The True Key to Understanding
So, the key to understanding is through the mind and intellect, and its gates are the human senses, like sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. For example, with the visual sense, colors can be distinguished. Precision organs in the brain are used to distinguish any color with the use of photo-electric cells that can, for example, categorize the smoke of cigarettes with different hues of white into thousands of categories from pure white to milky white. With the auditory sense, musical sounds can be distinguished, and as the ear becomes seasoned, it becomes more precise, to the point that one can distinguish people merely by the sound of their footsteps. With the sense of taste, one can become so skilled in categorizing cheese into sub-categories that ordinary people are incapable of doing one-tenth of it. With the olfactory sense, one can arrange tens of categories from a single scent. With the somatosensory sense, one can sense the roughness and softness of objects or perceive the temperature of something and gain knowledge to distinguish similar degrees of cloth and papers by practice. With the sense of intuition, one can, with specific and proper training, see and comprehend the unseen and the hidden which many untrained individuals are incapable ( we will discuss this topic, and its proper training in the future Spiritual Book). Other forms of information can also be acquired by other senses, (be it hidden senses or apparent senses) that are currently out of the scope of our discussion.
However, we should note that the senses are not operating independently. Instead, they transfer these findings and perceptions of the brain through the nervous system. The brain then perceives this data and delivers them to the mind and intellect and stores them in the memory for further use.
The characteristics mentioned here exist in all human beings. However, its magnitude is not similar in all people. Instead, it is stronger in some and weaker in others. This differentiation is so much so that from the three billion human beings on Earth, there are no two individuals with an identical amount of set sensory skills.
