Pretend I'm blind and have never seen a color in my life, how would you describe the color blue?
I would describe it as being on the high end of the visible light spectrum. That a clear sky and clear water have that color due to a variety of factors (I don't really feel like going into things like refraction, spectrometry, etc. at the moment). That most people attribute it to cool/cold.
Again, I already said that a blind person wouldn't be able to experience it. But the mechanisms that allow us to perceive color are well understood. I'm still waiting on an explanation of your purported spiritual sense. Even if I'm physically deficient and lack it, you should be able to unambiguously describe how it works like the rest of our senses. Even in broad terms like I've done in my previous post. That is, if it's actually a sense and not just confirmation bias mixed with warm fuzzies due to psychological conditioning stemming from cultural indoctrination or poor analogy....

So, are you going to describe the mechanism? Because I am a curious person, and I want to know how it works.
P.S. Love, like other emotions, is a manifestation of brain activity and chemistry, and not at all unique to humans. And it can be measured, by measuring the changes in said activity/chemistry compared to the norm, as well as adrenaline levels, pulse, breathing, etc. Love itself is a mixture of instinct (immediate family, potential and actual mates), culture (what traits are desirable... chubby/fat used to be attractive because it spoke to one's wealth and opulence), and psychology (compatibility, shared values, etc.). It is not magic. And yes, I have been deeply, madly in love. To the point of willingly self-sacrificing for them. Still not magic.
