Adopting a commitment to the principle of heterogeneity, combined with a concern for subjugated and disqualified knowledge, we unravel the debates around telepathy and telementation in marketing theory and practice. We explicate the conditions of possibility for these deliberations, focusing on the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). A close reading of the scholarly outputs published by members of the SPR helps us unpack the theoretical assumptions underwriting telepathy via the concept of the subliminal self. This material forms the foundations for William Walker Atkinson’s ‘practical occultism’. We review Atkinson’s work, making the case that telepathy was central to exerting personal influence. Our account thus diverges markedly from extant histories of influence. Attention is then turned to the jettisoning of telepathic linkages. Changes in discourse reflect ‘epistemological deflation’ in combination with ‘counter-reversal’. Nonetheless, telepathic and telementative assumptions remain central to our understanding of sales and marketing communications. The same can be said of consumer research. Telepathy may also impact our future in a novel, ‘synthetic’ form.

“…Finally, explorations of thought-transference should address its ontological nature; several recent papers suggest a growing interest in this topic (Cardeña 2018, 2019; de Peyer 2017; Sánchez-Medina 2018; Eshel 2019; Farber 2017; Rottenberg 2017). Are all experiences of thought-transference reducible to nonverbal communication?…”

Freud’s writing on the topic of thought-transference stimulated controversy among analysts and original reflection on psychoanalytic understandings of the psyche. The notion of telepathy has also contributed significantly to the development of fundamental psychoanalytic concepts, including transference, projective identification, and primary forms of symbolization processes. The notion of telepathy, especially in light of current trends in post-Bionian and field theories, is used to outline an epistemological framework in which the clinical relevance of this notion becomes clear. Epistemological questions raised by telepathy and how this notion relates to the most originary and primary forms of the intersubjective relationship are addressed before questioning the conditions for the emergence of telepathy, its integration within contemporary psychoanalytic theory, and its ontological nature.

“…The surrealists engaged in various activities, some potentially psi-related, within a communal context in which connections across people could be established. The idea of transient communities of shared psi mentality has been described within the therapeutic setting (e.g., Cardeña, 2019b;De Peyer, 2016), whose emotional context would be closer to that of a community of artists (or of other intense emotional connections) than the emotionally cold setting of most controlled experiments. The creation of a "psychic community" was a goal in Susan Hiller's Draw Together (1972) and The Dream Seminar (1973) created communal waking and putative dreaming psi events (see Iribas, 2020, for a thorough discussion of these and other relevant works of Hiller).…”

The turn from figurative art to the depiction of internal experiences opened the door for artists to represent anomalous experiences and ostensible psi phenomena. Various studies have described how Abstract art was influenced by Occultism, but there were other important influences. They include scientific theories of the ether and hypergeometric dimensions, the development of technological advances showing the reality of unseen electromagnetic waves and wireless communication at a distance, Spiritualism, and the inception of psychical research. This paper focuses on how psi phenomena, research, and theory, o en in conjunction with the other influences, have been an important topic and source of inspiration in various modern and contemporary movements including Surrealism and Abstract and Conceptual art.
