Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking. — Black Elk Saying
God speaks to us through our senses. He is constantly sending us messages in what we see, hear, taste, smell, and touch. My EFM class and many readers of the Pew know of my experience when God spoke to me through the smell of honeysuckle. We hear a wonderful symphony or a sweet song and are convinced that God played a part in its making. The list goes on and on. A wonderful meditation one morning is to remember when God spoke to you through each sense.
But the American Indians and many other religions believe God also speaks to us through a sixth sense. It comes in the form of dreams, imagination, inspiration, or instinct, and we need to pay just as much attention to our dreams and intuition as we do the other five senses. Don’t cast them aside, for hasn’t experience taught you already that your first instinct or feeling is often the right one?
Pay attention when God speaks through your five senses, but respect his voice when he speaks through the sixth sense as well.
