Fascinating info on the 'mind reading' aspect in ME. Does the essay explain if this method (or a corruption of this method) was used by Morgoth and Sauron to control their underlings (orcs etc.). I'm thinking here of the end of the Battle of the Morannon when Sauron has been defeated and the orcs and trolls become witless as if they were ants in a nest where the queen had been killed.
(sorry to bring the tone down but not v. expert on Orthodox church etc :-)
