I always wondered why my mind would drift and soar through different planes, no construct, but a free flowing and flexible media in my head. There are no permanent shapes and scenes would appear out of the norm just like the movie “Inception”. I visualized everything from my future to my cartoon presence etc. In that state I created everything. I was a director and every scene was mine to mould.
All these seemed like nothing more than a mirage till i heard the word “De Ja vu” and started experiencing it. I would dream it or create a thought about it and it will appear in reality, then it occurred to me that humans are much more than the 5 senses of touch, smell, hear, sight and taste. We have higher faculties that help us achieve all we possibly can. they are:
Perspective
perspective is defined by how we see things, its our hindsight on life and what it is all about i.e. our point of view. Our perspective creates our arguments and opinions. it could be as dark as night or brighter than the day
Imagination
Imagination is the ability to form new images and sensations in the mind that are not perceived through senses such as sight, hearing, or other senses. its what we use to create our future. Every thing visible by sight was first created in the mind. Albert Einstein was quoted saying “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
Intuition
Many of us confuse intuition as a “sixth sense”. The truth is that the intuition is a mental factor. We can define intuition as an instant idea or an immediately answer we receive without even thinking about it.
Reason
Reason is our logical responses to what we imagine , our ‘thinking’ faculty. How can I bring what has been imagined to life and how can I create value with it? What would work and what wouldn’t? Reason tasks us with gathering the necessary information when making decisions.
Will
your will is your gut feeling to do, to accomplish and to go on regardless of external disturbances.It is the act of strongly desiring something to happen, trying to make something happen by hoping, or describing something you intend to happen in the future.
Memory
memory is the mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience. it enables us cherish previous moments and acts as well as prepare us for what is to come. It stores all knowledge gained patiently waiting for you to access it whenever and wherever.
In conclusion, human beings are born with much more than the basic 5 senses and only in the development of these higher faculties do we achieve all our goals and live a fruitful life.
