I do. And I don't write it off. Why is voice communication any less magical than telepathy? An organ in my head communicates with an organ in yours by indirectly vibrating the gases between us in a pattern. Or by these marks. Isn't that a field of consciousness in a sense? Anyone standing in it is potentiated by my message, and maybe in multiple ways at once! That octopus is influencing my brain, and I don't even know how. My guess is that it is hacking my circuitry by taking advantage of a processing weakness. Brain hacking. I bet we are going to start doing this in our life time. I know we are already to an extent, but I mean I think we will begin to do so in a very aggressive manner. Scary thought. But, I think that you suggest something more subtle and expansive/intrinsic?
