I. Sensation
Sensation is the perception of the external world through the five senses. Sensation is also called “perception”, “reception”, “awareness”, “feeling”, “knowing” or “experience”. Sensation can be divided into two sub-worlds:
a. “Empirical” sensation – perception through the five physical senses
b. “Aesthetic” sensation – perception through the five senses of taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing.
Sensation is an acquired awareness of the external world. The word “sensation” means “perceive (the) quality” or “perceive (the) quality of (a) thing”. Sensation is a form of perception and of knowledge.
II. Intuition
The Cowardly Lion is a character in the fictional Land of Oz created by American author L. Frank Baum. He is depicted as an African lion, but like all animals in Oz, he can speak. Since lions are supposed to be "The Kings of Beasts," the Cowardly Lion believes that his fear makes him inadequate. He does not understand that courage means acting in the face of fear, which he does frequently. Only during the aftermath of the Wizard's gift, when he is under the influence of an unknown liquid substance that the Wizard orders him to drink is he not filled with fear. He argues that the courage from the Wizard is only temporary, although he continues to do brave deeds. The cowardly lion is in fact brave, but he doubts himself.
