OK, let's get things straight.<P>First, Galadriel <B>can</B> communicate with others "telepathically". And I don't just mean Frodo. If I'm not mistaken, in the book it says that Frodo could hear her voice inside his head while she was talking to the others. And later on, Sam told Frodo that Galadriel had been doing the same thing to him too(forgive my english)!<P>Let me give you an advice. In order to understand why Galadriel and the other Elves can communicate like that, try to stop thinking of the movie as a science-fiction one(that goes for the books too!). This is a mysterious world, and the creatures that live in it do not obey to the same rules of Physics as we know it today. It didn't matter whether you were Elf or Human or Dwarf. As long as your spirit, your will was strong enough, you were given the opportunity to "touch" things that lied beyond common perception. Don't forget that, according to the book, Aragorn warned Gandalf not to enter the mines of Moria, for in his heart he felt something wrong was going to happen, especially to Gandalf. And it did! And besides, when Frodo first heard the elven songs in Imladris (Rivendell), he could feel their meaning inside of him although he didn't understand their words.<P>The bottom-line is that any creature of Middle-Earth that was wise, enlightened or powerful enough, could present some kind of "powers". Then, their individuality would give these "powers" a more distinctive form, whether it was the ability to see things with one's magic mirror, the ability to speak to one's heart and mind without actually talking, or the ability to forge a powerful ring that can destroy the world, since we're at it. Most of the elves had such powers because they could live to see many centuries go by (not to mention Elrond, Galadriel and Cirdan). Most of the Kings of Gondor did too, especially Aragorn. And Frodo surely earned that right in his own time, for having carried the Ring. <P>That is how I like to imagine Middle-Earth and I hope there are some that agree with me.
