What exists outside of human perception?

What are the limits of what we are capable of understanding? Our bodies are very good at interpreting certain types of information. Our eyes understand light information, our ears understand sound information, our stomachs understand food information, etc. What type of information exists that our bodies are incapable of processing? Is the brain limited to processing information that other parts of us give to it, or does it process external information independent of other parts as well as being the control center for the rest of the body?

    There are levels of what we call ESP that we are only beginning to understand. Basically, contemporary research indicates that telepathic capability is within human possibility. This is one of the most exciting scientific breakthroughs of this century and very few people realize it.

    Even with the gadgets we invented, we know that our own direct sense of perception (through sense organs ) is very limited. We know that ultra /sub sonic sounds exist.. so also light. Likewise there are other dimensions than just time & space.

    All the things that can ever be known are within the capability of those human beings who open up to the possibility of enhancing their perception levels beyond the sense organs !

    Spirituality is just about that !

    Interesting question. In order, Yes; that which God has decreed is outside our ken; I don't think it is limited by our body parts, because there is an element of our existence which cannot be explained by taking us apart scientifically and putting us back together. We still do not understand life--what is in the body that makes us alive and what is missing when we are dead. That something cannot be explained by science because that part belongs to the Creator. We can know some things about God,

    but we can't see Him. We know life and death when we see them but we don't know how we know that until the body begins to decay. And then one has to explain intuition and how do we do that?

    Depends which HUman you're talking about. There are adepts among us with a 360 degree perception of all that is, and there are many, many who sleep away, unaware of most that is. There are NO limits of what we are capable of understanding, but it takes years and years, and lifetimes, and lifetimes of training to get to the 360 degree viewpoint. And if you don't understand, don't worry about it, you have eternity to figure it out. Bottom line, you are Soul, and God loves you. I know of a shortcut, for those that are ready, please feel free to E-mail me.

    Matter is outside of human perception. We perceive the attributes of matter, but not the underlying substratum. However, even our perception is flawed and unreliable. The mind plays tricks and reason is applied to determine what is real.

    well...... technically if something truly exists OUTSIDE of human perception, then human beings wouldn't even be able to think of it or contemplate its existences... so... the answer is... nobody knows....

    trippy question!
