Re: Consciousness and senses

I do spiritual exercise daily where I just completely open up all my senses one by one, starting with the weakest/most neglected (smell) and moving up to the strongest (sight). I try to feel my whole body and let the senses melt together to let in life from all angles instead of letting my mind focus on what it thinks is important.

Sometimes when I walk, I really feel the ground beneath my feet, every step of the way. My consciousness seems to move down to the middle of my chest, because I experience all my senses simultaneously. It seems like sensory overload if you think about it, but it is the clearest experience possible.

Our senses are a window to the physical universe through which we (consciousness) receive life. Life is coming from all directions directly to us in the present.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
