That was fun. I hope you enjoyed the homage to our five senses. God's way is marvelous indeed. But, wait a minute, I'm not done. We have one more sense that is surpassingly miraculous. It is our sixth sense, -a woman's intuition, -a gut feeling. Whatever you call it, it is the whisper of our soul.
"Cease trying to work everything out with your minds. It will get you nowhere. Live by intuition and inspiration and let your whole life be Revelation."- Eileen Caddy
Intuition is the greatest vessel of unwaivering faith. There is no logic whatsoever to the notion of a divine being, but those who follow their faith can attest to the actuality of a God who has a Plan for each of us, believer and non-believer alike. (It's a great plan, don't worry.) A friend recently remarked on the overwhelming emotion he feels when he hears the classic hymn "How Great Thou Art". I understood perfectly. Even though it would seem intangible, I understood because I have felt it. When you hear the swell of 'then sings my soul...', there is a distinct physical sensation of being lifted up to Joy. I know Joy is not a definitive destination that can be navigated by Mapquest, but it is the place in your heart where you experience God. When you hear something, see something, feel something, taste or smell something glorious, you are transported there. It's where He becomes a natural and absurdly obvious certainty. And that's the true gift of our five senses.
