This feeling, as
may be seen at once, is an inheritance from our savage ancestors, or
perhaps from our lowly-animal ancestral roots. It is a most unpleasant
feeling, and the race escapes much discomfort by reason of its comparative
absence.
I have said that occultists have developed, or rather re-developed this
sense. They do this in order to have a harmonious well-developed
seven-fold sense system. It increases their general "awareness." Certain
other knowledge of the occultist neutralizes the unpleasant features of
the manifestation of this sense, and he finds it often a very valuable
adjunct to his senses of seeing and hearing, particularly in the cases in
which he is approached by persons having antagonistic or hostile feelings
toward him, as in such cases this faculty is particularly active. In
connection with the telepathic sense (to be described a little further on)
this sense operates to give a person that sense of warning when approached
by another person whose feelings are not friendly to him, no matter how
friendly the outward appearance of that person may be. These two extra
senses co-operate to give a person that instinctive feeling of warning,
which all of us know in our own experience.
This particular, as well as the telepathic sense, may be cultivated or
developed by anyone who wishes to take the time and trouble to accomplish
the work.
