreaming, when we are about to fall asleep or on the verge of waking up, we sometimes know things in a new way and this seems completely natural to us at the time, but we often forget them as soon as we fully awaken.

Thanks for quoting Doors of Perception. I remember doing some research on it years ago when I was writing a paper on consciousness and I Ioved the Mind-at-Large concept.
