Politics of Experience-reaction 1st draft

I think it is extremely true that people are not in touch with their senses. I know for me personally it is too strenuous to attempt to 'experience' with out using the basic 5 senses. You would think it would be very hard to learn this new way to experience but Laing says that it is unlearning that must be done because society has conditioned us to sense things in the most basic and primitive ways, not to be in depth with our senses. When I attempt to experience things on a deeper level I find my self at best thinking phenomenological about the senses I am familiar with; Sight, Taste, Touch, Smell, and Taste.
Trying to use other senses to experience is like attempting to use a higher percentage of brainpower, you know you have the capability to do so but don't even know where to begin.
The little fragments that I remember from when I was very young do seem extremely vivid. As a young child you have reactions to almost everything and everybody, which relates to what Laing said; people are supposed to have a very real affect on each other. When you are a young child you are not yet completely conditioned to thinking alienation is 'normal'. I must admit that sometimes it just seems boring to try to have a deep ‘sensual experience’ with things you do and see everyday, although this impatience most likely springs from being taught to experience the minimal and not pay attention to deeper feelings that may arise.
