Spiritual Senses

Here is the text of this conversation:

“Let's try some pith. I talked about eyes and ears and skin and even taste. But you see in your existence, it is the senses that gather information for you. Long ago, those simple creatures who let part of their neural network wander away from the brain found that having means to ascertain physical reality would ensure survival. ‘If I can't see the bad thingies, they might eat me. And if I can't hear you, you can sneak up and on me.’ So the physical forms created means to apprehend the physical realities.

 “You are, in your bodies, well-tuned receivers of the physical data. Have any idea how much it takes to walk down a street and survive. Try it blindfolded and with ear plugs. But hey, you developed the apparatus to deal.

“Ok. That's for this physical level of complexity. Your spirits can develop likewise. So, in a non-physical realm, slowly but surely, you develop other organs of sense--spiritual organs of spiritual sense like the eyes and ears and skin that learned to reach out and perceive. So, the spirit can reach out and perceive, and it's not in physical ways but it is still an extension of your being.

“What would spiritual perception be like? You already glimpse it in what are called ‘spiritual experiences’ in which nothing is seen or heard or touched or tasted or smelled, but still you know it happens and you are aware beyond your physical senses. So ponder this: What do spiritual eyes see, what do spiritual ears hear, etc., etc. And what senses have you no names of, which are cognizant there. [such a great question. Cause you know, I have had spiritual experiences. I have felt things physically, but they're not physical.] That's not the spiritual side. That's the physical relating to your experience of spirit. [Right, right, right, right, right. And it's important to know the difference.] And often peeps confuse and mistake one for the other. [I can totally understand that the problem is separating them] And in more complex beings, there are both glimpses of what is beyond spirit… another topic… and vestiges of what was experienced physically. Here I might say ‘I know,’ but then I remember when I could say ‘I saw’ even though I don't see now. Ponder all that and come to talk about the ‘beyond spirit’ comment."
