Understanding the Gift of Paransensate Perception in the Paranormal Realm
Paranormal sensitivity is a spiritual gift that allows individuals to perceive the profound layers of the spirit realm, intertwined with the spiritual fabric of the cosmos. This unique ability is not isolated but integrated into the holistic experience of life, enabling a deeper connection with the unseen and unmeasurable.
What is a Spiritual Sensate?
Instead of using the term "paranormal sensitive," I prefer the term "spiritual sensate." This shift in terminology is intentional, as it aligns with the belief that there is nothing "para-normal" or unusual about such an individual or gift, though this perspective is often overlooked in a strictly materialistic framework. A spiritual sensate primarily perceives the world through intuition, or the sixth sense, which is described as the spiritual thread in the Great Web of creation.
The Sixth Sense and the Fifth Element
The spiritual sensate's intuition is particularly focused on the fifth element of life - ether or space. This element is central to many spiritual traditions, including the ancient Ayurvedic tradition. The spiritual sensate understands the most basic experience of all life and reality through the lens of this fifth element, enlivening and emboldening the full spectrum of the six senses.
Powers and Perils of Being a Spiritual Sensate
While the experience of being a spiritual sensate can be a powerful blessing, it is also a heavy burden. The combination of receiving, accessing, and developing intuitive giftedness within the infinite and eternal spaciousness of the ether can lead to an overwhelming intensity of experience. The subtlety of the divine boundless realm requires great courage and discipline to navigate. The risk of losing one's identity amidst this vast unbound space is real, and the journey back to oneself can be perilous.
