These are the lyrics to the song “Twilight Zone” which we played at the Gorsedh Final night. It is about how, as children, we think we can communicate telepathically with our closest friends and/or loved ones.

i am thrilled to see something really happening here and also underlining what i said at both the Trials and Final…there is a dearth of unique and disparate talent in the order and a growing energy especially since Tim got this up and running. it would be good if all those initiated into the order since the start had an opportunity to be part of this

I don’t think you mean ’dearth’ in this context surely?
I have sent out invites to everyone who I have an email or facebook contact for. Not everyone has taken up the offer. I guess it might be worth sending out reminders. ?-

I think mostly it’s bullied out of us. Some are lucky and don’t lose the ability. Others rediscover it out of need / survival. I think most people have this ability but we are often conned into believing it is merely a childish fantasy.
