5 OUTER SENSES & 3 INNER

We shape the world and the world shapes us.

The five outer senses recognized by Western culture—
sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—are greatly
strengthened and complemented by three equally
innate and essential inner senses: the senses of harmony,
rhythm, and sympathetic resonance (or empathy).

These inner senses of harmony, rhythm, and sympathetic
resonance are essential because, in the view being
sketched here, it is not be possible to characterize the
uniqueness of the human species without them. Name
one other species that can hear when an octave is perfectly
in tune; Name one species that naturally dances to any
music heard; Name one other species that naturally senses
the pain and grief of another as if it were their own.
Tragically, all eight senses, both inner and outer, are
now being corrupted by the current corporate amplification
of the metaphysics of radical materialism.
