This sixth sense enables us to "see" how everything in the world is interconnected. Once this reality becomes apparent to us, we can understand that what is good for the whole is also good for the individual. Rather than "How does this affect me?" the calculation now becomes "How does this affect everything and everyone else?" The program of reception has been transformed into a program of giving. When we operate from this realization, it is referred to as "spiritual attainment."

It turns out that spiritual attainment is when the attaining (an individual) and the attained (humanity and all of Nature) come together. We cannot perceive the spiritual world and find answers to our spiritual questions with the five senses and the will to receive we are currently applying. Kabbalah provides the methodology to develop the sixth sense that can perceive the spiritual.

What is this sixth sense? It is not a sense in the usual meaning, but rather an intention with which we use our senses. In fact, we don’t need to use any special instruments or look for anything outside ourselves; instead, we just need to transform the intention that already exists within us. By developing the intention to perceive outside of our existing will to receive, tuning in to the interconnected frequency of the universe, we are able to expand the boundaries of our perception and perceive a wider reality. The Kabbalists tell us that by developing the intention to attain the spiritual world, we can discover the complete picture of reality, the interconnectedness of everything, and our place in this interconnected reality.
