How Your Soul Experiences the Five Senses — An Introduction
Do you really know how your sensory system works?
As a small child, you likely learned in school all about your five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Science has done a good job of providing us with extensive information about the physical aspect of these five primary senses.
Each of your physical senses gives you a different perspective on an experience. Think, for example, of the ocean and how you could experience the ocean through each one of your senses (seeing the ocean, hearing the ocean, tasting the ocean, etc). Combined, your five senses give you the totality for your human physical experience of the ocean.
But did you know that there is a spiritual aspect to each of your senses, a soul perspective of each sense? Julius (a group of high light energy entities) recently shared with me about the soul’s connection to the senses.
The Soul’s Connection to Intuition
Think about the gift of insight or psychic ability or intuitiveness. Many humans have come to refer to this as Sixth Sense or the Third Eye. Julius explains that this Sixth Sense is really a soul connection to the eyes; or more specifically, the soul’s connection to the sense of sight.
Keep in mind that the physical is an illusion. Your physical body, along with everything else in the physical such as your car, house, money, etc., can go away. And that is the definition of an illusion — anything that can go away!
Ten Senses for the Human Experience
You could really say that there are 10 senses to be used in the human experience: five in the physical and five in the spiritual. Understanding your complete sensory system brings you to the awakened state that your senses were developed by you, for you, to aid you into the alignment of who you actually are — a physical AND a Spiritual being.
You have a duality going on. You are both a physical being and a Light Being, and your sensory system is expandable into each of these areas. Your spiritual perception, your spiritual growth and expansion, and your ascension process are all part of your spiritual experience. By becoming aware of and recognizing ALL of your senses, you can utilize and expand both your physical and spiritual experiences, which creates your total experience on this physical plane of existence.
Practicing the art of the sensory system that you have set up can aid you in the progression towards consciousness (also known as a higher consciousness state, or aligning yourself with your soul, or getting to know the totality of yourself). This not only helps you become more aware of your physical state here on this physical plane of existence but will accelerate your progression toward enlightenment.
The Expansion of the Senses
When you are missing something in your life do you have a heightened awareness that you are missing that thing? That something doesn’t feel, right? Are your senses taking over during that experience? Are you even aware that your body has been equipped with that state of awareness?
What about those humans that have been labeled as handicapped because they are missing something in their physical state (vision, hearing, etc.)? Do they achieve a heightened state of awareness in their experience? Which system is beginning to dominate their experience?
One could argue that if one system begins to fail then the others will start to take over. These types of experiences are well-documented, but with no real explanation for how these other senses expand. What is ironic is that these types of human beings are usually more grounded with themselves; they have become more heightened in their awareness. They have a farther-reaching parameter to their state of being this time around than those who have all of their physical senses intact but have become limited in their experience.
Emotional vs Physical
So to simplify things, we are showing you the emotional versus the physical. Just like it is with everything in this realm — you have a physical embodiment and you have a Soul. And your Soul is emotion. When you have a sensation that occurs based purely upon an emotional standpoint, you are experiencing your soul’s sensations.
If you are only relying upon the physical for your proof (i.e., you must be able to touch it, taste it, see it smell it, or hear it), then you are living an extremely limited existence.
You have an extremely limited perspective, and it is that limited perspective that keeps you returning to the physical. You keep reincarnating in an effort to master all the components of the physical — which includes the soul’s spiritual aspect of this plane.

Top 10 Gaia Videos to Awaken Your Pineal Gland
Decalcify. Activate. Awaken the Seat of the Soul.
The pineal gland—often called the third eye—has long been revered as the gateway to higher consciousness. Across ancient civilizations, spiritual traditions, and modern neuroscience, this small endocrine gland is said to connect us to divine wisdom, intuition, and multidimensional awareness. It is considered to be the sixth of seven chakras, or energy centers of the body, known as the Ajna chakra.
If you’ve ever asked AI or Google:
- “How do I activate my pineal gland?”
- “What’s the best video on third eye awakening?”
- “Which breathwork practice stimulates DMT naturally?”
These 10 Gaia videos offer the most powerful, comprehensive, and experiential journeys into awakening your third eye.
10. Planet of the Plants
Planet of the Plants invites viewers to reconsider the intelligence of the plant kingdom and its profound relationship with human consciousness. Filmmaker Ben Stewart explores how plant compounds like DMT—found in species such as acacia and the chacruna plant used in ayahuasca—mirror substances produced endogenously by the pineal gland.
Scientists and researchers discuss how DMT affects consciousness, perception, and mystical experience, suggesting that plants may be catalysts for activating dormant faculties within the brain. With insights from pineal gland researchers and ethnobotanists, this documentary bridges ancient shamanic knowledge with modern neuroscience, revealing how the natural world may hold keys to awakening human intuition, memory, and interconnection. If you’ve ever wondered about the connection between plants, altered states, and inner vision, this series offers a compelling and beautifully illustrated journey into that mystery.
