Beyond the five known senses,
sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste,
sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste,
there may exist other forms of perceptions,
unexplained by science as of this year 2011.
These perceptions include forms
of knowing, such as that of intuition,
of healing, described as miraculous,
and of seeing, beyond the use of eyes.
Sensation, perception, emotion, and meaning
are all avenues of multi-sensorial perception.
The study of the brain, for example,
is a huge, uncharted territory of knowledge.
It seems a majority of people have a belief
that there are other senses than the main five.
With belief, comes openness.
So a key question here may be,
what has created the difference
between these five senses that come so naturally to us
and the others that come with difficulty, if at all?
And other questions surface.
Is it possible we just aren't paying attention to "other" senses we have,
as we barely pay attention to the five we know we have?
Or maybe, are these "other" senses just extensions
of our basic five, stretched past some unknown limits
we place on these?

This is a right for the future,
allowing for the development of new discoveries.
