Senses Poem
To limit yourself to not using all of your senses at any given time should be frowned upon, as you are not grasping life for all it’s worth
How about the psychic or spiritual senses in general? Have they been denied and disregarded as an important part of human experience?
In Christianity, for example the sense of smell has long been highly valued and sacred
In the breath of God, fragrances of the Holy Spirit were considered irresistible and sweet
This holy scent was considered to be indication of triumph of spiritual virtue over physical corruption
A saint could sense the presence of god through the sweet natural odour mysteriously produced and sense the presence of god through sweet natural odour mysteriously produced and that each saint produced a smell that lasted even after they died
These odors were able to heal people, inspire them and fill them with magical hallucinations with either angels or demons
My grandparents who are Christian would always tell me that cleanliness is next to godliness
Many of these senses had been emotional and were feelings in our body
Seselelame which when an individual gets a feeling in their body
In the West the history of the senses has been one of simplifications and sanitization
Our society tends to associate the normative with the natural
To ignore your sense of smell is to ignore a part of the world around you
