Well well, look what we have here. Dr. Michael Persinger, the famous Neuroscientist at Ontario University, an Atheist hailed by skeptics for his "God helmet" experiments as being evidence against NDE's being evidence for an afterlife, has turned the tables on his skeptic admirers by announcing that he has now discovered a proven telepathic link in his experiments

Ultimately, what the good professor is proposing is nothing less than a hive mind without any apparent hierarchy. We have been conditioned to think of any group-think as being controlled by unseen forces for their own ends. This is the Borg analogy. However a true hive mind, where every individual has access to the accumulated knowledge of every other mind, would preclude any sort of centralized control. Within this "organic internet", not only would raw data be available but the motivations and agenda underlying the data would be instantly revealed making disinformation impossible.

I can't see the videos right now but why has he turned against his skeptic admirers (Atheist )? From reading your post it looks like he has some evidence to suggest that there can exist a form of quantum entanglement, so what does that have to do with Atheist or God?

...he has documented telepathic experiments involving animals knowing in advance when their owners were coming home, and humans who were able to demonstrate consistent above chance that they could sense when they were being stared at.
I'll bite. Add to it the freaky experience of thinking of someone just before they call you on the telephone.
Or family members knowing the moment somebody has had an accident or died. There is surely a link unlimited by distance. People who haves these and other experiences are not surprised when someone says "scientifically proven". For them it happens all the time and is (somewhat) ordinary. I personally hope I never get used to it.

Now, just think...if they actually build a practical telepathy-enabling device, then what would stop the military from seizing it and forcibly scanning our thoughts?
This is a real possibility people. There is nothing more powerful than the ability to know what any person is thinking just by training a device on them. Can our government resist such potential?
I don't think so.
The only other option is our leaders saying, "Well, if we can't use it for military applications, then you can't use it for the furtherance of mankind."
Yes, they would be pig-headed like that.
But no matter what happens, I'll be intensely interested to see where this goes.
In the 1980′s Persinger made headlines with his “God Helmet”, a device that stimulates temporal lobes with a weak magnetic field in order to produce religious states.
