Expanding Your Senses

If you could gain super-human hearing, or even a new sense entirely, would you? Neuroscientist David Eagleman says with the help of technology, this could soon become a reality. On today’s episode, Eagleman talks about an invention he created that helps people who are deaf “hear” through vibrations on their skin. Plus, David explains how he hopes to use similar technology to give humans stronger senses, or even new ones.

    1. @B P Only six senses. Those you mentioned are vision and sensibilities. Extroverted examples. Intrinsically is the main source of sense’s

  1. We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events.
    In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system.
    It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will.
    Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high.
    Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry?
    Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.

  2. You use physical interface to input emulated perceptions.
    It is practical and useful, but its quite clumsy and often requires external electronic devices.
    The extra sensory interface already exist in some people, its an innate latent quality. You can activate the interface by combining ordinary sensory deprivation and extremely intense feelings/emotions. It is very painful to initialise, and takes some time to get hold of. Holding the interface willingly requires a constant effort. The long term effects are very high sensitivity. People that hold the extrasensory interface feel everything, their mind is constantly distracted by intruding flashes of extrasensory perceptions, even without being in the mode.
    The initialisation of the extra sensory interface can be harmful to ordinary people.

  3. Would love to hear someone discuss vertigo on your podcast and how to deal with it, especially if it last at least 3 days,as is my case please.

    1. I am feeling for you! It truly sucks when your brain is telling you that everything is spinning around even when your eyes are closed. I’m dealing with BPPV and the Epley maneuver usually helps me to get over the worst part and then just avoiding tilting my head. A sudden change in air pressure or any situation that messes with pressure inside the ear seems to be bringing it on more easily.
      In any case, you need to make sure you see a doctor to establish the cause of your vertigo first!

  4. We cannot have a new “sense” because of biology. Each sense corresponds to an organ – Vision / eyes, smell / nose, hearing / ears, tasting /tongue, touching /skin. Everything is a variation off of these.

  5. The spirit of God is creation, when there’s no creation being revealed in spiritual Doctrine, and if it has been taught to you by another to believe, it has nothing to do with God, but don’t take my word for it, simply check yourself according to his words listed from Hebrews 8; among other places saying.
    7″For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
    8Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah–
    9not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
    10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
    11None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
    12For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
    13In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”
    And the reason for the blindness, is clarified in 2nd Corinthians 3; among other places saying.
    7″But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
    8how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
    9For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
    10For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.
    11For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
    12Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech–
    13unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
    14But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
    15But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
    16Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
    17Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
    18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
    Remember, all of the words are already in the dictionary, but if you can’t see how to organize them in the proper perspective, to say exactly what you mean, from on inside of the Gospel truth in Christ’s Doctrine, you will not be able to see it, because it’s found in this same area where you are now reading these words, from the reading and writing Doctrine, and see the color blue, and the two plus two equal four, that’s this spirit of Christ’s doctrine, that holds those things what must be found and adopted from on inside of yourself, same as the alphabet vowels, and nouns, the numbers, addition, subtraction, and multiplication, all are found and adopted in Christ’s Doctrine, or you will not be able to see the ones not adopted, because it’s in this Spirit where we see all things in common, and be using them on the accord, from God’s words of our own hearts and minds, which has been put in our own minds, upon the altar of the Gospel truth, and they also were written in our own hearts, inside with our own souls, and from there we share in the spirit of Christ Doctrine, just like in the numbers doctrine, we haven’t practice counting above 400, but each of us knows exactly what 1 billion 800,07 is, being on the same accord, and we see all things as one in this same Spirit of Christ Doctrine. But you have to do the things from his Doctrine, not learn them, worship, or pray for them. According to St John 7;
    “11Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?”
    12And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.”
    13However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
    14Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
    15And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
    16Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
    17If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
    18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.”
    These are not my words, I’m only organizing them here for those with the ears to hear them, from me being on the inside of Christ’s doctrine, in the window of his Doctrine on inside of your own heart and mind, if you don’t, or can’t receive the words in this doctrine, don’t give me your excuses describing what you got, or believe, cuz it ain’t nothing to me, because I know that you can’t have nothing of your own, and be outside of it too, in order to be over here in the character of another, and the math don’t lie. We all are to share in these things what we actually see with others from this character doctrine, of the gospel truth, in order to be set free, from the sin of being out in this world, according to St John 1:29. Not any of that from the Make Believe land of Oz. And whenever you don’t know exactly what’s going on your own self with voting politically, how can it possibly make sense to you, to vote for the party who do not want the people to have the right to vote who may vote against them? How can that make sense when you get the best, from when everyone has the opportunity to choose who’s the best, because the spirit of God is found on inside the hearts and minds of the living people, and not ever in a the cultural religious traditions, which must all pass away. But you must find and establish your root in the Kingdom while you are still living, in order to find it in your own heart and mind after your lifetime on Earth has passed away. Everything old must be allowed to pass away first, before you can experience even one thing that’s new. The 144,000 are the different character doctrines, found in the gospel truth of Christ’s doctrine, on inside of each of our own heart, and mind, in there where we all see the numbers, this language, the reading and writing, the colors, where are we identify the singers, the football game, mcdonald’s, and we being separate see all of these things in common and we can move throughout them being on the same Accord in the Nexus of Christ’s spirit, The Gospel truth, where we each see the 2 + 2 = 4 in truth, from on inside of our own hearts and minds. In the kingdom of God.
    PEACE!✌️

  6. This is mind boggling. It’s amazing how far in technology we are getting to mapping & decoding the brain. The expansion of senses for so many people with hearing loss & blindness is amazing!

  7. It is uncomfortable to think that one day life will end. In life there are a lot of things uncertain, but death is the fate of us all.

    Everything of this world will let you down. Every man, every woman, every false hope (politics), every false religion, and every philosophy will let you down. At the end of life there’s no hope in any of it, but there is hope in Jesus Christ.

    You are loved. You are important. You matter. No matter what you are facing know that Jesus Christ is there. He loves you and He is the answer. To emptiness. To uncertainty. To struggles. To hopelessness. To fear. Most importantly He is the answer to eternal life.

    The Bible says that because of sin we all have fallen short of the glory of God, but Jesus gave His life for you and for me on the cross. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, this is what it’s all about.

    The righteous judgement of a Holy God against sin is eternal death. But God loved us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to save us. The Son of God, Jesus Christ died in our place. He died for our sins according to the scriptures, He was buried, and he rose again on the third day. Through Jesus death, burial, and resurrection you are saved.

    No matter what your past may look like, through the blood of Jesus you can be made new and be sure that you have eternal life! Your sins are paid for completely if you turn to Him with your whole heart in repentance and faith. The Bible says to repent and believe the Gospel. Simply say,

    “Forgive me Lord for my sins through Jesus who died in my place. I believe in Jesus that He died for me, save me now through Jesus Christ who died on that cruel cross in my place. You’ve raised Him from the dead and now raise me from death. Save me through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.”

  8. Don’t get me wrong , I actually can’t stomach Joe Rogan , but he did expose Gupta for the B.S. artist that he is. And here you all are , mesmerized by his gibberish. Just send him your passwords and he’ll take you on his journey
