How can high-level awareness resulting in telepathic radar be made possible in the human mind?

The humans in this setting are telepaths who are able to communicate with each other through their minds. This form of telepathy transfers simple phrases, symbols, or emotions to the designated person within a range of 5 - 7 feet. Having full blown conversations telepathically is difficult because it taxes the mind, and isn't often done.

However, telepathy also allows for a high-level of awareness, a mental trait gives the person a full picture of their surrounding environment for 7 feet. this form of omnipresence works in the background of the person's mind, and they are aware of it semi-consciously. Say they are looking for something important, such as their keys or the location of a store, and don't remember where it is. This radar would be aware of the surroundings and point out the object if it was in the person's vicinity. The person would experience this as instinctual, and simply know where to find them.

This culture reveres the phenomenon through the eyes of their culture, and looks at it through a religious lens. Humans call it the god-spirit, which is a small piece of their God that they carry in their soul. It is a symbol of their divine connection with the deity, viewed as God "watching over them" similar to a guardian spirit.

I need to explain the mechanics of this ability and its behavior. How would the human brain be made capable of this level of awareness?
