Just Five Senses:
Regarding the number of senses I have heard it put another way. The Five Cognitive Senses. Now it may be debatable as to whether the standard five references are more related to cognitive activities then are other senses like proprioception, equilibrioception. etc are. But at the same time it may explain why some deep thinking ancient adepts didn't reference more than five sense. say, in reference to meditation involving witnessing of thoughts or contemplation. Hard to imagine that somehow in thousands of years of investigation that not a one ancient thought of these other senses not existing. More likely they didn't find them important towards obtaining experience in relationship to the systems they were writing about. Plausible right?? --Alankroeger 22:57, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Plausible?
Yes, I would say so... Gordo 15:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Umm interesting thought. I didn't mean to suggest the ancients were stupid!! But I was just amazed at the extent that it was still accepted without question in common parlance. Szczels 19:24, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I didn't mean to imply that you suggested such a thing, really, but I thought that something along the lines of what I wrote could be incorporated into your text. All that being said there is absolutely no evidence that I am aware of that empirically supports my suggestion. So just consider it a suggested addition to the text and only a plausible idea of why many only discussed five senses :) --Alankroeger 00:36, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
