Awakening the Sixth Sense—The Paradox of Perception and Intuition

To awaken the sixth sense, you must first quiet the five.

Elaboration: Your five senses are powerful, but they are also loud, filling your awareness with constant input. The Mad Mage discovered that to awaken the sixth sense, the first step is to quiet the five—allowing your sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell to rest. In that quiet, the sixth sense stirs, for it exists not in the external world, but in the subtle layers of the soul. When the external senses are quiet, the inner sense awakens

.Reflection:

Spend time in sensory deprivation—whether through meditation, sitting in a dark room, or simply reducing external stimulation. What do you perceive when the outer senses are no longer dominating your awareness? How does the quieting of the five senses allow the sixth to emerge?
