Well - you can always take comfort in the fact that they'll all burn in hell. They might have their nasty girlfriends and their...their... filthy sexual relationships, and a desire to have a good sex life, but you'll be laughing when they're all burning and you're sat on a Deeee-luxe cloud huh?
Saying that, I hate that macho/jock/competitive attitude towards women that you might be alluding to.
Obviously it says Christianity because I am a Christian. The essay is one of opinion and was not presented as fact. The only reason I even linked it here was because of the discussion concerning the sixth sense: I thought it appropriate to discuss this "sense for the soul" as another possible sense along side other non-named senses such as balance etc. that have been brought up. If you would like to condescend on my views more or have a debate about my religion this isn't the thread to do it in. I won't be laughing and I don't think sexual relationships are filthy.
It came across a little like that.
You know, its still a secret yet. And, I guess until we know what it is all doors are wide open. I have to correct myself above, now I'm not sure what a secret is anymore:
se·cret (sē'krĭt)
adj.

Dependably discreet.
Operating in a hidden or confidential manner: a secret agent.
Not expressed; inward: their secret thoughts.

How about this, what if secret as in you are not physically/consiously aware of it until suddenly you are.
I maean look at cats and earthquakes ( mind you cats have n\more thatn 5 senses dont they, anyway?)
where was I oh yes earthquakes I assume never having been a cat that they are not constanly feeling no easryhquake no earthe qauke no earythquake and then oooohhh earthquake. but suddennly feel a need to hide/take shelter thus there earthquake sense is on and if they never lived through an earthquake the sense would always remain hidden "secret" from them.
Mind you even I can sensse an earthqauke a few seconds before the walls starts shaking so that was a rubbish example but you get my drift??
You still thinking about those exotic cat pictures in that thread over there. :lol: Well, the scientists can at least be sure the animals ran to higher ground before the Tsunami, and possibly the aboriginals just followed the animals. So, maybe you are onto something here. And, that is whats in the back of my head here too; is there something akin to 'cats' that is hidden away somewhere?Quote:

ao you have head banging cats? Ours like to dance to elvis...well one does anyway :lol:
Anyway back to secretr sense yes I think its like a secret agent as in works secretly.
Sorry, mono – I don’t understand your point – but then perhaps you didn’t understand mine. Are you saying that balance is not a sense? I know the things you mention but I don’t know that it’s as simple as to say that we have only five senses. Yes, every child is taught this but these assumptions are now rightly challenged. Have a look here:Quote:

I see what you're saying and agree wholeheartedly that the human is very interesting. To say it is more interesting than what is beyond human though can't really be supported because it depends upon the imagination of whoever you are talking to. I could imagine plenty of things that make the human dull in comparison;however, I also find that if I wasn't a human(some objective being) the human would be pretty high up there on the crazy things I imagine.Quote:

Is language, for example, a compound of those first 5 (or 9)?Quote:
The Twelve Senses
In the 1920s, at a time when conventional physiology only recognized five or six senses, Rudolf Steiner proposed that there were far more. He defined twelve senses; of these twelve, the first nine are now well-recognized: the equilibrioceptive (balance), proprioceptive (movement), nociceptive (sense of pain and wellness), tactile (touch), gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), thermoceptive (warmth), visual and auditory senses. Steiner proposed three more senses as well: the sense of phoneme or language, the sense of thought and the sense of ego (the ability to recognize an ego outside of our own); he termed these three 'higher senses' that depended upon the healthy development of the foundational senses of balance, movement, pain/wellness and touch. Steiner's last three senses have not been confirmed by scientific research; in particular, sensory organs for them would have to be found.
In my neck of the woods we do have cats that are into Status Quo, headbangers, and you are quite right about 'secret agent' too, as in agent that is empowered to act. Cats have nine lives and humans have one, must be good to have more senses.Quote:
