Why is
Clairsentience
so little Understood ?

Having worked and spoken to many hundreds of people I am no longer surprised that so few people are familiar with the word "Clairsentient". Clairvoyance and Clairaudience are readily understood and accepted terms of reference for the abilities to "See" and "Hear" in a metaphysical sense. The word "sentient" literally means "feeling" with dictionary reference stating (sen-tee-ent) adj. capable of feeling - sentience. So in establishing it is the ability to "feel" beyond the five senses hence the metaphysical reference point; why is it so little understood?

We tend to be ignorant of any subject if it is not drawn to our attention and awareness; indeed we live in a society, which in general, is not comfortable with feelings or expressing their emotions in a natural and honest manner. The wordignorant in the context I use it, means "lacking knowledge" and it originates from the word "ignore" meaning "refuse to notice and disregard deliberately". Most sensitive people's birth families chose that mode of functioning by deliberately ignoring their feelings and in doing so the feeling element of the Being goes unrecognised and uneducated. Hence if we are ignoring something we are unlikely to teach and encourage our children to be "aware" of that, which we ourselves, are refusing to honour.

Even in this evolving period of time, we have a term of reference to Mind, Body and Spirit (representing Air, Earth and Fire) and yet there have always been four directions or powers. So even in supposed esoteric circles the fourth, the Water element representing "Emotions" gets completely left out. One also cannot help but notice that the Air element representing the Mind/intellect gets first position followed by Earth/body and finally Fire/Spirit really representing the agreed hierarchy of western society.

For highly sensitive beings their primary approach is always "Feeling" based and our feelings do not lie hence we tend to know the Truth of a situation. It is who we are; we are made up of two things, Truth and Compassion. The Compassion aspect of our Being often creates scenarios where we sacrifice ourselves for others; this is misuse of Compassion. So to reiterate, we are made up of Truth and Compassion and yet we live in a society that does not understand the first and whilst liking the idea of the second tends to judge it as weak. Is it surprising that we feel we do not "fit in" and yet we are meant to be here and not, I hasten to add, as a punishment? I meet and speak with many people who "just want to go home" and I empathise with them but we agreed to help and here we are. The further understanding of this lies in our Contracts and "Personal growth in this lifetime or Karma" read Purpose and Karma.

In general society people try to ignore their feelings (natural intuition) with different degrees of success. They bump along through life, with automatic coping strategies normally in the form of varying distractions; both substance and process addictions. They see nothing wrong with this, whilst any life experience that might attempt to offer a potential change of direction is mostly rejected and resisted as they use orthodox and even complimentary methods to maintain the status quo. These people represent the "norm" or the prevailing culture, which make up the five sensory world. The issue lies with people who experience their world "through" their feelings, trying to live in a world where they have forgotten who they are. This is easy to do when:

We are highly absorptive of other people's feelings; through enmeshment we tend to lose our sense of Self.

Through not doing our Energetic work consciously (our Spirit/Higher Self will do it irrespectively) we are exhausted.
See Compassion versus Sacrifice.

We have compromised ourselves by trying to "fit in" and in doing so have given our Power away to others.

We are no longer in tune with our primary source of guidance hailing from both the third and sixth chakras.
