appears as a prime input source. The answer may be that the latter is operating on some form of radiation-perception level, or in the case of the individual is more developed than the taste and smell patterns. Movement is considered a classification because it connotes action rather than passivity, and seems to be truly a sensory source above and beyond the traditional five senses, much as the balancing mechanisms in the physical body transmit signals to the brain independent of supporting or conflicting impulses from other senses. In the physical body, this mechanism may be based upon application of gravitational and inertial forces, and this may hold true in the Second State as well. Under the "Other" classification are types that have no physical counterpart The means of perception in the Second State are beyond the scope of present knowledge or theory. The most sound conjecture is that all perception in the Second State is achieved by means of some force in the electro-magnetic spectrum—by direct magnetic fields either received or induced, or through some force or field yet to be identified —rather than by counterparts of the physical mechanisms. Only by empirical study in wide multiple source testing could this be determined. ANALYSIS AND CLASSIFICATION One of the key points in the Second State phenomenon is how actively and accurately the mind sorts out perceived data and acts rationally upon such information. The evidence of identification was scaled in the following manner: Per Cent of Total Perceptions Familiar Similar Unknown Configuration (Shape or form) Structure Components Animate Intelligent Subhuman
