We spent the last several installments looking at our five physical senses. Today we're going to switch gears, but stay in the same lane.
We often hear of someone talking about a "sixth sense" when referring to SA. It's often described as a feeling that something just isn't right. Sometimes someone will mention her skin crawling. Sometimes someone just "feels" like he's being watched. Sometimes an interaction between two or more people sends up red flags that they simply can't put their finger on, but they know something is off.
In all honesty, it's far less metaphysical than it might seem. It's all about the subconscious parts of our brains picking up on indicators that our conscious minds do not. It's almost like understanding a language that we never realized we knew, but more on that later...
It is important to understand that those subconscious indicators can be important to our survival. The key is learning to differentiate between what is actually an instinctual understanding and what is based on societal perception. Bottom line? If something seems off, pay attention and look a little harder.
