🌿 Familiar and Unfamiliar Senses — The Eyes of a Lemurian 🌿
Hi loving friends,
Allow yourself to use the Eyes of a Lemurian. Allow yourself to relearn how to use what I call our unfamiliar senses: clairsentience, clairvoyance, claircognizance, and clairaudience. Alongside these, allow yourself to rediscover imagination, desire, intuition, dreaming, creativity, and perhaps most importantly, balance.
You have already learned how to use one set of senses. You simply may not remember learning them.
When you entered this world, you did not understand everything you saw. Your eyes received light, shapes, colours, faces, and movement, but gradually you learned how to interpret what those things meant. You learned to hear and eventually recognize different sounds. You learned touch, smell, and taste. Even those familiar senses continue developing and changing throughout your life. As a child, you might have loved strawberries while wanting those Brussels sprouts nowhere near your plate. Then years later, somebody puts Brussels sprouts in front of you and suddenly you enjoy them. Your sensory relationship with the world has changed.
So why would we assume our learning stops with the five familiar senses?
Within my teachings, there are other ways of perceiving reality that I call the unfamiliar senses. Clairsentience is receiving information through feeling or energetic sensation. Clairvoyance can involve images, symbols, colours, visions, or impressions beyond ordinary physical sight. Claircognizance is knowing something without initially understanding how you know it. Clairaudience involves perceiving communication beyond ordinary physical hearing.
These senses become particularly important within channeling because communication does not always arrive through words. Something may arrive as an image, feeling, knowing, sound, symbol, vibration, impression, or even an entire concept that seems to enter consciousness at once.
But I want us to go further than the clair senses. I want us to rediscover imagination. I want us to rediscover intuition, dreaming, creativity, and desire. These are extraordinary faculties through which we interact with possibility and participate in creating our lives.
Look around you. Almost everything humanity has created began, in some form, within these faculties. Before the house existed, somebody imagined it. Before the painting existed, somebody perceived an image. Before the song existed physically, somebody heard or felt something within. Before an invention became tangible, somebody wondered, dreamed, desired, experimented, and created.
People sometimes tell me, “Chris, I’m just not creative.”
Yes, you are.
You forgot.
Perhaps you weakened your relationship with your innate creativity. Perhaps you learned to trust only what you could physically see, hear, touch, smell, or taste. But forgetting how to use something does not necessarily mean it disappeared.
You can relearn.
Before There Is Explanation, There Is Impression
Think about a newborn child. A newborn does not enter the world possessing an adult interpretation of everything surrounding them. The child gradually learns what a face means, what a voice means, what movement means, what warmth means, what touch means, and what safety means. Yet before the child possesses language to delineate any of those experiences, the child is already sensing the world.
Before there is explanation, there is impression. Before there is language, there is sensation. Before the mind says, “I understand,” something within us may already have received information.
This is one reason our earliest experiences can become so influential. Experiences of connection, safety, emotional availability, instability, or disconnection can become part of the foundation through which we later interpret relationships. Sometimes an adult keeps searching externally for something the younger self never fully experienced internally: Give me more love. Prove that you love me. Don’t leave me.
Yet an adult explanation does not always reach an experience formed before the adult mind existed. Sometimes healing asks us to return compassionately to the deeper emotional and sensory layers where those early meanings were first formed. This is one of the places where inner-child work can become incredibly profound.
Imagination Is the Bridge — Balance Is the Guardian
As we begin reopening unfamiliar perception, there is something equally important that must develop alongside it: balance.
There are people who become deeply absorbed in imagination, spirituality, or unfamiliar perception without equally developing discernment, boundaries, responsibility, and groundedness. Eventually, the unfamiliar begins replacing the familiar rather than enriching it.
That is not what I am teaching.
You still live a human life. You may have a family, children, a job, a business, bills, appointments, commitments, and people depending upon you. Spiritual exploration does not require abandoning practical reality.
Yes, go hug a tree once in a while. Talk to it if you want.
But if your business partner asks where you disappeared to at lunchtime and you say, “I became the maple tree because I wanted to know what the weather was going to do,” perhaps we have drifted slightly too far from balance. 😂 For crying out loud, there is also a meteorologist.
There must be a bridge between worlds.
Imagination is part of that bridge, but balance allows you to cross it without losing yourself.
Balance means wisdom. It means understanding your shadow, establishing boundaries, knowing where those boundaries are, and remaining responsible both as the adult you are and the spiritual being you understand yourself to be. It means cultivating direction, purpose, love, will, presence, exploration, awakening, giving, receiving, vision, commitment, and wonder.
You do not need to embody all of those perfectly. Perhaps one or two are calling strongly to you right now.
Begin there.
Talk to Nature and Let Nature Speak to You
Have you ever entered nature and experienced something beyond simply looking at it?
Perhaps you walked into a forest and, for one defining moment, you did not merely see the trees. You felt the forest. Perhaps you stood beside the ocean and experienced the water as alive. Maybe you held a stone, sat beside a creek, watched the Moon, touched the Earth, or listened to the wind and experienced an unexpected sense of connection.
This approaches what is sometimes called animism: understanding or experiencing spirit, soul, agency, or living presence throughout aspects of the natural world. Within the Lemurian consciousness I teach, nature is not simply scenery surrounding humanity. Nature is a living community of intelligence.
Talk to nature.
Let nature speak to you.
What is nature saying to you, Divine Ones?
There are moments when we can consciously soften our ordinary sense of separateness and experience unity without losing individuality. You can enter into relationship with the tree, sky, river, ocean, animals, and new life springing from Mother Earth without pretending that you have literally become them.
You remain you.
Yet perhaps you remember that you belong to something larger.
During this monumental decade, your relationship with nature can become a portal into your true work, calling, relationship with the Divine, balance, ability to recharge, and ability to hear what your next step might be.
Go somewhere quiet and listen. Listen to the wind moving through the trees or the ocean breaking against the shore. But do not listen only to the crashing wave.
Listen between the waves.
Listen to the pause. Listen to the tree before the next movement of wind. Listen to the air. Listen to the Sun and Moon. Listen to fire, Earth, water, stones, and crystals.
What arises within you when you become quiet enough to receive?
This is conscious presence. It is exploring the world with wonder while remaining present within it. It is touching, smelling, hearing, seeing, sensing, and experiencing the unknown God-Goddess surrounding us. As conscious presence deepens, material that was previously outside our ordinary awareness may begin rising into consciousness.
The Community of the Forest
You might walk into a park and ask, “What does this park know?”
But another beautiful question is: What is this park connected to?
Trees and plants exist within enormous networks of relationship. Roots interact with soil, fungi, microorganisms, minerals, and water. Plants respond to environmental and chemical signals. Pollination moves through wind, insects, animals, and reproductive structures. The natural world is continually exchanging information without requiring human speech.
And yes, trees reproduce.
Some trees have male and female reproductive structures, and pollen can travel considerable distances on the wind.
There are advantages to being human, you know.
Imagine standing fifty feet apart waiting for the wind and then shouting afterward, “Was that good for you?” 😂
Nature has a sense of humour if you are willing to see it.
But beneath the humour is something important: communication does not require human language.
The forest communicates as forest. The river communicates as river. The animal communicates as animal. The Earth communicates as Earth. Our work is not necessarily to force those relationships into human words, but to become sensitive enough to notice what arises within us when we consciously enter relationship with them.
The Earth’s Wi-Fi
As you begin opening your unfamiliar senses, it can feel as though you are connecting with what I playfully call the Earth’s Wi-Fi system.
Within my spiritual cosmology, the trees, plants, animals, stones, waters, elemental beings, and Mother Earth participate within an immense field of relationship. As you walk consciously through the pathless woods—loving, blessing, touching, sensing, listening—you may begin experiencing impressions, symbols, emotions, healing, memories, or intuitive insights through that communion.
You are no longer merely walking through the forest.
You are walking with it.
Within the Lemurian understanding I teach, the Earth carries memory. The ancient ones, trees, rocks, creeks, animals, mountains, and elemental kingdoms participate within this greater living consciousness. Gnomes and elemental beings also belong within this spiritual framework as part of the subtle ecology of Mother Earth, carrying their own symbolism and forms of communication.
You do not have to force any of this.
Open. Sense. Observe.
And remain balanced.
A Walk Can Change Your State
Even before exploring deeper unfamiliar senses, simply walking consciously through nature can change your state of being.
When you are troubled, facing a difficult decision, or having a challenging conversation with your partner, sometimes the wisest thing you can say is, “I’m going for a walk. I’ll give you an answer when I come back.”
You may not consciously think about the problem while walking. You simply walk. Yet when you return, something may have shifted. Perhaps you are clearer, calmer, more centred, or more confident. The problem may still exist, but you are no longer approaching it from precisely the same state in which you entered the forest.
Now imagine taking that same walk while consciously opening both your familiar and unfamiliar senses.
Instead of returning and saying, “Yeah, that was a good walk,” perhaps you begin noticing an entirely different world of aromas, sounds, colours, textures, feelings, impressions, symbols, intuitions, and subtle communication.
The forest did not necessarily change. Your capacity to receive it changed.
Sense First. Interpret Later.
The next time you are somewhere in nature, sit quietly. Choose a tree, plant, creek, stone, crystal, animal, or simply Mother Earth herself.
Do not immediately demand a message.
Sense.
Can you sense its presence? Can you imagine or perceive colour without physically seeing colour? Can an impression arise without immediately explaining it? Can you become curious about what you feel without forcing that feeling into a predetermined spiritual meaning?
The analytical mind may immediately want to translate everything.
Don’t rush.
Remember the newborn. The newborn does not need to name everything before experiencing it.
Sense first. Interpret later.
This is one way we can begin exploring clairsentience, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and claircognizance while still retaining discernment.
Your light may also be experienced through more than the familiar senses. Look with your psychic senses. Listen to the colours of your aura. Perhaps you might even imagine that you can hear your light.
That sounds contradictory to the ordinary mind because we normally separate sight from sound. Yet imagination and unfamiliar perception do not always arrive within those tidy categories. A colour may evoke a feeling. A sound may create an image. A knowing may arrive without words. A single image may seem to contain an entire teaching.
Explore without immediately needing to declare what the experience objectively is.
Curiosity leaves room for discovery.
The Eyes of a Lemurian
The Eyes of a Lemurian are not merely physical eyes.
They represent a way of perceiving life: looking without immediately separating, listening without demanding words, feeling without immediately explaining, imagining without abandoning discernment, and experiencing unity without surrendering boundaries.
You can have imagination and common sense. You can have intuition and discernment. You can explore clairvoyance while maintaining boundaries. You can communicate spiritually with nature and still go to work Monday morning.
You can be mystical and pragmatic.
You can be human and Divine.
You can walk between the familiar and unfamiliar worlds without abandoning either one.
Talk to nature and let nature speak to you. Explore what happens when you consciously open your senses. Perhaps the world has always contained more information, beauty, mystery, and wonder than you previously had the capacity—or willingness—to perceive.
Everything you are is an accumulation of what you have learned and experienced. Within my spiritual understanding, that wisdom reaches even further, lifetime after lifetime, remaining accessible through Soul, Higher Self, consciousness, and the deeper energetic architecture of our being.
Opening your senses becomes another doorway.
So open your senses.
Open your imagination.
Open your intuition.
Open your creativity.
And keep your feet firmly connected with Mother Earth while you do it.
Be that.
Yes to life.
Affirmation
I allow myself to use the Eyes of the Lemurian within my life. I open my familiar and unfamiliar senses through imagination, intuition, creativity, wisdom, discernment, and balance. I allow myself to explore the living intelligence of Mother Earth while remaining present, grounded, responsible, and fully embodied within my human life.
Open your senses.
The Connection
There may already be moments when you feel something speaking through the silence.
A feeling…
A knowing…
A thought that seems to arrive from somewhere deeper.
Perhaps you have been channeling more than you realize.
Learning to channel is about developing that connection until you can recognize it, trust it, and work with it consciously.
If you’re ready to discover how your guides communicate with you, I’d be honored to walk beside you.
