			{{GZ\|When we come to the next four senses, the sense of balance, the sense of movement, the sense of life and the sense of touch, we come to the distinctly inner senses. First of all, we have to do with distinctly inner senses. For what the sense of balance conveys to us is our own balance, what the sense of movement conveys to us is the state of movement in which we are. Our state of life is this general perception of how our organs are functioning, whether they are beneficial or detrimental to our life and so on. With the sense of touch it could be deceptive; but nevertheless, if you touch anything, what you have there as an experience is an inner experience. You do not feel the chalk, so to speak, but you feel the skin that has been pushed back, if I may express myself crudely; the process can of course be characterised much more finely. It is the reaction of your own inner being to an external process that is present in the experience, which is not present in any other sensory experience in the same way as in the tactile experience.

			Now, however, this latter group of senses is modified by something else. There you must remember something I said here a few weeks ago. Take the human being in relation to what is perceived through these last four senses; they are, in spite of the fact that we perceive things - our own movement, our own equilibrium - , they are, in spite of the fact that we perceive what we perceive in a decidedly subjective way inwardly, nevertheless processes that are quite objective. That is the interesting thing about it. We perceive these things inwardly, but what we perceive there are quite objective things, for it is basically physically indifferent whether, let us say, a block of wood moves or a human being, whether a block of wood is in equilibrium or a human being. For the outer physical world in its movement, the moving human being is to be regarded quite exactly in the same way as a block of wood; likewise with reference to equilibrium. And if you take the sense of life, it is not at first in relation to the outer world - apparently only - but it is so that what our sense of life transmits are quite objective processes. Imagine a process in a retort: it proceeds according to certain laws and can be described objectively. That which the sense of life perceives is such a process, which is situated inwardly. If it is all right, this process, completely as an objective process, then the sense of life transmits this to you, or if it is not all right, then the sense of life also transmits this to you. Even if the process is enclosed in your skin, the sense of life transmits it. After all, an objective process is nothing at all that has any special connection at first with the content of your soul life. And likewise with the sense of touch; it is always a change in the whole organic structure when we really touch. Our reaction is an organic change in our inner being. So in what we have given with these four senses, we have actually given an objective, one that places us as human beings in the world in the way that we are basically objective beings who can also be seen externally in the sense world. So that we can say that they are distinctly inner senses, but that which we perceive through them is in us just as much as that which we perceive externally in the world. Whether we finally set a block of wood in motion or whether the human being is in external motion is not important for the physical progress of events. The sense of movement is only there so that what happens in the outer world also comes to our subjective consciousness, is perceived.

			So you see, it is precisely the distinctly external senses that are truly subjective. They must bring what is perceived through them into our humanity in a pronounced sense. I would like to say that a swinging back and forth between the outer and inner world represents the middle group of senses, and a pronounced co-experiencing of something that we are, in that we belong to the world, not to ourselves, is conveyed to us by the last group of senses.\|206\|15ff}}

			=== Further senses ===

			However, modern [[physiology]] has confirmed that the circle of human senses is not yet exhausted. According to the current state of research, there are four more senses:

			* [[Temperature sense]] ([[thermoception]])
			* [[Pain sensation]] ([[nociception]]), which corresponds to Steiner's [[sense of life]] (also [[sense of pain]]).
			* [[Sense of balance]] ([[vestibular perception]])
			* [[Depth sensitivity]] or body sensation ([[proprioception]]), corresponds to Steiner's [[sense of movement]], but also includes a [[sense of position]] and a [[sense of force]], which senses the state of tension of [[muscle]]s and [[tendon]]s.

			Steiner also mentions three further senses which are particularly important in human social life, namely the [[sense of speech]], the [[sense of thinking]] and the [[sense of self]], which contemporary physiology does not yet recognise as independent senses.

			=== Division into senses of will, senses of feeling and senses of knowledge ===

			According to their relation to thinking, feeling and willing, the twelve senses are divided into three groups of 4 senses each.

			==== Will senses ====

			{{GZ\|First we have four senses: sense of touch, sense of life, sense of movement, sense of balance. These senses are mainly permeated by will activity. The will has an effect on perception through these senses. Just feel how the will works into the perception of movements, even if you carry out these movements while standing! The dormant will also works into the perception of your balance. It has a very strong effect on the sense of life, and it also has an effect on touch: for when you touch something, it is basically a conflict between your will and the environment. In short, you can say that the sense of balance, the sense of movement, the sense of life and the sense of touch are senses of will in the narrower sense. With the sense of touch, the human being sees externally that, for example, he moves his hand when he touches something: therefore it is obvious to him that this sense is present for him. In the case of the sense of life, the sense of movement and the sense of equilibrium, it is not so obvious that these senses are present. But as they are senses of will in a special sense, man sleeps through these senses, because he sleeps in the will. And in most psychologies you will not find these senses mentioned at all, because in regard to many things science comfortably sleeps along with the sleep of the outer man.\|293\|128}}

			* [[Sense of touch]]
			* [[Sense of life]]
			* [[Sense of movement]]
			* [[Sense of balance]]

			The senses of will are directed entirely towards the interior of the body, the condition of which, however, they perceive quite objectively:

	{{GZ\|If we now analyse in reality the cesamt area, the circumference of our outer experiences, which we perceive in a similar way, let us say, like the visual experiences or like the tactile experiences or like the warmth experiences, then we come to twelve senses which can be clearly distinguished from one another, and which I have often enumerated before in the following way: firstly, the sense of ego, which, as I have said, is to be distinguished from the consciousness of one's own ego; by sense of ego is meant nothing other than the ability to perceive the ego of the other. The second is the sense of thought, the third the sense of word, the fourth the sense of hearing, the fifth the sense of warmth, the sixth the sense of sight, the seventh the sense of taste, the eighth the sense of smell, the ninth the sense of balance. Whoever can really analyse in this field knows that there is a quite limited field of perception, just as there is the field of vision, a limited field which simply gives us a feeling that we as human beings are in a certain equilibrium. Without a sense that would convey to us this standing in equilibrium or this floating and dancing in equilibrium, without this we would certainly not be able to build up our consciousness completely. Then the sense of movement is next. The sense of movement is the perception of whether we are at rest or in motion. We must experience this perception in us in exactly the same way as we experience our facial perception. Eleventh, the sense of life, twelfth, the sense of touch (see drawing page 25).\|206\|11f}}		{{GZ\|If we now analyse in reality the cesamt area, the circumference of our outer experiences, which we perceive in a similar way, let us say, like the visual experiences or like the tactile experiences or like the warmth experiences, then we come to twelve senses which can be clearly distinguished from one another, and which I have often enumerated before in the following way: firstly, the sense of ego, which, as I have said, is to be distinguished from the consciousness of one's own ego; by sense of ego is meant nothing other than the ability to perceive the ego of the other.
