The experiences of the multisensory human are less limited than the experiences of the
five-sensory human. They provide more opportunities for growth and development and more
opportunities to avoid unnecessary difficulties. I have contrasted the experiences of the
five-sensory human with the experiences of the multisensory human in each instance to make
their differences as clear as possible, but this does not mean that the five-sensory phase
of our evolution, the phase from which we are emerging, is negative in comparison to the
phase of our evolution that we are entering, the multisensory phase. It is simply that it
is now no longer appropriate just as there came a time when the use of candles became
inappropriate because of electricity, but the advent of electricity did not make candle
power negative.
Who among us is an expert on the human experience? We have only the gift of sharing
perceptions that hopefully can help those on their journey. There is no such thing as an
expert on the human experience. The human experience is an experience in movement and
thought and form, and, in some cases, an experiment in movement and thought and form. The
most that we can do is comment on the movement, the thought and the form, but those
comments are of great value if they can help people to learn to move gracefully, to think
clearly, to form -- like artists -- the matter of their lives.
We are in a time of deep change. We will move through this change more easily if we are
able to see the road upon which we are traveling, our destination, and what it is that is
in motion. I offer what is in this book as a window through which I have come to see life.
I offer this window to you, but I do not say that it is necessary that you accept it.
There are so many ways to wisdom and to the heart. This is our greatest richness, and the
one that gives me the most joy.
We have much to do together.
Let us do it in wisdom and love and joy.
Let us make this the human experience.
