Why do we have 5 sences...
I'm a new poster so be gentle...
I've always wonder that if we are being manipulated by the 5 sences and that there is a reality beyond, that the hidden hand (lizards) is controlling from, then how can we practically break free. Won't we alway be dominated by our 5 sences and always be subject to manipluation even if we are "awake". It's in our design isn't it?
How can we filter input that we are not aware off. For example how conscious are you of body language at all times. That a communication that influences us eventough we might have a understanding of it.
Also if you watch TV a lot you maybe aware that it's trying to sell and influence you, but how many of you still buy products in a supermarket and you don't even think about it...
I suppose my point is that are senses are constantly subject to stimuli that bypasses out filters and still influences us. How can we combat that...
