More than 5 senses? (Spirituality)

[Kathryn]

Oh, and to some people, but not all people. cilantro tastes like soap.

 

[George-ananda]

In some books I’ve read/am reading, there is talk about perceiving beyond your five senses. Like, a sixth sense. Some sort of intuitive gut feeling that you get I guess.

Do I really have to try to exceed and go beyond my five sense to be spiritual? Are my five senses not adequate?

Five senses are adequate to be spiritual. The added experiences some have though can tell us more about the nature of reality.

I can always guess the number of beans in a jar or the number really of anything, like matches in a heap or whatever.

I can as well.

When I was a senior in high school, I won a really nice boombox by correctly guessing the quantity of jellybeans in a large jar.

For the record, I was tested for autism as an adult, and it was concluded that I am not autistic.

And some people can see more colors than other people.

I also experience this.

I'm glad it doesn't taste like that to me.

Same here! I love cilantro! But apparently like many other people, I am missing some gene that makes me taste bitter things better, like dark beer, Brussel sprouts, etc.

Which just means that I like them. LOL

Weird about the jellybeans. I won a nice pair of binoculars once!

It doesn't feel weird to me because I've been this way my whole life.

It was a very nice boombox, but I didn't keep it. I gave it as a gift to a classmate's sister who had leukemia, along with a mixtape I made for her.

Sadly, she passed away about six months later, and her brother kept it and the mixtape as a reminder of her.

LOL I didn't give away anything. In fact I recently found those binoculars again! But your story is nice.
