All of our senses can be fooled at some point, so a healthy amount of skepticism is useful.

Also, our enormous brains are far more capable of sensory fusion and interpolation than we think. I feel that is where our intuition comes from, we are always evaluating everything at once and intuition is a way for your subconscious to signal things that are important, like danger, and mating opportunities.

6 senses that is. your right especially about the sixth sense. we are not great at anything and don't even use much of this huge brain we have. the sixth sense is like gut feeling and that im in danger feeling and your will. humans are very out of touch with so much. we have to lose a sense to make another sense work better. the more tech we get the worse that will get.

Ya, the five senses certainly do not paint the entire picture of reality... they can be easily duped. As others have mentioned, we have other senses as well. I'm challenged with balance & equilibrium
thanks to chronic vertigo, as it requires input from a numbers of senses, the primary being the Inner ear - this is the one for which I'm compromised. So I then depend on sight, and proprioception - which is sensory feedback from your skin and muscles.

You hear of pilots "flying by the seat of your pants." When disoriented, they are trained to sense where and how the plane is pulling them in their seat and straps. Similarly for scuba divers... they are trained to figure out which way their bubbles are going.

How many times have we visually perceived something incorrectly? heard it incorrectly? smelled something that was not there? cold can feel like hot?

We are constantly measuring and interpreting the world and correcting and learning.

Sounds a lot like something that Deepak Chopra would say. Something on the sub-atomic level has nothing to do with our senses. if Michio Kaku ever said that anything similar to what you are describing I'd sure like to see the quote.

I believe it is a scientific fact (I am not a scientist) that we are all vibrations. That all solid matter is vibration. These vibrations vary in frequencies. So solid matter is not so solid but held together by these frequencies. WE are vibrations. We vibrate at various frequencies. Internally, our organs also vibrate at their frequencies. We could say that we are walking symphonies When we are healthy our symphony is harmonious. When an organ gets sick, its vibration lowers and interferes with our harmony creating dissonance. After coming to this conclusion, one day I read a statement saying the same thing by Michio Kachu, (Hope I spelled him correctly) the famous scientist. It makes me wonder what things can raise our vibrations to a higher level. Any thoughts?

There's the fact that we only see a tiny portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and only here a small slice of the range of sound waves. Bees can see in what we call ultraviolet, and dogs can hear much higher pitches that we can, as examples.

There's also the fact that we don't take in everything (or most of us don't). Our brains fill stuff in. And often it does it wrong. We evolved to try not to be prey. Too much detail would definitely get in the way.

This is what I get from this post.
Examples:
Sight: Something might look nice but may hurt you.
Sound: Something may sound beautiful/intriguing but lead you to danger.
Touch: Something may feel nice but may attack you.
Smell: Something may smell good but may actually be rotten.
Taste: Something may taste good but may poison you.

In this sense, it is incomplete and misleading without knowledge, experience, intuition, and/or instinct.

wait a second here. All you folks are way ahead of me here. I need some catching up.... This all doesn't make sense to me. What other senses might there be?

Advices that may help -
• do not drink the fluoridated water.
• do not mistrust your subconscious
• do not accept that the last proof seen/read/heard is final
• never accept that your solitary understanding is wrong because everyone else says that it is
• unless you lose it naturally let your hair grow long
• tune in to the earth

I can go with things beyond our 5 senses or the limits of those. SOme now argue there are more than 5 now

Did he elaborate? Suggest anything that could be done about it?
