Senses are the original portals of consciousness, our earliest way of knowing. Senses are intelligence agents but the power of mind overrides what we actually see, hear and sense. Slow down and smell the flowers.

In our busy mind and modern world, we forget to sense. We think and think and forget to listen to the tone while we focus on the words. We view the world with names and labels but we don’t see it. We need and want to touch, but it’s loaded with assumed motives and so we don’t. We like to taste but we gorge with such speed that we don’t really savor.

And smell is “smelly,” so we seek to cover it up. Because of our modern pollution, we defend and close our senses. We block out sounds and sights and smells. And because of technology, we destroy our senses, hurt our eyes with car lights, destroy our ears with loudness, compromise our taste with fast food, and are out of touch with nature. Thus, we lose our humanity and connection to our animal being. Open your senses.

Get sensible – sense and be intelligent. Really look at things and people and nature. Really listen to the sounds. Really sense. In this pre-verbal way of sensory cognition, we intuit. Don’t lose your intuitive knowing as you try to think it out rather than feel it out.

Use your meta-sensory faculties for instinctively and intuitively knowing. Use your wisdom nose and smell out the truth. Sound it out to know if it’s sound. Check out how tasty a choice is. Get a taste of it. Feel out the situation. See with the new eyes of wow, with the beginner’s open mind and get insight.

Be a sensitive

But not a delicato.

Be a sensor

Not a censor.

Get Sensual

Gorge the air

Feel the energy

Listen to the silence

Kiss the sky

Taste life

Embrace the earth.

Cross your senses

Hear what you see

Smell what you touch

Give color to your thoughts

Sounds to your emotions.
