It makes perfect sense, how you would categorise those "obscure" senses differently (there is a vein in psychology which I think has "discovered 39 different senses!! Clearly thinking along programming lines, detailing neurological responses,... I presume for now).
But the thing with spiritual science (which I research) is that it DOES see these 12 senses as direct and separate and critical INTERFACES for the integration of spiritual and physical realities...With trainingrounds rooted in actual life experience, independent from neurological feedback (or you'ld be dealing with loops). But I've given up on the more technical arguments for this, seeing that there is also a necessity to by-pass computational logic to even be aware of such a spiritual reality. Proving it exists is a Catch 22 in this case (very frustrating, but there is always art to try next!)
Look forward to more exciting explorations with you!
