Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
— Isaiah 2:22

Sixth and
Seventh Senses … p. 61
Quite unwittingly we all too often fail to apprehend the true nature of another when we ignore our own spirituality, that which embodies our sixth and seventh senses, namely, intuition and understanding.
Albeit, to the great misfortune of many, if not most, our upbringing pays little attention to our life-giving spirituality, tending instead to favour our physical well-being. We are taught that we have only five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
Perceptive only to the intuitive spiritual mind (the 6th sense), unexpressed thoughts and emotions of another, be they conscious or unconscious, are sensed and made known. To enable this spiritual awareness and understanding (the 7th sense), the listener becomes one with the speaker by at once remaining silent and exposed. Of a sudden, an unspoken trust between two people is born. Thus is forged the basis of a rich and enduring relationship; one that we otherwise would never have known.
