The natural world is what we perceive with our senses.

Oh, then radio waves must be "unnatural" or even "supernatural?" Try again.

The supernatural world is what we perceive with the senses we don’t have names for

So, God is not a name? Spirit is not a name? You wish to reconsider?

OK, I'll try this again, slowly and with greater verbosity.

"Oh, then radio waves must be "unnatural" or even "supernatural?" Try again."

Radio waves can be perceived in several ways, using the senses. They can be sensed by their effect on a RADAR screen, through our eyes. They can be heard with our ears when they stimulate a radio receiver. They can be felt as heat, as they cause molecules to move faster and faster. They can have really yummy results when used in a microwave oven.

"So, God is not a name? Spirit is not a name? You wish to reconsider?"

Look at my original statement:

"The supernatural world is what we perceive with the senses we don’t have names for."

In this statement, the words "...we don't have names for." is a modifier of the noun "senses", which is the object of the verb "perceive."

I am asserting that we have unnamed senses, beyond the accepted five, which perceive things that we name, like "God" and "Spirit" - not that we perceive unnamed things.

I apologize if my rather terse style (which I prefer to think of as "pithy") confused you.
