>You benefit by influences beyond your sensory perceptions and there is no reason you should not be able to gain awareness of those if you open yourself to the possibility of that awareness. It is experiential, however, and I can't experience things for you, so to grow in this manner is to accept the challenge each of us faces, to seek the whole truth, or not.< If you replace the word "awareness" with "knowledge", which allows an indirect learning mode, I follow. However the way I was working with it, awareness is more direct than knowledge. Try as I might, I am unaware of my pancreas even though I know I have one. If you accept my temporary and stringent use of awareness, can you explain how I might overcome the self-imposed limits you mention in your first sentence? I imagine having awareness beyond my body to be a paranormal or miraculous event, rather akin to astral travel. I know there are stars because I see them. I know something of stellar evolution because astrophysics fascinate me. However, am I aware of a star? No, since I cannot feel the star. I cannot project my awareness into it. ...maybe I am being too semantically picky. I do not know.
