All that we know of the world in which we live comes to us through our five tenses. This unusual film reveals the amazing complexity and co-ordination of our sensory nerves; it also shows how much of the material world remains outside their range. The remarkable experiments that demonstrate this have only been made possible by recent scientific advance, and the film reminds us how far we yet have to advance in our knowledge of the spiritual world.
Produced at the Moody Institute of Science, Los Angeles, and shown by arrangement with Fact and Faith Films
