What we know about the Seventh Sense in this day and age in my
experience suggests the mind is the ultimate correspondent between
the past, present & future aspects in the known paranormal
activity my restless mind appears to have move into another level
of enquiries, such as how can we see and hear that which is beyond
the five physical senses and today the six sense I am now concerned
with the seven sense. When the physical mind becomes steady in the
light nothing entering to upset the equilibrium becoming stabilised
time stands still and through this process comes a perceptive
awareness never before envisaged illuminating the mind with
knowledge and wisdom in the natural world the above statement is
called as imagination.

African shamanism teaches that nature is magical, and magic is
natural. After being rescued from a life-threatening encounter with
lions in the Timbavati game region by a sangoma known as the 'Lion
Queen', Linda Tucker embarks on a journey into the mysteries of the
most sacred animal on the African continent: the legendary White
Lion. It is a mystical journey into the knowledge and ceremonies of
Old Africa, in which humans and lions are able to cross the species
barrier - in accordance with the most guarded secrets of Ancient
Egypt and humankind's greatest riddle, the sphinx. It is also a
real living journey. Scientists in our day have established that
humankind's most significant evolutionary leap occurred as a result
of our ancestors' interaction with great cats. The White Lion is a
generic rarity of Panthera leo, and occurred in one region only on
earth: Timbavati. Today White Lions form the centre of the
notorious 'canned' trophy hunting industry - hand reared captive
lions, shot in enclosures for gross money. By contrast, shamans
believe that killing a lion-sun god is the ultimate sacrilege. How
the human species treats such precious symbols of God in nature may
determine how nature treats the human species.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes.
The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America.
In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
