Tom: Yes, you have. We have our five basic [[senses]]. They [[reflect]] upwards into five [[counterparts]] of [[mind]], and they reflect up into five counterparts of [[spirit]]. Fifteen senses? I'm not trying to put a number on it, because there are probably branches off each one. I'm not content that we have five senses. I'm [[intrigued]] with the idea of mind as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrasensory_perception sixth sense], but we're still dealing with just five senses?

Elyon: Before I continue I will remind you of my disclaimer of [[comparison]] of [[morontia]] to [[physical]], for the inaccuracies [[inherent]] in the comparison make for difficulty of [[understanding]]. We could approach this [[topic]] as you have just done with six senses: the five that feed in through your [[neural]] and glandular network to the [[mind]], the mind being, as you say, the mother sense, the sixth. Then [[mirror]] those into the [[morontia]] form and you would have twelve. You would have the same five that give input to the mother sense. It is fitting for me to say at this time that this mirroring, when considering the mother sense of mind and the mother sense of its morontia counterpart, is the [[mechanism]] whereby you may exchange the mind you have for the mind of [[Christ]]. So, whether we speak of fifteen or twelve the [[truth]] of this discussion is that there is a [[reflective]] [[quality]], a replicating [[pattern]] inherent in sensibilities.
