This is Water

The sixth sense is a difficult sense to describe because it is not that easy to really describe. Experiencing the sixth sense is unique to each person since it is the least physical of the senses. I think David Abram’s description of air fits the six. In the Spell of The Sensuous, he states ho the air “is utterly invisible” but that we “know very well that there is something there” (Abram 225). While we ourselves could know some transcendent experience occurred, proving that the experience happened is usually more difficult and much harder to describe.

I do not know if this experience really qualifies as the sixth sense but it is the closest story I could think of. So, after pulling into the parking lot of the hospital my dad and I got were getting out of the car and heading towards the hospital. However, the car that had come in behind us stopped and the driver called out to my dad. The person turned out to be a car mechanic that my dad knew. After talking to my dad for a little bit, he gave him a bottle of holy water that he’d brought. He said that he did not really know why he had brought it along but felt that he should. After we parted ways my dad told me that he had been thinking of what had happened to the mechanic after the garage he worked at had moved.

That was – in a word – a strange experience since it was one of those moments where ‘coincidences” really add up and feel like more than just a coincidence. There is not a concrete why this encounter happened, it just happened. Whether you wish to attribute that to pure coincidence or some other influence is up to you. Either way, this experience was what I consider to involve some kind of a sixth sense, whatever that truly details. In conclusion, stay hydrated everyone.

  1. I think your story qualifies as a 6th sense example. Basically, as James Margotta has pointed out, "6th sense" is kind of a "placeholder" term that fits any our experiences in which we've "felt" or "known" something, but not through our ordinary 5 senses.
