The sixth sense is balance. It's just like any of the other senses, except
most people ignor it unless vertigo becomes a problem for them. People
develope their other senses if their professions require it. A discerning
ear is a plus to enjoy an appreciation of music, a discerning sense of taste
and smell helps us to enjoy food better, etc. Balance and coordination is
important for many sporting activities but what I claim is that it is
important for science as well. A scientist of the highest caliber should
have a discerning sixth sense. The truth of the matter is that mathmatics
is only good up to gyroscopic motion... and then there are mirrors... which
are very very complicated. Just to get you started, what is an about face
in military drill? Well, I would describe it as a front to back balance
correction of a left-right imbalance. Question: What is the up balance
correction to a left-right imbalance and what is the down balance correction
to a left-right imbalance? Answer this and that gets you up to mirrors...
You've got balance correction for gyroscopic motion but you have mirrors to
deal with next. You know, all of my friends are exotic dancers, they define
their own identity by their style of dance AND SO DO I.

Emotion is a sign of weakness. Psychosis is a sign of vulnerability. As a
society, we nurture weakness and exploit vulnerability and that's OK. It is
as nature intended.

The vestibular system, which is a contributor to our balance system
and our sense of spatial orientation, is the sensory system that
provides the dominant input about movement and equilibrioception. Not
only is there a math of function but also of how this group of cells
develop within an embryo. Maybe it is good to pay attention to balance
and celebrate the wonder, but there is no need to portray it as a
neglected science and ridicule everyone over it man.

Nature provides predictability in society, but of course the
individual is greater than the sum of its parts. It takes effort to
break away from the gravitational pull of the group. The motivation to
do so is fuelled by the growing discomfort of not doing so.

Your atoms are always dancing.

They seek harmony with others, which is why the real mirrors are
people.

Sounds complicated, but is actually astoundingly simple.

The Beat Goes On (and so does the dance)..

The pilot of an aircraft is represented by a circuit diagram in the controls
schematic of the vehicle being simulated for its flying charactoristics is a
hard science analogy of your biological understanding of balance. What is
in the back of my mind is whether I can cure a child, you know, where the
eyes of the child wander around aimlessly. The seventh sense is psychic.
Do you not think that I don't believe in the reality of being psychic?
You're damn right I do!! It's just that people like you want me to believe
that the sixth sense is psychic and it's not going to fly with me at all.

I am a proton... but I don't see any pi-ions... but what I can see is
electrons moving in a slow motion geometric pattern that I may be able to
seduce the relevant equations from.

Well the best evidence usually wins out in the end resulting in very
strong and predictable theories like, physics, biology and psychology.
Whatever group influence there is is transitory in the history of
science.

This seems like an attempt to diminish the great strides humans have
made in discovering what we are. As for your straw man argument about
psychic abilities, it seems your putting positions on people they
don't necessarily have. A sly move by a critic is to place a counter
argument in an opponent who probably doesn't even have an argument
either way on the subject. Then you throw in the emergency and the
impression of having the only way to cure something, pathetic man,
even cultish.

What's clear is that people with higher intelligence comprehend the sixth
sense as pertaining to balance and I share their perspective so how do I go
about making a mockery out of the ignorant who believe there to be only five
senses? There are seven senses from my perspective, and with some of you I
will allow you to agree to disagree with me, as for the others (shrug).
