Thank you, its always interesting to find out where I'm being misunderstood, but i've still no idea why, ... which is even more interesting :-)
I suppose i am referring to an altered state of consciousness, but it's absolutely nothing mystical or to do with inner or deeper senses. Ah i think i see it:
There refers to "We believe to find peace of mind and be awake in the present moment we need a mental shift of perspective. We only rarely associate this shift of perspective directly with our senses and how we use them."
I realise now that what i wrote was very complicated and has double meanings - (i do try and always follow my guide "keepitsimple" - sorry) what i'm saying is : We don't only need a mental shift of perspective, it's NOT all in the mind.
As to the atrophied senses and Adam and Eve, i totally agree, but first they had to focus to pick the apple. Maybe the root of all good and evil is focussing (?).
