The word "Telepathy" has been derived from the words "tele" meaning "distance" and "pathy" meaning "feeling." So Telepathy actually means getting feelings through a distance. To elaborate, Telepathy is the communication between two minds, separated over a distance, without the use of the five known senses. At some point or the other, we all have experienced Telepathy. Maybe you were thinking of someone you haven't talked to in months and you suddenly get a call from them. Or when two people are together, they might say the same thing at the same time. These are spontaneous mind-to-mind communications that tend to occur frequently between closely related individuals. One of the greatest scientists, Nikola Tesla said that if science could study and measure non-physical phenomena, there would be more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. The people of ancient Egypt were highly aware of telepathy and referred to it as mentalism. The Harvard study from last year was a huge step forward because it gave the idea of telepathy much more scientific validation in our culture.
