ABSTRACT
Sensing has tended to be a second-class citizen in Western epistemology, low on the intellectual-spiritual scale. It is often taken for granted, that one transcends the senses to reach deeper dimensions of intuition and spiritual development. The term "sense" is one of those uniting words that run through multiple dimensions of experiencing: the five senses, a sixth sense, common sense, sense as meaning, and as Sigmund Freud notes, consciousness as a sense organ for the perception of psychical qualities. The body visible is mostly invisible. Feeling touches us from unknown places or no place at all. Terms like body ego, body subject, body spirit, body soul, astral body, reverberate with multiple realities that colour life. One person felt his body a drill going into the ground, where he discovered a hidden subway system that no one knew but him. Eyes as a centre of consciousness above, mouth and body with centres below.
