Being that the Kabballa encompasses everything, i thought i would raise this subject of interest here.
Our perception of the external universe comes through our senses. The feedback from the senses is incredibly powerful for our formation of self. I would take it that senses are located in malkut. Indeed our window into malkut comes through our senses. Without them, perhaps we would never see past the vail of paroketh. Recently I have been more aware of the power of these sensory 'gates' and there profound affect on our perception.
What has surprised me most is that there are more than five human senses.

This seems to be the best site i can find on this subject. Although on others it seems to imply between 9-21 human senses.(depending on definition of sense)
My thought here is this :-
how much of our spiritual understanding or 'feeling' would be lost if a sense never existed. If all humans did not have the sense of sight for example, Would the tree of life still have existed? . If we had echo location instead of sight, how different would we as a species be ? Sight to me is perhaps the most powerful sense, the one which if lost (i.e had never existed) would have the largest effect on how we, humans, have developed.
