From our initial years of schools we are taught about the five senses and not to forget about the enigmatic sixth sense.This belief is so entrenched in our system that any new entity,feeling or perception is right away labelled into the sixth sense without a much ado.A mind sees what it knows, and maybe there is much more to be known and discovered. The question is we would have discovered any other senses if we had any by now ;isn't it?
In ophthalmology there is a phenomenon that if a baby doesn't use his one eye in his initial years for any reason for that matter he developes ambylopia and squint is not able to see properly from the very eye. Sight one of our senses also needs a chance you see. Chance to be perceived and recognised.So everytime in the past when we dismissed something as intangible and inexplicable ; take a moment to wonder what it actually was. Give a chance to the zillion entities hidden in the pandora box of sixth sense.
What if instead of these five senses humanity had recognised and developed some other ones. Maybe there would have been no restrictions of the wavelengths we hear and we see and world would have been perceived as a whole different space. Or there would have been no thing as seeing and hearing and we could have contacted by telepathy or some other means altogether. Where instead of reading we could soak anything by osmosis and instead of tasting our source of energy would have just felt it radiating into us. What if there were some other dimension we could live in, where the definition of life was very different from what we understand. What if we are just a holographic picture of a hologram and the whole universe was an illusion. The chain of thought never ends and nor do the endless string of questions.
I choose to imagine a world where I could hear a picture or touch a fragrance because why not? And to not believe the color you see and I see to be the same. And to believe every spoken words I refrain. I choose to believe my instincts, observe things even when I am told to be wrong because somebody rightly said that 'There is no consensus on the census of senses'.
