6th sense- A truth or myth?

I don't know what is 6th sense. Yes,there were some people before in this world,who knows to predict the future.
At present too,there would be few who still knew this,but they are invisible to us in this real world.

Yes I believe in the sixth sense, but I think one cannot predict the future per se, but one does get intuitions or premonition of something bad that may happen!

Kalyani mam,as i told that there are few people who are present and knows those tricks to predict abouth what could happen next but they are invisible. They don't want to come out and show us.

Ronark, predicting future happenings is something much different than sixth sense, although sometimes they do relate but not always. So do not confuse between predictions and sixth sense.

Sixth sense is actually extrasensory perception (ESP)which involves reception of information not gained through the recognized five physical senses but sensed with the mind.

Mam,i am not talking about sixth sense. I was sharing my views on prediction.

Oh well, okay! Perhaps I did not understand your post, apologies! :)

yes, i too believe on sixth sense. also i believe on predicting future, still there are so-many old senior persons predicting our future based on our horoscope.

To my humble understanding it has nothing to do with predicting or not predicting future rather superior uses of our five senses which produce this extraordianry sense. In this respect I am reminded of a definition of common sense as defined by a famous Yoga teacher and I quote:A sense which is uncommon is called common sense!!

I am a firm believer in sixth sense. I think it exists in every human, but it is suppressed in most. Many a times we have days when our heart feels heavy for no particular reason or our mind tells us that today is going to be a bad day.

These are all but examples of sixth sense and the extraordinary power of the brain. One common and best example about the extraordinary power of brain could be this:

Picture yourself sitting on a bench in a park. A man is continuously staring at you from behind. Though you visibly can't see but you get a feeling as if you are being watched. It is nothing but the power of our brain.

I have done extensive research on the subject and have research spanning pages. So instead of you having to read my ramblings about the topic, I would suggest that you watch this particular documentary. This video covers the topic of SIXTH SENSE extremely well with a scientific approach. A must watch really!!

Its so nice of you Arun,for this explanation on six sense and thanks for the video.

Thank you Jain for uploading this video. 45 minutes.
So, I think I should see this one when I get enough time and comment about it later.

But, one thing is for sure. Every man has an unknown power within him which can be termed as '6th sense'. It can be developed only by training our own mind by giving it more concentration and power. I believe so.
Day before yesterday, a sudden thought came to my mind. It had two halves. First part happened yesterday. That's why, I post this question. I am praying the second part should also come true. If so, I will say it to you.
It has happened to me several times before also.

Rest, after seeing this video.

It's the highest sense implanted in human beings which reamain hidden and needs to be cultivated. Our arrogance, ignorance and other limitations come in the way of discovering it!!

yes, it is the hidden strength of human mind. Only a few recognizes it

Thanks Arun for the video.......would surely watch it...now i would have a more fair idea on Sixth Sense........

Sometimes we expect something good or bad to happen. This is just mood. We call this sixth sense. According to law of probability, what we feel may be true or untrue. If true, we say that our sixth sense is excellent. Otherwise this is ignored.

Exactly, this is how many so called religious gurus cheat people. Suppose 100 women go to the Guru for begetting a child. The religious Guru gives them some fake magic powder that would beget child. Incidentally, 20 conceive. These women would propagate about so called magical powers of the Guru. His name and fame will spread.

I agree fully! Lack of sensitivity and understanding does hamper its discovery.

We come across a cross-section of people belonging to diverse fields but only those who have it stand out with their superlative success!

What is mood then and how do we get a mood/thought of something?

Brain isn't it?

The video I mentioned in my previous post contain many scientific experiment which tend to suggest that Sixth sense exists.

But yea, I completely agree with you on how the so-called religious gurus cheat people. But that is pure fraud and has nothing to do with sixth sense at all and also very little to do with probability. It is pure guess work and also many "BABAS" create problems themselves and solve them.

I would also add concentration and low self esteem to the list.

Concentration because sixth sense is not a visible or a highly developed sense or we won't be discussing whether it exists or not. So it requires a lot of focus and energy to activate that sense and receive signals.

Our Vedas also state that when you concentrate (meditation) you can hear your inner voice and it will guide. I think by Inner voice our ancestors meant sixth sense in modern terms.


And low self esteem is a big roadblock on the way to sixth sense. When you suffer from low confidence or low self esteem, no matter what your sixth sense tells you, you won't be paying any heed and will try your best to suppress it. Then one day it will stop communicating with you.

Our Universe works on a USE IT OR LOSE IT principle. Don't use something and you will gradually lose it, just like we lost our tail!!! ;)

Thank you Arun for your nice ideas. I think you are really interested in this. Can you give us some examples, such experiences of people etc.
I think it is really an interesting topic
