SENSORY SYSTEMS

We have many specialized Sensory Systems.

The External Senses

Sight (Vision)
Hearing (Auditory)
Smell (Olfactory)
Taste (Gustatory)
Touch (Tactile)

The Internal Systems

Vestibular (Movement): the movement and balance sense, which gives us information about where our head and body are in space.

Proprioception (Body Position): the body awareness sense, which tells us where our body parts are relative to each other. It also gives us information about how much force to use, allowing us to do something like crack an egg while not crushing the egg in our hands.

There are many, many other Sensory Systems of various kinds.

Another sense affects our entire being as well: our Spiritual System that should discern all of the others and more. Our Seven Senses are physical and the Spirit of God is Spiritual and discerns that which is Spiritual. It is not either/or…but both that makes us complete.

With all these senses…we should have enough sense to know not to have anything to do with Halloween.
