It begins with an extension of the senses themselves because the senses are actually one unified 'sense' which is differentiated by different inputs in the body. If you didn't have the separation and receptive differentiation of the nose, the eyes, the ears, etc there would simply be one continuous stream of communication and everything would wash together in a big simultaneous synesthesia. However, understanding that the spirit itself is the root of the senses you can begin to sense the 'inner senses' which are the subtler parallels of the physical senses. In this way one can learn to 'smell', 'see' and 'hear' energy and other dimensional states by using the inner senses as extensions of the outer senses, since they are one continuous sense.
