Our Range of Heightened Sense of Perceptions
Ilchi Lee tells that about four months after I started, I got up in the morning and just like any other day I went into the bathroom and lit up a cigarette. But as soon as I took a drag, I felt nauseated. Thinking it strange, I took another drag and felt so sick that I had to put out the cigarette. My body automatically rejected the cigarette.
It is hard to explain how this change happened. It feels like I suddenly have a very sensitive sensor in my body and mind. This sensor helps me make better choices every moment of my life.
Although there are differences in degree, everyone at some point in their lives has a moment of awakening like Mark. An inherent sense that we have in our bodies turns on. Through these moments, we are able to have a deeper human experience and expand our understanding about the world. I call this internal sensor that Mark talked about a Heightened Sense ot Perception (HSP).
Perception is the process of knowing or being aware of inforrmation through the senses. Through perceptions awareness, discrimination and integration of impressions, conditions, and relationships about objects, images, and feelings are possible. When we have HSP, we have a heightened sensitivity, alertness, and ability to perceive at an expanded level aspects of life that would otherwise not be accessible. There are many ways that we can experience HSP.
