Control of your mind is a military capability.
Telepathy, from the Greek τελε, tele
meaning “remote”
and πάθεια, patheia
meaning “to be affected by”,
describes the transfer of information
on thoughts between individuals
by means other than the five classical senses.
The term was coined in 1882
by the classical scholar
Frederic Myers
to replace the earlier expression
thought-transference.
A person who is able to make use of telepathy
is said to be able to
read the minds of others.
It is a deliberate act
in the same way that spoken conversation
is a deliberate act.
Telepathy is, furthermore,
a figure of communication -
of the communication of feeling
or “felt” meaning (pathos)
over distance (tele).
