Existence

For the educated- the ones brought up on science, it is not difficult to believe that certain "things" exist that are beyond some of our senses. For example, there are things we cannot see but can smell and/or feel (air, LPG). So, it would not be hard for them to agree with the following statement-

Just because something cannot be seen does not mean that that thing does not exist.

Going a little further, one can even think of things that are beyond all our senses, but whose existence has been conclusively proven by science. Take the UV Rays for example. As far as I know, we humans cannot see them, feel them, smell them, hear them or taste them, but science says that they exist. And I guess that the basis of the proof of their existence is 'inference'. I am tempted to add 'inference' as the sixth sense that we possess, but I will try to resist the temptation for now. So, I guess, that an educated person may also easily agree that-

Just because something is beyond my five external senses does not mean that that thing does not exist.

Or, equivalently, there may be things that exist, that are beyond my external senses.

It should also be not too difficult to accept that the realization of the existence of something that lies beyond the reach of my senses cannot be had by the use of these senses alone- the use of some additional tool is necessary for such a realization, and that tool may conveniently be called an 'additional sense'. In the case of UV rays, that 'additional sense' was the brain, or possibly a certain portion of the brain that deals with logic and inference. If I had said that I would believe in the existence of UV rays only if I can 'perceive' them using my five senses and nothing else, I guess I would never have believed in their existence. So, if I were to depend on, and use, only my five senses, I think it would not be possible for me to realize that things beyond these senses may also exist. And if someone tried to explain about UV rays to me, I would not be able to understand.

Just like there is existence beyond the five senses, is it not possible that there is existence beyond the-senses-and-the-mind (or brain)? Beyond logic? Beyond inference? I do not think that it is possible to disprove, or understand, such an existence using only those tools beyond which this existence may lie.

It is said that God is beyond the reach of our senses and the brain.
