Synthetic vs sixth sense

“What with our ultra-modern standards, our scientific approach to everything, we are perhaps not well equipped to apply the powers of good that lie outside our synthetic knowledge.” (The Doctor’s Opinion)

A synthetic solution is something I’ve worked out by putting two and two together.

“To some extent we have become God-conscious. We have begun to develop this vital sixth sense.” (Page 85, Big Book)

With the sixth sense, the solution is given to me. I do not arrive at it synthetically. It comes from beyond.
