About This Book
The author defines a sixth, or mystic, sense as an inner perceptive faculty that links humans to the spiritual or psychic order and distinguishes human perception from the bodily senses. He traces its relation to touch and to the specialized senses, argues for their evolutionary unity, and outlines specialized inner functions analogous to sight, hearing, and testing. Subsequent chapters examine how this faculty influences physical health, intellectual creativity, moral character, and religious experience. Practical cultivation and ethical use are proposed as ways to deepen intuitive insight, expand understanding, and integrate transcendent awareness into everyday life.
