I think that's the food for a very distant future, maybe the next Satya Yuga. I wish I were wrong though.
Maybe 🤔 it’s enhanced olfactory sensitivity since my hearing has been dampened so much from playing in Loud bands. But I seem to be even in tune with astral fragrances when there is no visual stimulus. It’s unusual in the sense that when you think about it the brain cuts it off. What I mean by that is that such fragrances are not dependent on the mental processes but rather are intuitive in nature.
There are more physical aspects to this as well. I have a favorite place I go because of the ‘incense’ of the tress, leaves and the moisture in the air from the river. And occasional blossom also adds to the smell that fills my lungs and body. It seems so much more easier to jog or meditate in these conditions, voiding the incessant physical presence of mosquitoes and small insects, that crawl over you as the summer progresses.
