A sensuous person is one who is ruled by their senses. Because this term has a negative connotation, however, modern thought substitutes “sensuality” to “empirical science.” This is merely a mask for the rulership of the senses–complete reliance upon that which can be seen, felt, tasted, heard, and smelled to whatever degree of scientific “repeatability” you desire. And yet, it is largely believed that if something is not observable, then it does not exist. This was true of cells, molecules, and atoms at one time. Did they suddenly exist when we sensed them? How about dark matter and energy (the majority of the universe)–did these, too, suddenly exist when formulas necessitated it? How about the supernatural?
