Just My Imagination

A text only post, and about history, afield from fauna and flora, sort of...and grim, so dear readers, a caution to read on...

Maybe there are 360 senses...I don't know...I find myself waving my arms and saying 'I don't know!' over and over in my reading...this idea caught my attention as I had just posted that there may be more senses than the ones we commonly think about...sight hearing taste and such...but I was thinking about 'receptive' senses, the ways we observe...the fellow with the 360 senses notion has it that there are senses like the superpowers that comic book heroes have...

These were a highly advanced people, who, utilizing 360 natural senses, were capable of great feats of manifestation, alchemy, and trans-dimensional journeying

To give a scale, an idea, of what these ancients were capable of, compare:

quote

The Force can enhance natural, physical, and mental abilities, including strength (such as during a "Force jump" or to slow a fall from an otherwise dangerous height) and accuracy (as when Luke Skywalker was able to launch proton torpedoes into a two-meter-wide thermal exhaust port on the Death Star in A New Hope). A number of other Force powers are demonstrated in the film series including telekinesis, telepathy, levitation, deep hypnosis, enhanced empathy, reflexes, precognition, and enhanced speed. The Jedi were also able to influence and control the minds of others by making use of the Jedi mind trick.

I'm a bit wary of the mind trick my own self, and wonder at times if I'm being 'jedied'!...oh!...here's a bit that backs up my sense of senses!

Found that searching for why specifically the idea of 360 'super senses!

Well, here is some of the reason as I suspected it to be...the Zodiac at Dendera, the circular one, haven't read much yet on the square ones, square in that they cover a rectangular ceiling...the round Zodiac is unique it seems, the other Egyptian Zodiacs being rectangular...the round Zodiac at Dendera is divided up into 36 decans that total 360...and this web page has it that the 360 super senses are acquired one by one as the adept moves through the houses of the Zodiac...

Oon (from which our word “noon” was derived) is “The Wise One“. The Sun is at the zenith or at its strongest. By this time we have advanced greatly, and are beginning to regain the use of up to 360 senses. The wise ones are living in a higher dimension of reality and are enjoying an inner peace and resonance with their natural environment.

Site has a colorful re creation of an Egyptian Zodiac, and, oh, I see it is related to grahamhancock, a kind of New Age guru...

I'm not an astrologer, I'm an Aries....but how imaginative of the Egyptians to portray their gods as representing stars and planets, earth, moon,and sun...all those illustrations in the Temple of Dendera are a cosmology of some sort...what were they seeing, and doing, with their 'mind's eye'?...with their imaginations?

Imagination is in fact our one 'super sense'...

quote

Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the ability to form new images and sensations in the mind that are not perceived through senses such as sight, hearing, or other senses.

There's a dedication in David Bergamini's Japan's Imperial Conspiracy where the author says the war, WW2 between America and Japan, was a clash of cultures...somewhere else I have it that an American general thought the Japanese were fighting with a medieval code of conduct, like the old days of Knighthood in Europe...and it might be said, that the war too was a clash of imaginations...every nation has its own imaginative sense of self, even as individuals do...it's our imaginations that describe ourselves to ourselves, so to speak, as individuals, and as nations...I'm reaching here for the current wars in the Middle East...they too are a clash of imaginations...super powered ones as it were!

quote

More strange than true. I never may believe
These antique fables nor these fairy toys.
Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
Are of imagination all compact.
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold—
That is the madman. The lover, all as frantic,
Sees Helen’s beauty in a brow of Egypt.
The poet’s eye, in fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to Earth, from Earth to heaven.
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
Such tricks hath strong imagination,
That if it would but apprehend some joy,
It comprehends some bringer of that joy.
Or in the night, imagining some fear,
How easy is a bush supposed a bear!

Theseus
A Mid Summer Night's Dream
William Shakespeare
