Many animals seem to have a sixth sense or a heightened form of perception when compared with humans. For instance, spiders have a unique organ that allows them to sense minute strains on their exoskeleton, which helps them judge the size and weight of anything that gets caught in their webs. Dolphins use echolocation as a sonar device. And salmon, along with other fish, have the ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field. Another example is the mantis shrimp. They have what is called “polarization”, which enables them to detect and communicate with other mantis shrimp using linear polarized light. And, of course, a popular pet, the dog, can hear and smell well beyond human capacities.
The well-known philosopher, Aristotle, was the first to assign humans the five traditional senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. But what if we, like many other animals, could develop our perceptions beyond those five senses?
Sadhguru asks a question: “If someone enters your office, if you could know what to expect from this person, without uttering a word, it would be good, isn’t it?” He looks at what it would take to develop this perception.
