The sixth sense operates much like the five natural senses, with the only difference being that the sixth sense is not given by nature, we have to develop it. In fact, the name “sixth sense” is a bit misleading, because we are not actually developing another sense; we are developing an intention.
While developing this intention, we study the Creator’s Forms, the Forms of bestowal, opposite from our natural egoistic makeup. This is why the sixth sense isnot given to us by Nature; it is opposite from us.
