We are all aware that we have 5 senses, and as we have discussed before, some are aware of a few more. Those “common” senses are vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Collectively, they all work together to provide us with the input about our surroundings that we need to function on a daily basis, and in most cases, keep us free from harm.
There are those who, for a variety of reasons, may not have full use of those 5 senses; people may be blind, they may be deaf, or they may suffer from a variety of other conditions which may render the other 3 primary senses incapable of providing the input they were intended to provide. In these cases, other senses may become more acute, and can help to compensate for the missing senses by providing more information than they normally would.
We all also tend to use our perceptions of what we sense to believe certain, or particular, things about our environment. We see a blue sky, and assume that everybody else can see a blue sky – that same blue sky that we can see. But is that an accurate perception? Perhaps not. People that are color blind may not see a blue sky; they may not see the hues of green plants, or the beauty of the colors of fall in New England (in the United States). But when any 2 different people look at a blue sky, do they always see the same shade of blue? Or the same purple of a flower in the garden? Does the bark of a dog sound the same? Can 2 people process a sound, and with the same characteristics of that sound?
Our input from senses is an inherent ability, but how we perceive the input from those senses is largely learned. And what we perceive is somewhat dependent on our perspective.
When creation and the Constructs were being formed, there was much “discussion” about the nature of sensory inputs that would be available to a Soul during their incarnate existence. We mentioned the 5 “standard” senses, but Life forms have a very wide variety of sensory inputs at their disposal, depending on the particular Life form, location, Universe, Dimension, and their relationship to other objects (which could be very different that perspective). There were tradeoffs regarding the sensory abilities; in an organic Life form it was not considered practical for each individual body to have their basic sensory organs exactly the same; there would be differences due to genetics, environmental factors (such as toxins, inadequate nutrition, sensory input outside of limits (too loud or bright, as an example)), or an inability to adequately process that sensor input. So, despite everybody being able to see a blue sky, the specific shade of “blue” will have very subtle differences from one individual to another. In short, all bodies are individually unique, and despite the great commonalities we all have, there are enough subtle differences in our senses to provide a different experience.
So why is this discussion important? Because there is one element of existence that is not accounted for in any of the basic senses.
That one element is Energy. Energy forms the basis for everything that exists. Everything that is physical begins, or is formed from, Energy. So what exactly is Energy? This is a difficult question to answer – Souls on Terra have defined “Energy” in terms that can be quantified by the laws of nature as they are understood on Terra. However, that is a very limited and incomplete perspective.
Energy does not necessarily have a relationship to work. Energy can be either coherent or incoherent. It may have an associated frequency, but it does not have to. It is not required to have any form of potential Energy values. The Energies that we are discussing here may have consciousness (and likely does). Within some constraints, Energy may exhibit multidimensional properties. It is not electricity, heat, or chemical.
The Energy that we are discussing consists of small quanta (or amounts) of discrete Energies, the same Energies that existed during creation. As we have discussed before, there are 7 different discrete Energies, each with slightly properties. They can “combine” (although “work together” is likely a more appropriate term) in many different ways. It is these combined Energies that make up the Souls for all Life. Because these Soul Energies have an ability to attract and communicate, they are considered sentient.
Why is this important in the context of human senses and perception? Because every Soul was given an inherent ability to communicate with other Souls; this communication and sensory capability can be used to communicate and sense all of the elements in and of your surroundings. And since it is based on the base Energies of all of creation, it provides a level of commonality between all of the different elements of creation. So, for instance, it would not matter that one person might “see” a particular shade of green and purple when looking at a plant that their friend; if both were to use their inherent abilities to look at the Energies of the plant, they would find that the differences that they can visualize with their sensory input could be eliminated – specifically because they are sensing an input at the base Energy level of the Soul.
Can anybody sense these base Energies? Yes, with some amount of work – this ability was not denied to any Soul, but most humans on Terra have learned to only rely on the input that their 5 primary sensed provide. If they can “feel it”, they believe it. If they cannot feel it, then it does not exist or it cannot be trusted. How would one develop or use these abilities? They are all attainable when people go into a deep meditation – deep enough that they have the ability to communicate with their own Soul. It requires that people be very adept at sensing all of the Energies around them; it requires a significant level of relaxation, focus, and discipline. It is at this level of consciousness that people can sense the Energies in and around a candle flame for instance, or communicate with the Souls of stones – both first steps in the process of learning to communicate and be aware. And this all is typically done with the eyes closed (at least initially).
This is important because it allows Souls to “level the field” when relying on input from your sensory abilities. 2 Souls may see a different blue sky, but they can both feel and coexist with that blue sky, and understand they are looking at (and experiencing) the same thing. This ability will become more important as Souls continue on their own spiritual path to higher Dimensions; Since the 5 “human” senses would have very limited use in higher Dimensions (other sensory abilities exist there), being able to sense these kind of Energies will make the initial excursions in the higher planes of existence much easier to navigate and exist in.
For those interested, I see/experience the sky, in Red/Green/Blue (RGB) terms as 165R/229G/255B (The color “Lambent” on the website “https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7f/95/c6/7f95c602630eb482982072ec81656b51.png“). And if given a choice, I MUCH prefer the smell of skunk to any cigar.
