Elevation of consciousness and the sensory perceptions are intimately linked.
But heightened awareness is dependent upon the spiritual faculties, those of reason and free will. If it is desirable to fully engage reality and enhance life and living, the parameters of one's understanding must be challenged and extended. One does not simply say, "I will be more perceptive", and attain anything without knowledge and intent.
Clarity in thought and action is a choice, requiring reading the difficult works, grappling with greater ideas, contending with opinion and theory, and daring to listen, with the inner ear, beyond the given.
