The following is from the course on psychic-spiritual development that I am working on (ad which is some time off completion as yet). 

***  

Let’s start some basic considerations of psychic matters – beginning with forms of psychic sensing, also sometimes referred to as nonphysical sensing, extrasensory perception, or ESP, a “sixth sense”, and a whole host of folk names such as “second sight”. 

The approach that I have found most useful is to view the nonphysical sense as higher octaves of the physical senses. 

The five physical senses are touch, taste, smell, hearing, and seeing; with their “higher octave” (or “higher frequency”/less dense or nonphysical) versions, that becomes: 

However, I consider the assessment of physical senses as being five in number is wrong – which is a view I first came across with Brendan Myers’ idea of thinking as an organ of perception, which makes intuition the nonphysical version of thinking … 

That was further developed through my study of autism, which introduced me to interoception, or awareness of internal signals about the body (such as hunger, thirst, etc), and proprioception, or the sense of body position/movement/place in immediate reality. 

On top of that, I have speculated that our interaction with reality, including our various forms of communication, is another “sense”, one related to our impact on our surrounds – because we are not passive objects in reality: we exert influence(s), for better or worse, or just occasionality neutrally. 

Adding those additional senses to the list above, and the table is expanded to the following: 

PS - the nonphysical entry in the last row in the table above could also be described as magickal will 

The various nonphysical senses can generally be further developed with practice.  

 

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 3,170 - My current version of picking up and returning "happy rocks"

As a partly humorous aside, and partly to make a genuine point, something I used to do as a teenager was pick up “happy rocks”, and then carry those around with me for a while, then, when the rocks were no longer happy, return them to what I termed “their family” - i.e., back to where I had found them. 

In the current winter, some of the deciduous trees in the street and our yard are shedding their leaves, but without the autumnal colours I am used to in such trees (and, obviously, much later than I am used to). 

These leaves will mostly become part of the natural mulch in the soil, but some inevitably get carried inside, and I try to return as many of those as I can to the outside world. 

This gives me a sense that those leaves “enjoy” being returned to where they can continue their natural function - and, having written about that now, I will be making more of an effort to ensure that happens. 

Along a similar line, when we first moved here, as a way of introducing our possessions and us to our new natural world, I would, with the permission of the tree involved, borrow one of the tree’s leaves for a few days, take it home to absorb our vibes and ensure we “absorb” the vibes of the new neighbourhood, and then return it to the tree (more specifically, the ground underneath the tree canopy). 

Being in the place that allows one to fulfil one's function is good, but that can change for mobile forms of Sentient Life such as humans (and other animals), in which case establishing connection with the new place is good - good manners, as much as anything else. I have read rituals aimed at doing so formally and with more powerful aspects of the new place, but “simply” being aware and making the effort to share space also helps.
