on perceiving Reality … (04/29/09)
None of us can use our rational minds and ever truly “know” the nature of our objective Reality. Thus, in order to utilize all the information our senses constantly provide us, we must be willing to engage their “advice” on Faith and then discern Truth from those results …
That having been said, here is what I do “know” about the four, “non-primary”, intuitive senses possessed by all humans …
Intuition— the 6th Sense: Intuition, as far as I know, is our ability to take the totality of information we are sensing in any given moment, transpose it upon what similar information has meant in past experiences, and thereby gain a “feel” for what the immediate future will probably bring. This is “hunch” and “gut feeling” … In addition, some physicists are proposing that the Universe is holographic — meaning that any part reflects the entirety of the whole. If this is true, then this sense is a more concrete “knowing” of our role in the “Bigger Picture”; a knowing that allows us to feel “the best course” of action even if we do not have more tangible evidence in support of that choice via our five “Primary senses” …
Limbic Resonance — the 7th Sense: This is where I apply the latest research being done in relation to our “Heart Brain” (google Joseph Chilton Pearce and/or “Heart Math” for more info) … As “highly developed beings”, we can innately sense the emotional State of Being of any other “highly developed being” in our immediate presence. This sense is activated regardless of whether or not we have any more tangible evidence of that emotional state of mind — We simply “know” …
EM Resonance — the 8th Sense: This where the Wisdom of Feng Shui can be applied … In essence, no matter where we are, our personal frequency (primarily an electro-magnetic emission, though other more subtle energies are probably co-emitted as well) is mingling with the frequencies emitted by all other entities in our vicinity (both those animate and those inanimate). These emissions interact with one another and reflect back to us as either “harmonious” or “discordant”. If most of them resonate harmoniously with one another, we feel a sense of “ease” — if not, we feel a deep, often unexplainable dis-ease — a desire to be in a different space because “something just isn’t right” …
Conscient Resonance — the 9th Sense: The final sense relates to the innate Moral Compass that constantly guides us both from within (the conscience) and without (external “beacons ” of witnessed “good” or “evil”) … Somehow, the Heart Brain (in conjunction with our neocortex) has the capability to encourage us to behave contrary to the primal, self-centered instincts of the reptile brain. It subtly “whispers” to us to behave compassionately and to orient our actions on helping the collective as opposed to helping only ourselves …
These are the senses that, when combined with the more pragmatic “evidence” provided by the five “primary senses”, help to provide us with a more accurate portrayal of the Universe in which we live …
