The human experience is characterized by the desire to expand our perception. 

One of the ways is called Techno-Perceptual Expansion. Our tools expand what we see. We create different tools to give us insight into the world beyond our senses.

Another way is through strengthening of what we naturally have. This can be achieved through thorough mindful use to achieve mastery over our senses. We can even develop and access senses that are otherwise dormant or involuntary within us.
