The Senses

[Gonzo the Face]

I just received , from TAT, a promotion type of program encouraging out worlders to come to Thailand.

One of the places being promoted mentioned something like 6 Senses.

Now the senses I know would be sense of 1] Sight. 2] Smell, 3] Hearing, 4] Taste, 5] Touch, and I am wondering what would be the 6th Sense.

Could/Would it be Stupidity, Shock, Envy, or what ??????

because the price they listed was about 85,000 baht and the other locations listed figures that were nightly figures.

Anyone have any ideas what could/would be included for 85,000 baht per night?

Well, if they do a ceremony to open your third eye, so that you have pre-cognition ie tap into your spirit, (which knows your future, death date, next incarnation etc) and be able tap into the akashic records, ie the knowledge of the Universe, then yes its worth it. Otherwise it is a scam. Ask any Reiki level 2 or Master to demonstrate absent psychic healing to realise there is much more to explore for foreigners who come to the mysterious East. They, unfortunately believe crude western science and its notion of reality is all there is. (ThomasT. Reiki Master)

hoo boy !!! cue the new new age music and tap my records

[Tywais]

Perhaps they see dead people. > Sixth Sense

[jellymeister]

my vote goes for NON-sense

[thomast]

Tywais. Nah, they dont, but can communicate with spirit in body and spirit out of body. Spirit in body comm. is the final work in the initiation of a level 2 psychic/spirit healer, authenticated by the person who would have only supplied a photo and a name. Dont knock about what you know so little.

This could turn out to be one of the shortest-lived threads this month...

Just in case anybody was tempted to believe that Reiki was not complete BS, here is a telling quote from the Wikipedia article on it:

Takata stressed the importance of charging money for Reiki treatments and teachings.

[/qoute]

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

So, do you need my Fax, Mobile Number or would my e-mail address and a Pay-Pal Account be sufficient?

Can I make the payment after recorded success of the treatment or is it advanced payments only?

[Gonzo the Face]

Perhaps they see dead people. > Sixth Sense

I can agree with that....

Probably in the check out lobby, once they see their checkout bill...

Probably laying around all over the place.

Maybe they make the real money by giving your bill along with an organ donor donation form.

That will really wrekki the rest of your day

Thaivisa seems to be infested with new age fruit-cakes these days.

[banyahorn]

the mind is the other organ of sense

eyes / ears / nose / skin / tongue / mind

but budda stresses no-mind [totally open to sense whats around = zen]

so anyone offering to increase yours, is out of theirs

better you spend the 85k on a bullsh1t detector

its a bit like - you put enough in the plate and you get a window seat on the bus to heaven

What? - the jet? - thats for the evangelists and their mistresses only - fully booked, sorry

use your other 5 senses first

1] Sight - looks like a trap

2] Smell - on the nose, this one

3] Hearing - yeah right. heard that one before

4] Taste - getting that dry taste in my mouth

5] Touch - i aint the easy touch i used to

keep that in mind

Yes, but they are very entertaining. Perhaps he could remote-prune the hibiscuses for you, or at last ask them to grow nicely

Oh, and to answer the OP's question I thought a sense of time (ie the passing of it) was considered to be the sixth?

Synesthesia

Is there a sixth sense?

I like that a lot

How about Sense of HUMOUR.

Sounds like a joke to me.

possible you might be confusing this with the fourth dimension?

Gonzo

85,000 baht? Ouch!

In this case your sixth sense should be your Common Sense, although some people don't seem to have any. When reading promotions like that, the Common Sense should kick in by leading a person to instantly deposit such materials in the disposal bin, and enable the individual to save or use their money for much better things.

$$$$$$$$$$$

Excellent ...

Not really. I remember reading something years ago that theorised that if a person was in a pitch black sensory deprivation chamber with none of the normal five senses able to detect anything they would still sense the passing of time.

Alternatively would somebody born with no sense of touch, smell, sight, hearing or taste still 'sense' the passing of time?

Bleh, who cares? Let's go back to taunting the new-agers

[Samuian]

in our times 4 more senses found general recognition:

# Propriozeption (has been mentioned already)

# Thermoception

# Noziception

# Sense of Equilibrium

Precognition, clairvoyance etc. are recognized as phenomena of the "6th Sense".

The Anterior Cingulate Cortex is responsible for the bodys "prewarning system"...

Some Birds are known to have the ability to sense magnetic fields, rattlers a very intense sense of heat, spieders an incredible sensitiv sense for the slightest motion....

[jellymeister]

How about “common sense”, but then again as Mark Twain opined, it ain’t that common, this certainly applies to the new age gurus….

[Dustoff]

I sense that some moderator with common sense will sense that since this something-less-than-sensible thread has, in a sense, nothing whatsoever to do with Thailand will make it past tense...

Am I making sense...?

[Gonzo the Face]

Well its got to be for real and its got to be Thai and it is from the TAT/

how do I know , you ask,

cuz

I got 3 of the same email postings in about 2 hours.
