Levels of telepathy
« on: August 05, 2008, 12:17:02 AM »
I was just bored and got to thinking about the different levels of telepathy in the animorphs universe (don't ask me why)

This thread should be in Animorphs topic... ^_^'

I think what she said in the books:
- Andalites give words/informations by through-speak
- Leeran read in mind and give informations by telepathy
- whales give informations by telepathy and songs or something like that...

I think garatron telepathy is similar to andalites, only faster words/info.

Oh, man. I hated reading the Garatron sometimes. He just talked waaay too fast for me to be able to read at my normal pace. I had to actually stop and think.  :o

I wish KA had gone into more detail on what Elfangor did to Tobias in book 1. You know where he put his hand on his head and gave Tobias an information burst which told him about the Yeerk Pool? It would've be cool to see Ax do that, or at least mention it. It's never mentioned after book one.

It may just have been another idea that was dropped after #1, like the fact that Jake could thought-speak to Tobias while he was still human.

I agree though, it would've been interesting to see if it had stuck in the series, especially if all  Andalites and the Animorphs were able to project images as well as words in thought-speak to others.

Do they ever clarify if Ax could thought-speak while in human morph?  I don't recall but you would think so as it is a morph, human mouth not-withstanding.

Yes, Ax can thought-speak in human morph, because it is just like any other morph. Whenever someone returns to their natural body, they use whatever communication they would normally use. Because Andalites can naturally use thought-speak, they can use it in and out of morph. However, the regular Animorphs can only use it when they are in morph.

Have we forgotten the telepathy between Yeerk and Host?
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

but in #8 he says he can't. and in #33 he does. so whether can or can't is debatable.

Perhaps KA simply changed her mind? Like in #8 she was trying to keep with the idea that Humans can't use thought speech, but then realised that since Ax is actually an Andalite in morph, there is no reason why he wouldn't be able to use thought speech.

Except Tobias, who can do it in Hawk, his base form. And also in his human morph, though I'm not certain if they ever showed him doing so.
