What ? You didn't realize this yet ? See ? This is why theories are lacking (for telepathy, and consciousness generally), because people simply fail to see some elements of phenomenology. If people fail to see that consciousness is unified, they will search explanations for telepathy in terms of "message transmission", which of course they will fail. If people on the other hand notice that consciousness works by unifications, they will start to search explanations for telepathy in terms of unifications, and probably they will have more luck. So the whole problem with theories of consciousness is not that consciousness is "mysterious", is just that people fail to see key aspects of phenomenology. Once those aspects are spotted, theories will follow at once.
Now, the problem is: How are those elements of phenomenology to be observed ? From my own thinking experience, the central element is honesty. Honesty is much more important than intelligence of theories learned by heart in schools, etc. If you are looking at consciousness in an honest way, chances are you will spot lots of things and you will be able to formulate theories. Otherwise, if you just want social status (i.e. get a phd from Oxford, etc.) then good luck! Solving consciousness is not for you.
