What is sixth sense? and how it works?

Answer 1

You have five senses: vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. They are like channels that help you relate and interact with the physical things of the world, you receive all the information from the things around you through the senses. The "sixth sense" is supposed to be another channel with which you receive information that the other five senses cannot detect. It is something inside of you, only you can't see it (like your eyes, or ears), and most would say you can't control it. What information do you receive through the sixth sense? About situations happening in the future, or happening in the present but you don't know yet. How do you receive this information? By means of thoughts or images in your head, dreams, hunches, instincts.
How to know that these things are true? You don't know until the situation happens.

As a rule of thumb think that if something is for the good or safety of yourself or others, you should pay attention to those things.

Beware that some people have done crazy things, and have hurt others or themselves, supposedly following those "instincts". But, maybe they weren't thinking about safety or goodness in the first place.

Here is a good scientific article about, if you don't believe in this things. (I do, it has happened to me). http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20000701-000034.html

Answer 2

Strictly speaking the person who said that the sixth sense is ESP (Extra-Sensory Perception) is correct. As far as a particular "sense" this is what people mean when they refer to the sixth sense.

In common parlance, the sixth sense can be used to refer to intuition which some people associate with ESP.

While spirituality, a feeling of oneness with god or the universe, is, in a sense, a sense, it is properly termed a sense of the numinous and is not usually thought of as the sixth sense.

As to how it works. ESP doesn't work. There have been no controlled, repeatable experiments which have demonstrated ESP. Intuition, on the other hand, is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation for quick responses while in "fight or flight" mode or an evolutionary relic of instinct. I would say that most scientist would tend to the former answer. It represents not a programmed reaction, like instinct, but a non-logical conclusion (which is not to say an illogical conclusion) based usually on incomplete data and accomplished usually at the sub-conscious level. Some would link it to our capability for pattern recognition in vision.

Answer 3

What is sixth sense?

Everyone is aware of their five basic senses, seeing, feeling, smelling, hearing and tasting. What everyone is not so well aware of is their sixth sense, that sense of otherworldliness, a connection to something more and greater than their physical senses are able to perceive.
This is the entrance to the world of the unseen encounter, the unheard communication, the unfelt touch of someone from the spiritual world trying to make a connection with someone in the physical body.

As for how to develop it?

And I am guessing meditation.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

The "sixth sense" some people believe in, allows individuals to predict the future or have other "supernatural" abilities. These abilities are often explained by science as a "gut feeling"--something that comes from personal experience and belief and an awareness of whats going on around you. It all depends who you ask.

Answer 5

Six sense means in some way a Person has a sense about things or situations sometimes.

For example someone you dont know try to sell you something, and the way the person act or behave you have the sense He might gonna still your money, so your sense its telling you dont do it or you gonna get screw.

Good Luck.

Answer 6

The term "6th Sense" refers to our five senses (seeing, hearing, tasting, touch, smell)--the 6th sense is supposed to be en extra sensitivity to things unseen. It's commonly called Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) and encompasses things like sensing when something is wrong or dangerous and being able to perceive people's thoughts and feelings. It is theorized that intuition is an undeveloped form of ESP.

Answer 7

it is what some people call ESP...extra sensory perception...the idea that some people can "feel" thing others can't...there is no one way that it "works"...some people have vivid dreams some get visions, others get a physical feeling...it provides people with an ability to "see" and "communicate" with the otherworldly spirits and "energies" that contact them...some can predict events, others can relate events that they have not seen nor heard about...

Answer 8

intuition - the ability to understand or know something immediately, without conscious reasoning.
