The Sense of Gnosis

Most of us as school children were taught that there are five basic human senses (touch, taste, sight, smell, sound).  But over the years, the overlapping fields of study (from neuroscience to cognitive psychology) have determined that there are at LEAST nine more senses, and some posit that it could be well over 20.

In the modern world, we've used these sciences to understand more and more about the cosmos, biological evolution, humans as a species, and the traits associated within both our bodies and our minds, and to better understand ourselves and our roles within the universe.

The human race is still evolving.  Not only our technologies and science, but our bodies as well.  Strictly from a philosophical standpoint, can we not conclude that certain sciences (and the eventual evolution of our minds as a species) could eventually show an additional "sense" within humanity to explain spiritual experiences that individuals have had throughout humanity, which has served for the very basis of belief in an intangible Divine Creator?

Could something as simple as an additional human "sense" be what causes the "awareness" or "enlightenment" of individuals of the world to proclaim a belief in a "God" that is beyond the basic five human senses that we've all relied on to understand our world?

It's been said that "if God exists, why doesn't he just show himself?"  Assuming that "he" does, can we not assume that perhaps "he" has, but that we as a collective species choose to either ignore or disassociate completely with a basic, biological human sense of perception?

After all, there are people that are blind, deaf, mute, etc., as well as people who have better sight, hearing, and smelling senses than others...could the difference in an individual, biological human sense explain why some people believe in, claim to experience, and/or disbelieve in a Divine Creator?

Could an individual, biological human sense also account for such persons that have been labeled "prophets, messengers, and masters"?  Perhaps such a perceptionary sense is particularly strong in such individuals?

Here's the kicker.  You can actually exercise and fine tune your senses.

Tune into the Self.
