Definition of SENSATION

Sensations are produced when the universe impinges on the beingness. Sensation implies a beginning of implicit awareness, which then leads to explicit perception.

There are implicit mental sensations that result from the detection of the substance of thought, such as, feelings and emotions. Then there are explicit physical sensations that result from the detection of the substance of energy and matter, such as, touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell.

The implicit and explicit senses may combine into more complex sensations, such as that of gravity, orientation in space, body position, heat, cold, electrical, magnetic, hunger, satisfaction, pain, and pleasure.
