With fused senses Elisabeth Sulser has an amazing gift to see words and hear sounds with colors, shapes and tastes. She is called a Synaesthete. There are others, like her, who see colors and shapes, but not tastes when they hear music or words. Elisabeth is unique among Synaesthetes. She can see colors, shapes and taste flavors depending on the words or music. Scientists are working with Synaesthetes from around the world to isolate the gene that causes this rare and amazing fusion.
“Dr. Jäncke speculates that synaesthetes may have a superior ability to learn, as the basic principle of connecting or associating an item with several other items is strongly linked to memory and creativity.”
~Discovery Channel, 2008~
If scientists find the gene and can successfully genetically alter human life with this fusion, the world will have a new species. As a result a wider genetic divide will occur. Only the wealthy would be able to provide their offspring with this type of memory and creativity.
Thinking out loud…
We already have a social-ecomonic gap in every urban and populated centre. The wealthy have the power based on education, research, and election to envision, influence, and act on, credible information that drives our everyday systems, whether biological or mechanical, forward. The power of a Synaesthete may be a building block that opens an area of the brain to higher consciousness. The ability to interpret environments on a completely different level may open channels to extrasensory and kinetic awareness and manipulation. The ability to understand and harness this synaptic energy may be the birth of telepathic communication with multi-dimensional species. Accordingly, the privilege of having this gift is similar to monarchs. Synaesthetes would be entrusted and obliged to protect the non-synaesthetes peoples and the world that surrounds them. The people of the earth evolve again. A new world order.
