kything
Kything is a spiritual practice or concept that originated in Celtic spirituality and was popularized by American psychologist and theologian Matthew Fox. It refers to a deep form of connection and communication between individuals, where they are able to transcend physical barriers and establish a profound understanding of one another, often described as telepathic or empathic. Kything involves the sharing of thoughts, emotions, and experiences on a level beyond normal human perception, allowing for a sense of unity and interconnectedness between individuals. It is often associated with spiritual growth, healing, and a heightened awareness of the interconnectedness of all beings.

Kything
Kything is from an old Scottish word, "kythe," meaning "to make visible." Madeleine L'Engle used it to describe a fictional type of communication, in a sense like telepathy, found in several of the books in her Time Quartet. L'Engle reportedly discovered the term in "an old Scottish dictionary" belonging to her grandfather. Kything in the Time books is a sort of wordless, mind to mind communication in which one person, in essence, almost becomes another, seeing through their eyes and feeling through their senses. In such a frame of mind, the two people intuitively know the meaning of what the other is telling them, disregarding such things as words or pictures. The idea may be based on the concept of Oneness, which states that all that exists, is one in its source and end. Apparently, recollection and assertion of that concept puts a person "in Kythe" with that which they are concentrating on. Kything is portrayed as a way to be present with others without regard to space, time, or relative size. Through kything, humans can be together inside a subcellular mitochondrion, as seen in A Wind in the Door, or in communication despite being centuries apart, as seen in A Swiftly Tilting Planet.
