These two extra physical senses are, respectively, (1) the sense of the
presence of other living things; and (2) the telepathic sense. As I also
told you, these two extra physical senses have their astral counterparts.
They also have certain physical organs which are not generally recognized
by physiologists or psychologists, but which are well known to all
occultists. I shall now consider the first of the two above-mentioned
extra physical senses, in order to clear the way for our consideration of
the question of the distinction between ordinary telepathy and that form
of clairvoyance which is its astral counterpart.
There is in every human being a sense which is not generally recognized as
such, although nearly every person has had more or less experience
regarding its workings. I refer to the sense of the presence of other
living things, separate and apart from the operation of any of the five
ordinary physical senses. I ask you to understand that I am not claiming
that this is a higher sense than the other physical senses, or that it has
come to man in a high state of evolution. On the contrary, this sense came
to living things far back in the scale of evolution. It is possessed by
the higher forms of the lower animals, such as the horse, dog, and the
majority of the wild beasts.
