You're thinking too much, Matthew. :-)
One minor point of correction. The anointing with holy spirit didn't occur until Pentecost 33CE, after Judas' betrayal of Jesus and subsequent suicide.
This phenomenon that FJW speaks of is nothing more than an individual's keen sense of awareness of similiarity with other people. It's not much different from athletes who mesh together and know where each other are all of the time (similar to Gretzky and Kurri, or Stockton and Malone). If a person has a strong intuitive sense, particularly honed by active, intense, and prolonged association with a certain group of people, then what FJW experiences isn't all that extraordinary.
