I've been wondering about this. For a polarity that relies so often in manipulation, and where being skilled at manipulation is something of great value, what is the point behind telepathy when it instantly lets every other-self know your true intentions? Are manipulation and deception taken out of the equation when dealing with other members of the social memory complex? And what is its purpose exactly in this polarity?
One thing that comes to mind is that telepathy could be used in such social memory complexes to create a hive mind of sorts. Each member of the hierarchy knows their place, with orders being communicated much more easily and efficiently from top to bottom via direct thought. Still, where does manipulation factor into all of this? If we consider the notion that STS entities can rely upon completely different forms of power, some choosing raw physical and overt power, and other entities choosing the more cerebral and covert kind of power that manipulation entails, wouldn't telepathy impose serious limitations upon entities' free will to choose their own particular way of seeking power? Furthermore, how could inner fighting and disintegration of these negative SMCs even happen, if every entity always had the ability to know when someone wanted to betray them?
I was remembering what I believe was a near death experience I once read. The person going through this experience found himself in the world of spirits, having telepathy. He said that positive entities reveal the entirety of their being to you; their thoughts, their feelings, their everything. He explained that this is how you identify the positive and the negative entities, arguing that negative entities close aspects of themselves to you, choosing to reveal in the telepathic process only those aspects of themselves that suit them.
I think this would solve the dilemma. Negative social memory complexes could use telepathy for negative purposes, without being hindered in their power plays and deceitful tactics. Those in the lower levels would resign to their current position, while waiting to amass enough power to make a move upon their leaders.
Unfortunately, the following quote from Ra might be in direct contradiction to that possibility:
They go into such little detail that we can only imagine the extent of this "transparency", though. Perhaps transparency is absolute within the SMC itself, but not so when dealing with entities outside the SMC, which would explain that person's near death experience. Who knows, though.
What are your thoughts? How do you think telepathy works in STS SMCs, and for what purposes?

Quote:Always the fourth-density effects of telepathy and the transparency of thought are attempted to be used for the sake of those at the apex of the power structure.
This, as you may see, is often quite damaging to the further polarization of fourth-density negative entities, for the further negative polarization can only come about through group effort. As the fourth-density entities manage to combine, they then polarize through such services to self as those offered by the crusaders of Orion.
