so the we get five kinds of information from our senses is that all the information that is there in the cosmos or is there more which we are not able to perceive yes definitely there is more to reality than what is perceivable through the senses the senses give us certain kind of information there have been I will give two pointers which have happened even in mainstream science that there is something in the universe which is beyond what we see there is what is called as the staring phenomena staring phenomena means if I am sitting here right now and somebody is staring at me from behind now I don’t have eyes at the back of my head to know whether I am seeing if somebody is there or not but somehow people almost everyone has an uncanny awareness when you feel that somebody is staring and you look behind and maybe that person looks away if they don’t know now there are some people who are able to do it more they get it 90% right if it was simply guesswork 50% right 50% wrong but almost everyone when experiments were done they get it at least around 60-70% more than the average if it was just guesswork so some people have a very high ability now how does it happen there is just no way if we just reduce ourselves to physical reality there is no way there is some other way by which we sense things which we are not aware of another experiment was what was done in Princeton University on random number generators random number generators as the name says they are going to generate one number by random from 0 to 9 so the probability of one particular number coming out is 1 10th now if there is an observer and the observer stands in front of the number generator and says and intensely they desire that over a period of time when these trials are repeated millions of times a statistically significant deviation came up that means if normally it would have been just 1 10th if a person is consciously desiring let it come 6 the percentage will be significantly more and what was astonishing about this is that the person did not have to be in the room also the person could be at home and the experiment would be going on in the lab in fact eventually they did it in such a way that the person was in Europe and the experiment was going on in America and still statistically significant statistically significant deviation happened not only that the person desired on Monday the experiment was on Friday and still the deviation happened so how did all this happen that is something which is not explainable at the material, at the physical level of reality. There is definitely much more information in the universe much more layers of information that are there and there are various yogis who are able to see in paranormal ways so they are able to see something, some people there is a whole branch called clairvoyance clairvoyance means we are able to see what we cannot see in normal and there are well documented cases of people being able to have clairvoyant abilities so these are all phenomena which indicate that our current modes of perception they are prominent but they are not exclusive.
There are other modes of perception, there are other forms of information that are also available in the universe does it answer your question?
