Latent Senses

The perception lesson attributes to Yogi teaching the existence of higher senses that remain undeveloped, or only partly developed, in most people. It explicitly sets those faculties aside while discussing the senses already in ordinary use.

At the lesson's close, the author claims that exercising existing faculties also assists the unfolding of latent powers and senses. That promised extension is presented as a consequence of cultivation, rather than demonstrated by the observation exercises themselves.

The distinction between an available faculty and a promised future faculty explains why the source can discuss everyday observation alongside esoteric development. Its promise is recorded as a claim; completing a concentration exercise does not verify an additional sense.
