5 senses

[Forest]

Assume that everything science says is true.

IF everything that you perceive as reality through your 5 senses are only chemical and electrical

signals being processed in your brain, do you believe there is a way to achieve a higher sense of

reality, a 6th, or 7th sense?

Is there a way to remotely view the universe not from an organic system?

Or is the very concept of "Viewing reality" something that applies only to a human mind, and it's

perspective which was developed through us possessing these 5 senses.

what guarantee is there that the 5 senses cover the whole possible experience?

what do you think

 

[Ciao]

Sorry, but there are more than 5 senses.

 

[Kyuurama]

Who knows, we could have 6th sense already and not know it... it's conceptual.

Vague...... Yeah there have been people that say this, but it is later debunked as the brain being able to predict certain patterns, which are instinctually embedded to respond to environmental stimuli. I guess thats a complicated form of a sense, but I mean more of an actual perceiving of a form of energy, like light, sound, heat.

 

[Sasuke]

I have 6 senses. My 6th sense is that I can detect trolls on here.

 

[Sir Blades]

Moms have a 6th sense.

 

[Hunty]

Moms have a 6th sense.

"Who touched my shit in my room?!"

Even though she hasn't seen the item in years.

You do perceive energy, its the sense of heat. Thirst and hunger are both senses too. Ever notice that it feels like it takes a while for your classes to end? Humans also have a sense of time. There are still more.

Oh hell yeah they sure do. Sometimes they have 2 sets of eyes. ONe in the front and one in the back

Meh. Everyone with a working brain has that

There are more than 5 senses, such as the sense of depth and where is body is in relation to space. However, I think what you are trying to say is, is there another level of consciousness that we just haven't obtained. The only answer to that question is that we just don't know. It's like asking someone to imagine something in 4D. Unless we have seen a fourth dimensional object we cannot imagine one. The same goes for consciousness. Unless we meet someone/something that has a higher level of consciousness, we really don't know if it exists, but in theory a higher conscious does exist. We just don't know if it exists in reality.

wouldn't the sense of heat be a sense of touch? Time is relative to the observer, but how do YOU really sense time.... You see environmental changes that lead you to believe certain things about time.... If u flew at 10 pm during the summer solstice from New york, to some where at a high latitude like the north Pole, You would see bright daylight and think that it would be early in the day, but it would really be the fact that that region of the planet receives like 22 Hours of sunlight on the summer solstice.

Wouldn't the sense of depth be a Complex combination of the sense of SIght,touch, and hearing? Can a deaf, blind, paralyzed, person know where there body is in relation to space?
but yeah i think you understand where I am getting at. The fact that we can think about the higher perception shows how complex the brain is. What's strange is that The people who theorize these things claim they have experienced it.

Well these aren't suggestions or opinions, haha. What I mentioned is fact, however, I understand that you're talking about things like clairvoyance, etc. I am doubtful that there are any other senses that we don't already know of.

same here though XD and Yes exactly... Things like Out of Body experience, remote view, Astral projection, telepathy, and things i guess that would be called "Super Natural"..

Well, there is a difference between seeing something and being able to perceive where it is located in space. I can see a tree, but I cannot necessarily tell you how far away it is. Moreover we also have a sense of numbers. If I ask you how long is 3.154 E2 seconds, you won't know. But if I ask how long is 365 days, you can tell me a year and will have a sense of how long that feels.
Another example of this is your internal clock. You don't know what time it is when you're sleeping, but you still manage to get up at the same time. If you're suppose to wake up at a certain time for a very important event, you manage to wake up a few mins before your alarm. Something you even wake up a few mins after because it never went off. You didn't know what time is was when you were sleeping, but you somehow knew to wake up at that time.

The brain is very complex. We have more synapses than there are stars in the Milky Way.

True true and true. Do you think that the fact we can sense other peoples emotions is also another form of the "sense". Or is it just another complex algorithm of seeing and hearing Ie the body language, facial expression, tone of voice etc etc. I see what you are saying though the brain and its synapses have almost unlimited potential for the idea of "Sense". I guess It can get really wordy when talking about sensing and perception and generalizing and blending them into the same category.

We are very limited in our perception of the world and reality in general. You know the 3 dimensions we can move in? Up/down, left/right/forward/backward? I read somewhere that scientists say there may be more of those, but we would never know because we can only perceive those 3. The same might be true for our senses. So if anything, our perception of reality is incomplete, maybe there is a sense that would allow us to view the universe naturally.

Quasimoto dude
question: Do psychedelic drugs IE shrooms, Acid, DMT, etc allow us to see past these limitations? These are the beliefs of the ancient shaman from all over the world. Is this possible? Or is it just a distorted result from the chemical reactions s going off in the brain. But then that brings the question, Since this perception is so powerful, what is to say that something could not alter it, and in the way it alters produce something that IS a reality. Should psychedelic hallucinations be so quickly dismissed as simply "Trips" or is there something more sacred going on in them that we do not acknowledge because of the connotations society has taught us to believe about drugs.............. You don't really have to answer this i just like talking about this shit llol

Unfortunately, I am not really an expert or pretend to be on the brain. However, senses are just ways through which the brain obtains information that can be used to enhance our survival. The sense of depth allows us to see predators and pray and know how far away they are. The sense of time lets us sleep at night and wake up in the morning where we can see best. The sense of sight lets us see and make sense of the world around us; etc... You have to remember that even though we live in a world surrounded by technology we are still living with the same brains as our ancestors. A sense is really just a survival technique that the brain uses to keep us alive. We just happen to say there are 5 sense because those are really the only ones we can describe easily, and they are also the major ones that we recognize and share with other animals.

Yeah he's pretty sick. Lol

And it's cool, i'll give it a shot even though I might not have any clue what I'm saying lol. I believe mind altering substances don't necessarily give you any sort of ability to let you perceive stuff past our normal senses, and that they pretty much just give you hallucinations, but I do believe one day we'll be able to make a drug that allows us to see a new reality.

The internet is kind of an example, it's man made, but it's not really "real." I'm not saying it's really a new dimension, but still. Imagine if one day we'll be able to create a drug that can make our brains see a new reality, just like virtual reality, more than just the mere hallucinations that any plants or drugs can give you.

Hope this wasn't too dumb lol

No not at all bro, this is kind of what i was proposing in my OG Post, something that lets you see a new reality outside of our organic body. This virtual reality is right on along the same lines of that new Movie called "Transcendence". Which looks sick and I'm without doubt gonna go perceive that shit under the substance of GANJA

Right on Would it be condescending and materialistic to say that this ancestral programming is outdated at this point? Lol Our imaginations are surpassing our physical capabilities.
