    The sixth sense is known as ESP (Eextrasensory perception). Well, I don't think that has to mean that you see ghosts or another dimension or anything far out like that. I like to think we all have this on some level such as instincts / intuition or that "gut" feeling. I think that is an important sense that everyone has even though many ignore it. This sense can potentially save you life.

    So, I have 6 like everyone else

    Do hearing voices in the head count as a sixth sense? Okay, then maybe I only have 5 or maybe I need an exorcism.

    Not sure.

    Truth be known I always thought that gut instinct was considered the sixth sense until the movie sixth sense came out. Then I was just confused.

    It depends on how you break them down. The sense of smell has a lot to do with the sense of taste, for example. The only thing we taste with our tongue are basic tastes such as bitterness, sweet, and salty, which I guess could be considered three different senses. Vision is a pretty basic one of course. Hearing is another, touch another. Other senses include common sense, horse sense, and a sense of humor. Not all people have these, unfortunately. :(

    we've seven senses interior the physique, only 5 are traditionally recognized. Eyes, ears, nostril, tongue and pores and pores and skin are exteroceptors ( outdoors experience organs ) and the two greater, observed as interoceptors ( indoors experience organs ) are vestibular experience organs in inner ear that tells us approximately the soundness of physique in section ( swimming, prestige swaying etc ) and the kinesthetic experience organs based interior the joints and ligaments in our physique that tells us approximately the functionality of our limbs in section, Mark that the right judgment is made on the orientation of the physique in section by employing way of the latter 2 senses regardless of if the usually regarded 5 senses are blocked. So, those are the seven senses already functioning in our physique! in spite of the shown fact that, by using actuality the question is asked in faith and Spirituality section, i might say, sixth experience is instinct and the seventh is the tuning into all that exist as usually ensue in deep and long meditation. yet, i'm prepared to hold close what's your seventh experience. Please have mercy and oblige with an respond!

    your 6th sense is the one thing that most other people cannot do, your special talent, a gift, something you were born with, just like your other 5 senses.
