supersensory
Past normal sensing
Supersensory describes perception or experience beyond the ordinary senses—what cannot be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or smelled.
The term appears in discussions of mysticism, parapsychology, and altered states of consciousness: supersensory awareness, supersensory phenomena.
It overlaps with extrasensory but emphasizes transcendence rather than mere addition to normal perception.
