The sixth sense is another term for extrasensory perception. Extrasensory perception (ESP) would involve the reception of information not gained through the recognized senses and not internally originated. According to the National Science Foundation extrasensory perception is listed as pseudoscience.
The expression “sixth sense” is a misnomer that falsely suggests that there is only one additional sense besides the traditional five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, a classification attributed to Aristotle. Humans have at least five additional senses that include: nociception (pain); equilibrioception (balance); proprioception and kinaesthesia (joint motion and acceleration); sense of time; thermoception (temperature differences); and possibly an additional weak magnetoception (direction).
There is no firm agreement among neurologists as to the number of senses because of differing definitions of what constitutes a sense. The senses and their operation, classification, and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields, most notably Neuroscience cognitive psychology, and philosophy of perception. The nervous system has a specific sensory system, or organ, that manages each sense.

Our intuition can serve us well if we just pay it heed. It’d be interesting to read the “steps” in that book to understand how to use our “remote viewing,” or “psychic spy,” as it’s being termed. However, with that being said, I don’t know how much or how far I’d like to see or know things. We all have a certain comfort zone that we’re not willing to disrupt. On the other hand, using this ability as an aid for our country’s protection is constructive.
