The 6th sense

What is the 6th sense?
First of all try to read the following out loud and very slow. It might make a point.
The 6th sense is simply brain functions that take part in the subconscious level of the mind, but more or less some of us can perceive them in a conscious level.
I would actually say that we all can perceive them; we have the ability to, it is just whether we want, care or bother to, whether we notice it, experience it, or whether it holds any interest to us. As you will see from the following article in Brain anatomy and consciousness analysis, we tend to focus our attention on certain things that are of our interest or concern, and thus this way lot’s of information becomes subconscious because we simply don’t take it into consideration, not even for a split second. Each one of us has his/her own personality, way of thinking and pretty much all the attributes that characterize us and make us individual. It is totally up to us whether we going to become more self-aware of subconscious information and signals that the brain supplies us with or simply not bother. After all, some of us do give a damn!
Is a very interesting way to see it, and it is much better than keep talking mambo jambo about the subject. Is about time to link paranormal with factual understanding and expand our knowledge and perception in the matter.
Introduction
Yes the 6th sense exists, but it might not be just a sense, such as taste and vision, but a result of the complexity and fast processes that our brain consists of. Many of these processes happen so fast and in a way that we don’t get to perceive them consciously or properly at most times. We can be unfamiliar and uncertain with how to interpret the nature of these signals and we doubt them as the conscious mind will always intervene and slow down the process of realization. That’s because we tend to analyze and think over various cues that we perceive from our environment. Even if we know that they act on a subconscious level, we still don’t pay attention at this extra information that our brain supplies us with, at all times. Somehow our conscious mind does notice subconscious information, the processes do communicate in a certain extend but they are fast. After all the connection and limits between subconscious and conscious are matters of perspective.
Our lack of understanding of how our brain works and this excitement for superstition has led us into either be shallow and apathetic towards it, uninterested or ignorant, curious and amazed of it, or simply confused as we don’t know what to make of it. Is like walking on a rope, trying to balance between science and factual understanding, versus paranormal, self experience and awareness. But they both drive us after all. We need both. They both raise questions, observe reality and insist on answers and speculation of the subject, they strive to prove the facts and the lies, to explain the unexplainable. That’s evolution of understanding. And we wouldn’t have achieved it if we didn’t notice things that on the first sight they may seem crazy, silly or paranormal but on the second thought, hey they are there and ignoring them is more like disillusioning our selves and deny to evolve. Research is needed, an everlasting strive to acquire knowledge, a never ending battle to learn and understand our nature and the universe. And for every new step there is a need to change our perception.
So is better to look towards brain functions rather than paranormal. See, the moment that we try to explain something as extraordinary we simply condemn it to sound illusive. Yet is good to keep our minds open, and even if science cant give a reason for everything that concerns the 6th sense, we can always still believe in these extraordinary things, just so we don’t forget them, by implementing them into our lives, society or culture and thus keeping them alive and expanding our knowledge of personal experience on it.
Spirits, 6th sense, magic, everything has an explanation but the point is how many years, eons, millennia will take for us to understand them and how we change our perception about them thru out time. That’s the most important.
So in order to speak of the 6th sense we need first to explain what the conscious levels of the mind are and what they are for. Then we won’t only be able to explain the 6th sense but many more things that arise thru our magnificent brain. See, it doesn’t always have to be hocus pocus!

hey,
interesting topics.
Did you have some successes developing your sixth sense yet?
I’m going to turn to this topic sooner or later too on my blog.
It’s fascinating stuff
Greetings Frank.

Hallo.
There is great stuff in your blog too, I really enjoyed it. I guess after all the idea of making blogs is for likeminded people to find and link to each other. It inspire us and motivates us when we can share and exchange ideas.
Everybody has intellect and thus a 6th sense, given our sophisticated design, comprised of advanced proccesses that promote a fashinating supply of information and cosnciousness expansion.
It comes more: down to the sociological, psycological, historical, religious (you name it) factors that actually confuse and derail the whole subject into something that we cant fully define and determine.
So yes from the moment that I have a working brain, I have a 6th sense too (inner intelligence potential), is one and the same. Developing it though will come down to whether I want to expand myself thru it. Is a matter of perspective. And it will always be.
Thanks for reading
