My move, eh?
Ok- In my understanding, telepathy is the ability to get info from someone else's mind (brain)- like a radio signal, etc. But if I use telepathy to get the info out of your brain (like when you wrote it) I am not getting it from the paper, I'm getting it from your brain. So technically, telepathy and projection are not the same.
But- I believe that Monroe and others had different types of experimentation, in which the person that brought the paper in didn't know what it said (like picked from a deck of cards that are upside down without looking and then placed on a place hard to look at (or difficult, I think.) If it wasn't Monroe it was someone else- I just don't remember at the moment. So making it a double-blind (or whatever they call it) study would show that in order to get the info, the consciousness would have to get the info from the paper, which means there was no one to think about the number (suit or whatever) so no telepathy.
But technical questions aside, think of what we're talking about- that consciousness is not confined to the body exclusively, that it can exist outside the body. So to me, the only diff. between telepathy and projection is of point-of view- literally.
It's almost saying that there is a difference between playing the piccolo and the guitar- very different for the experiencer but different ways of doing the same thing (playing music) for everyone else.
