We might here, for the sake of clarity, tabulate the five different aspects of the five senses on the five planes, so that their correspondences may be readily visualized, using the above table as the basis:

1. The First Sense - Hearing

Physical Hearing
Clairaudience
Higher Clairaudience
Comprehension (of four sounds)
Beatitude

2. The Second Sense - Touch or feeling

Physical Touch
Psychometry
Planetary Psychometry
Healing
Active Service

3. The Third Sense - Sight

Physical Sight
Clairvoyance
Higher Clairvoyance
Divine Vision
Realization

4. The Third Sense - Taste

Physical Taste
Imagination
Discrimination
Intuition
Perfection

5. The Third Sense - Smell

Physical Smell
Emotional Idealism
Spiritual Discernment
Idealism
All Knowledge

Hearing is the first sense to be manifested, revealing eventually the mystery of:

a) his own sound (physical)

b) his brother’s sound (Astral)

c) his group sound (mental)

d) the sound of the Heavenly Men with whom he is connected (Buddhic)

e) The sound of the logos (Atmic)

MICROCOSMIC SENSORY EVOLUTION
Physical plane	1. Hearing 2. Touch, feeling 3. Sight 4. Taste 5. Smell	5th - gaseous 4th - first Etheric 3rd - super-Etheric 2nd - subatomic 1st - atomic

Astral plane	1. Clairaudience 2. Psychometry 3. Clairvoyance 4. Imagination 5. Emotional idealism	5th 4th 3rd 2nd 1st

Mental plane	1. Higher clairaudience 2. Planetary psychometry 3. Higher clairvoyance 4. Discrimination 5. Spiritual discernment, response to group vibration, Spiritual telepathy	7th (form) 6th (form) 5th (form) 4th (form) 3rd (formless) 2nd (formless) 1st (formless)

Atmic plane	1. Beatitude 2. Active service 3. Realization 4. Perfection 5. All knowledge	5th 6th 5th 4th 3rd
It can be noted that we have not summed up the two planes of abstraction on the Atmic and the Buddhic planes, the reason being that they mark a degree of realization which is the property of initiates of higher degree than that of the adept, and which is beyond the concept of the evolving human unit, for whom this treatise is written.

Cosmic Symbology of the Senses:

The Circle with the Point: Consciousness and the not-self where sound alone is descriptive.

The divided Circle: Consciousness aware of the not-self through a dual recognition.
