Dear Eldon The senses also seem to evolve with us, in the third and fourth root race, we were psychic (6th sense) prior to intellectual development. Our psychic sight through the pineal or pituitary (can never remember which one) becomes suspended. We can see this in the aboriginal tribes where they are far more psychic/intuitive than they are intelligent. Cass Eldon B Tucker <eldon@theosophy.com> wrote: In a discussion of the development of the senses in the root races, there are some interesting comments by HPB on page 535 of Volume I of The Secret Doctrine. In a footnote, for instance, it says: "The ancients divided the senses into five, simply because their teachers (the Initiates) stopped at the HEARING, as being that sense which developed in the PHYSICAL PLANE (got dwarfed rather, limited to this plane) only at the beginning of the Fifth Race. (The Fourth Race already had begun to lose the SPIRITUAL condition, so preeminently developed in the Third Race.)" What she seems to be saying is that we have all the senses from the very first race, but they start out as astral or non-physical senses, which goes along with our non-physical nature in the earliest races. One by one, the outer senses develop, the psychical or non-physical aspect being superseded by physical perception. The main point I get out of it is that we always have our seven senses, even though it takes a long time for them to develop physically.
