Understanding, as a psychic concept, is the apex of telepathic interaction between two individual consciousnesses. This practice involves a structured, often ritualistic process where two espers that have telepathic abilities engage in a series of mental exercises designed to lower their innate psychological defenses and synchronize their emotional frequencies. This alignment allows for the seamless flow of thoughts, memories, emotions, and subconscious impulses directly from one mind to another in synergy.
The process by which this is accomplished involves a series of general steps taken by both parties towards this mutual synergy over long periods of time. Both parties practice the shirking of their individual egos, fostering a state where their personal biases begin to dissolve in what is called convergence. This is where pseudo ego-death occurs, where the boundaries between the self and the other become permeable as to reflect on the nature of the other individual. From this point, harmonization occurs, where the individuals resonate with each other’s deepest fears, desires, and aspirations, leading to a state of hyper-empathy (a profound emotional and cognitive alignment). After this, clarification occurs, where misunderstandings or conflicts that exist between individuals are brought to the forefront. These are not debated in a traditional sense but are instead experienced from the perspective of the other, leading to mutual insight. The process deconstructs found misunderstandings, and perceptions are shared.
The final stage, resolution, marks the withdrawal of the intertwined mental state, where both parties retract back into their individual selves, with a sense of mutual understanding. The psychological residue of this shared consciousness remains, enhancing the individuals’ empathy and altering their perspectives permanently.
It is important to note that this concept of “understanding” does not yield a unification of consciousnesses, but rather an apical sense of knowledge of the mental infrastructure and behavior of another, individual mind.
