Again, and as s~Z has said (and remained unaddressed), it is only
language which creates this link, and elevates these faculties. What if
"extra-sensory" is a misnomer? What if telepathy *is* a sensory faculty,
a (scientifically unacknowledged) sixth sense? What if thought waves
exist as substantive phenomena like sound or light waves, just that they
are not empirically-discernible by any machines that we have so far
invented? (Although, that lie detector test comes pretty close.) Those
human adepts who have evolved receptors to these (hypothetical) waves
are still human -- corporeal.
