Some time ago someone told us telepathy should become our number one priority. I am told we weren't told the one thing I needed to figure out because this was my thing, and not everyone's key point to develop, but I'm dropping it here nevertheless for future reference.
Learning to keep my mind blank for extended periods of time was essential. In that state, thoughts come that are my hearing of external thoughts, and the thoughts I produce are more easily picked up by both skilled telepaths and suitable receivers at the time.
