Senses: 5, or...7?

We may have more senses than the 5 we usually credit.  

Our physical senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste & touch) allow us to apprehend, comprehend and navigate the physical world around us.

But I think we also have 2 "metaphysical senses" - soul and spirit.

Spiritual sense is that part of us that allow us to apprehend, comprehend and navigate the unseen metaphysical world around us, as well as allow us to interact with God personally.

Soul sense allows us to use emotion, reason and intuition to process input from the other senses, both physical and spiritual.  It allows us to make moral judgments, to draw conclusions about wisdom vs foolishness, good vs evil, integrity vs corruption, justice vs oppression, worldview, conscience, purpose, morality, etc.
