Sight Touch Taste Hearing Smell Were perfectly contrived by nature to equip us to decipher the most complex and simplest of information of which all are physical. If none of these senses can decipher it, then it is quite simply deemed a phenomena right? Meaning we have ansolutely no grasp on it at all right? So WHY do people put faith in something they simply cannot explain and dismiss it as FAITH...FAITH IN WHAT....IF YOU CAN'T FUCKING EXPLAIN WHAT THE HELL IT IS...WHY WOULD YOU PUT FAITH IN IT? JUST ASKIN....  so we know when 2 change our underwear Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3 | |

How about intuition? Exactly... Aristotle was the main man who numbered the senses. And we still use his rudimentary count of five senses today... But really, we have many more senses. We have a sense designed for orientation in relation to gravity for example. Where is up and where is down etc... We have intuitive senses, like Abrazo says, which are not of the telekanetic and 'mysterous forces' ilk, but senses of right or wrong for example. We have senses which detect the well being of another person - we can tell if someone is sad, happy, sick etc... We have senses which are designed to trigger emotional response. If you walk into a dark room in an empty house that is 200 years old you may feel fear. But why do you feel fear? It may be what you see and hear (or think you see and hear), but it is just another intuitive sense of danger or sense of the unknown... And thats why people can put faith in something they cant sense by way of the 5 main senses. Because other senses less obvious tell us other things... There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music. - George Eliot

What about people who have the ability to see future events? Many people have claimed to be able to know things that are going to happen- things that could not have been predicted by rational computation and process of elimination.

Sight Touch Taste Hearing Smell Were perfectly contrived by nature to equip us to decipher the most complex and simplest of information of which all are physical.

So WHY do people put faith in something they simply cannot explain and dismiss it as FAITH...FAITH IN WHAT....IF YOU CAN'T FUCKING EXPLAIN WHAT THE HELL IT IS...WHY WOULD YOU PUT FAITH IN IT? JUST ASKIN.... R senses r limited… proof? When we loose one sense often another will heighten in order 2 balance the loss. This is research based theory not opinion bringing the following thought… why WOULD u choose only 2 believe in those things a limited mind and set of senses can ascertain? The universe is beyond my complete comprehension thus I do not dare 2 have explanation 4 all the forces that lay within it. Who am I 2 say that there is not a higher perception available than the one my physical body possesses? What If I choose 2 question my limited senses and not be a sheep 2 them by following only those aspects of the universe that they lead me 2? Energy itself is not completely understood… its mechanics r explained by a theory. When we speak in absolutes we miss the point… Is emotion only a physical sense? Emotions cause chemicals 2 secrete in2 the brain that can be monitored by scan but is the emotion the cause or the result of the chemical reaction? No one knows that answer… they theorize but it is not possible 2 have an absolute. So is emotion only a concept that the physical brain processes or is it beyond the physical and in2 the spiritual? Then there is the question of how one chooses 2 define spiritual. My own definition is one beyond the physical restrictions of my physical body… one that transcends the conscious mind in2 the higher self i.e. unconscious that is connected 2 every other living thing in the universe. If I speak of having ‘faith’ in something or someone it is a conscious choice 2 say I do not dare 2 be as pertinacious as 2 say I have every answer the universe holds and therefore place it in a box limited by mere mortal physical self. Just because I cannot explain it by way of physical senses does not mean it does not exist. And what is so wrong with not understanding everything in the universe? Do u truly think that is even possible? And if it were what would that mean? I instead have ‘faith’ in the universe itself that what it has lead me 2 or what it has lead 2 me is of the highest regard if and only if I am at peace with it. If that 6th sense some speak of is what it is so be it… if it is something completely different so be it. I am humble when it comes 2 this because I have seen and experienced more than I could possibly begin 2 explain, within the limits of the 5 senses, in my relatively short years on this planet. Some of the most precious moments of my life have occurred 4 no other reason than the fact that I made the conscious choice 2 have faith in another, faith in myself and faith in the universe 2 step out of the known or ordinary and in2 the unknown. The path was lit not by my physical but by the universe... I don’t question why. I have no need 2. Does that make me unintelligent? Less aware? A slave 2 an environment? I have not encountered an environment in my own life that supports my own beliefs so it may be the former but it is mos def not the later. The blessings I receive when I trust, have faith, faith without physical proof… they r more than ‘worth’ the experience I gain. | |

Good Answer...but if it takes the physical to create the physical where do we draw conclusions from a source that simply does not register in the physical world? I think this is the realm of spirituality, where each finds her or his own individual truth. | |

What the name of the sense that tells you to turn around when something you can't see is staring at you? We all have it. "Behind every successful woman there is an astonished man."  General Ann Dunwoody | |

 I'd call that a degree of energy sensitivity. | |

Or, what is it called when you wake up and you know something is wrong with your child and you walk in her room, and her pillow is full of blood from a nose bleed and she's still quietly asleep. Intuition, Holy Spirit.....whomever, whatever you call it...its there. and my EXPERIENCE with that "thing" or element Dex says you can't explain is very real. I FEEL it, I see it and know it. You can't discredit my EXPERIENCE with something just because it doesn't make "sense" to you. | |

Could it be that we all have the ability to feel something beyond the 5 senses, and some people are somehow blocking this for themselves? | |

what's funny is we can only taste salt, sour, bitter and sweet. everything else is our sense of smell. |
