The body is connected by sensory perception to a field of energy that enfolds the information we attribute to intuition. – Institute of Heart Math
Did you know that all five senses we have originated from the sense of touch?
It’s through the sensory organs bringing information to the brain that we have become the “conscious” beings we are today.
Think of how your skin reacts when you’re afraid; you get goosebumps and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up sometimes even before you’re consciously aware that you have something to be afraid of.
When you become aware of this reaction your conscious mind also becomes aware of the the looming threat to your survival. This is a perfect example of how your body receives and translates information from your environment.
Had the sense of touch not evolved further into the other senses we have, we might still be simple invertebrates floating aimlessly around in the ocean.
Scientists conclude that our current sensory cells are descendents of “primitive ciliated cells.” We recognize them today as the bumps on our tongues and the cells of our skin, ears and nose that often have fine hairs growing from them. Even the cone shape of the retinas in our eyes developed from these ‘bumpy’ cells.
Evolving to the finer senses of sight and hearing required that creatures develop much more complex information processing systems in order to translate the information received by the eyes and ears.
The ocular nerve had to be able to register the vibrations of light waves.
The ear drum had to pick up the vibrations of sound waves.
Without the ability of our body to be able to sense and interpret vibration we would be incapable of seeing and hearing.
Processing vibrations such as light and sound waves and translating them into useful information was a huge leap in our evolution from life’s original sense of touch.
We are still evolving
While most people identify with the five senses only, there have always been people who were able to detect much more from their environment than what these five senses might account for.
These people were referred to as “sensitives” or “intuitives” or ’empaths’ and even “psychics.”
In last century the numbers of “sensitive” people have been growing.
There has been an explosion in the numbers of people who now declare themselves to be among the “sensitive” population in the last three to four decades though. The increase in those among us who call themselves sensitive may correlate to the birth of the Information Age.
Could it be that we are evolving more rapidly to be better able to adapt to an environment that creates new information at hundreds of times the rate than it was being created when humans first evolved? After all evolution is exactly that – an adaptation to our environment in order to ensure that our species survives.
The fact that more people accept that they receive information about their environment and the people around them through internalizing and translating vibratory data shows that our sensory organs are evolving.
Where are we evolving to next?
We are on the verge of a new age that some are calling “The Intuition Age.” During this new age huge numbers of the population will become aware of their evolved sensing capabilities. Some people are already able to receive information via vibrations emitted by other human beings.
The clairvoyant sense is the ability to ‘see’ things things at a distance that the physical eyes cannot perceive. This is also called ‘remote viewing.’ When I connect with clients by phone I often ‘see’ what they look like and their environment.
Clairaudience is the ability to ‘hear’ things that our physical ears cannot detect. I often hear snippets of sentences and first names when acting as the go between for a client and a loved one who’s passed on.
Clairsentience is the ability to pick up the emotions and physical feelings of others. It is literally being able to sense what another person is sensing.
Claircognizance is the ability to ‘know’ something through means other than receiving information from the five senses.
All of this information is received and understood by sensitive individuals by means of translating the information contained in the energy of the vibrations they come in contact with.
It’s no different from the way the telephone works. When you speak into the receiver your voice is translated into electrical signal that travels to the person you’re speaking with. The electrical pulses come out at the other end and are changed back into sound waves that our ears perceive and convert through the brain into words and sentences we understand. Your voice is not audible on the ‘wire’ it travels on to reach the party you’re speaking to.
This same principle applies to all vibrations that the body interprets as information. You don’t actually ‘see’ light waves yet we know that the eyes receive them and convert them into the physical pictures we call our reality. We don’t see sound waves either, yet they certainly do exist.
Human beings have their own ‘electrical system’ which creates an energy that emits vibratory waves, some call the ‘aura.’ We know for a fact that this ‘electrical system’ exists because when it stops the person’s physical body also ‘stops’ or expires. Those of us who are sensitive can pick up these vibratory transmissions and our body can translate them into information similar to how the other five senses pick up information from our environment.
In the next quarter century expanded sensing of vibratory energy will take place
Science is discovering more each day about how we receive ‘extra-sensory’ information from our environment. I’m convinced that not far off in the future we will one day accept what we now call ‘super-natural abilities’ as perfectly natural responses and adaptations to our ever changing environment.
Wireless transmission of information is the new normal. If you could go back in time 150 years and use a cell phone the people seeing it might call it miraculous or even the work of the devil. We don’t think it’s out of the realm of the ordinary that we have devices that can pick up and translate invisible waves of energy out of thin air into sound, do we?
Perhaps science will learn that our enhanced sensibilities are mirrors of the scientific discoveries we have made in the last century? Maybe all these ‘waves’ that we live among are slowly affecting our physiology and that’s why we have so many people who are sensitive to energy?
Obviously, I don’t have the conclusive answer on any of this but, still, the fact remains that now more than ever huge numbers of people say they are sensitive to receiving vibratory information via their intuition. This must be happening for a reason, perhaps because the human body is evolving to adapt to its changing environment? We shall see. In any case, I’m looking forward to the next 50 years and to seeing what marvelous things we will be capable of.
Are you aware of energy? How does it affect you? Do you feel more ‘tuned-in’ to what other people are feeling? Do you see signs that we are evolving to become more able to receive information intuitively?

very interesting article. I’ve always been interested in this area of human development. Recently I’ve been reading Rupert Sheldrake’s articles on the subject of morphic fields and morphic resonance, this goes well with this article. thanks for posting
Hi Angela,
I love this. We definitely have more than 5 senses. Often I will think about my mom, the phone will ring, and it will be her. Or I will go out for a run, think about a particular person, turn the corner and they will be there. It has gotten to the point that I am no longer surprised by it. It is just a knowing. When the world quiets down, more people will “know.”
Great post, Angela!! You’ve done a wonderful job of taking the woo woo out of the woo woo and bringing it into the “natural” world. Vibration is often considered an “out there” idea, but this post grounds the idea of vibration into what it really is, the method by which we sense EVERYTHING. I think you’ve build a wonderful bridge here for anyone who has wondered why things like clairvoyance are possible.
Angela, I really feel we are on the verge of “The Intuition Age” – as you say. It feels there are more and more people understanding this/ seeking this/ discovering it. I’m seeing it more and more and I love it.
Clairsentience – “ability to pick up the emotions and physical feelings of others. It is literally being able to sense what another person is sensing.” I hadn’t known this had a name. I often have this very strongly and thought I was just empathetic. Hmmm…
What a very interesting article!
I actually did not know this. I’ve always pondered how our conscious grew from virtually ‘nothing’. I also sometiems wonder that slugs must have some kind of primitive thinking going on.
These cells… what prompted their growth and evolution? I mean, looking at it from a metaphysical point of view, I can understand it in the larger scheme of things. However from a physical point of view, these things are truly fascinating.
I actually read an article once about the Human 2.0, when homo sapiens sapiens would evolve yet again. It was theorized that our brain would be bigger, along with distinctive changes in our physical body. Our limbs would be longer and more elongated and we would stand taller overall. Some would suggest that we would also be less physically capable, but we’re not quite there yet, are we? Theories are theories.
We know of our five physical senses, the elusive ‘sixth sense’, and the seventh being memory. Yes, memory. I could definitely see the sixth sense being developed in the future. Perhaps 50 years from now as you say!
Now to read up on bumpy cells..
Have a nice day!
Hi Sol,
I’m glad you found this article interesting. I don’t know that slugs think in the way we think of “thinking.” They don’t have “self-consciousness” or what we might call self-awareness. I think they have a ‘primitive” brain though, that prompts them to survive by eating (my vegetable garden!).
Very interesting theory about Humans 2.0. I’ve read that too. We are getting taller as a species overall so that may true. So far though I haven’t seen anyone with arms long enough to drag on the ground – lol! We’ll see I guess. It’s all quite fascinating though.
Memory as a sense. That’s interesting. I can see how it makes perfect sense though. It plays a huge part in everything we do and learn not to mention the ability to bond with other humans in a deeply meaningful way. How could you love someone so deeply if you didn’t have memories of them? Animals have an instinct to nurture and mother their young but it’s not love on the level we think of love.
Let’s make a date to check back in on this whole theory in July 16, 2061~!
Oh, the slugs were just me being scattered and random. I have slugphobia, you see! I agree with you, however.
Arms dragging on the ground, hmm? That’d be almost reversing it all – at least in a physical sense.
I definitely think that animals have the capability to love, have souls, etc. but that’s a discussion for another time. There are many deep and complex questions humans haven’t found the answer to yet.
I’ll definitely check back in 2061. If I am alive then, that is! Haha!
Have a nice day now!
Hi Angela,
I have both of these abilities. I so often wish I did’t ‘know’ so much. I think life would be much easier! Especially when I’m close to the person I ‘know’ something about.
Clairsentience is the ability to pick up the emotions and physical feelings of others. It is literally being able to sense what another person is sensing.
Claircognizance is the ability to ‘know’ something through means other than receiving information from the five senses.
Hi Tess,
I understand completely. It’s hard especially, when you want to help to someone close to you. I find the people closest to me resist the information I have to share, don’t you?
Fantastic article! It is a very valuable common sense explanation. I think goes along way for building acceptance of our skills, by those that may be afraid of things they do not yet understand.
Love your writing.
Kara
Hi Kara,
I’m glad you enjoyed this article. You know me – “common sense” is my middle name. LOL.
Thank you for stopping by!
Hi Angela,
This was so informative. There are those who are becoming more sensitive and intuitive, but I think at the same time there are just as many who don’t believe in this. As more and more of us start to look inward, maybe there will be a shift in our vibration, our senses will evolve and we will be a more empathetic species. Love your train of thought! Keep it up.
Hi Jenny,
It’s so nice to see you. I agree there are many who don’t believe in this. They will have to deal with it though eventually when our society has embraced this to a great extent.
I do hope we will become a more empathic species.
Thanks so much for your lovely words.
Hey Angela! I feel I have always been sensitive…but all of this has just started being in my awareness within the last couple years. The understanding of it all somewhat freaked me out at first…but the Divine has helped me to get adjusted.
Hi Kenya,
I’m sure you always have been sensitive.
I’m glad you’re no longer freaking out!
I’m glad the Divine helped you get adjusted.
Intriguing, Angela. I love the idea of the intuition age. The mind is very uncomfortable with ideas that are unexplainable. The mind can become obsessive about explaining the unexplainable. Life can be delightfully simple if everything is explainable – but everything ain’t! I see an evolution in thinking where more and more folks accept their intuition and remarkable capacity to create their lives anew. We all work on our personal evolution by uniting ourselves with these natural laws.
Hi Rob,
Thanks so much for your support. I’m glad you found the article intriguing.
Great idea to unite ourselves with natural laws too!
While I agree that we are evolving, perversely I feel that the evolution of our mental capacities and brain functions is barely keeping up with the world that we are creating. How can that be I wonder? I dont know the answer, it is just my perception of the world around me. And as for how many senses we have, the universe does seem to like seven, so I suspect we may have seven already. Who knows?
Hi Rosemary,
I don’t think we’ll ever be able to keep up with all the information out there. I think we would be wise to develop our intuition so that we receive information and wisdom relevant for our lives – and not allow the glut of superfluous information out there make us crazy. There is a profound difference between information and knowledge – too much information is just noise!
You’re right – 7 comes up everywhere doesn’t it? That makes sense maybe we do have two more – the intuitive sense and the psychic sense?
Hi Angela,
Cool pic. I have been sensitive to energy as far back as I can remember. I get feelings in my chest when I am about to get news that I would rather not hear.
But this helps me prepare, it’s like a little pre-message being sent to me. This also works for good news as well.
Hi Justin,
Thanks – I thought it sort looked like an “evolved” human of sorts.
Feelings in your chest. What kind of feelings? Emotional feelings or physical sensations? Very interesting.
I get butterflies in my stomach when something is about to happen. It’s different for each of us.
I can see how this “signal” would help you to be alert that something was about to happen.
Yes, it can be for good news too! (nice change, right?)
For a very long time, I haven’t realized that I have intuitive abilities. Anything about intuition sounded so foreign to me. It was only like 5 years ago that I really started developing mine. Still, I would like to learn more. It’s great to come over to your blog to read your findings and experience 🙂
Yes, I’m seeing that more and more people are becoming conscious. We certainly have entered a new age.
I enjoyed your question, “Could it be that we are evolving more rapidly to be better able to adapt to an environment that creates new information at hundreds of times the rate than it was being created when humans first evolved?” It made me stop to think. It sure sounds probable!
Hi Evelyn,
It’s amazing how much the world opens up to us we realize that we are in tune with our intuition. I think it also has an effect on our creativity too. I think working in an environment such as banking or finance can stunt your intuitive growth! It’s so “salesy” and focuse on making sales quotas you start to lose your humanity – let alone your intuition!
I’m so glad you found the article interesting.
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. What if we are evolving to adapt to living in an “information” society where new information is created every second? Or, the other idea I had is what if the only way we can find “true” knowledge, that is pertinent and useful in our lives (like separating the wheat from the chaff), when we are bombarded by information all day long is through our intuition?
Yes my body is effected by energy and what i have learned recently is that I need to learn not to take on others peoples energy and really follow my gut/intuition. Put myself in a situation last week that was very disempowering
HI Suzie,
You make such a great point. Yes, to learn to separate your energy from another person’s is great tip.
You maintain your power that way for sure.
Angela, I just love how you always throw in some scientific knowledge with your articles. I always learn something from you!
I agree that more & more people are coming out as intuitive or at least acknowledging their “gut feeling” more often. I love that we are a part of such a rapidly changing time!
Hi Lindsay,
I’m so glad you enjoyed this article. Aww – you’re so sweet. I’m so glad you that you learned something new too.
I had no idea all of our senses evolved from the sense of touch either. I found that fascinating.
It is exciting to be alive at this time. Who know what wonders we’ll witness in the future!
Hi Angela,
If only there was an evolution in “commonsensory ” organs as well, we may look forward to a brighter future.
You’ve covered this in a great deal of detail. Thank you.
be good to yourself
David
Hi David,
Yes, it would be wonderful to evolve spiritually, psychically and “commonsensory.” LOL
