Sensational: 

• sensational (adj.): of or relating to sensation; (adv.): sensationally. ~ (American Heritage Dictionary).

• sensational (adj.): of or relating to the faculty of sensation; (philosophy: of or relating to sensationalism (=the doctrine that knowledge cannot go beyond the analysis of experience; also called sensuism); (adv.): sensationally. ~ (Collins English Dictionary).

• sensational (adj.): of or pertaining to the senses or sensation; (adv.): sensationally. [1830-40]. ~ (Webster’s College Dictionary).

• sensational (adj.): relating to or concerned in sensation; [e.g.]: “the sensational cortex”; “sensory organs”; (synonyms): sensorial, sensory (involving or derived from the senses); [e.g.]: “sensorial experience”; “sensory channels”. ~ (Princeton’s WordNet 3.0). 

• sensational (adj.): of or relating to sensation or the senses; (synonyms): sensitive, sensorial, sensory, sensual, sensuous. [French, from Old French, from Medieval Latin sēnsātiō, sēnsātiōn-,from Late Latin sēnsātus, ‘gifted with sense’; from Latin sēnsus, ‘sense’; from past participle of sentīre, ‘to feel’ + -al]. ~ (American Heritage Roget’s Thesaurus).

Sensibilia:

sensibilia (n.): “that which can be sensed” [from Latin, neuter plural of ‌sensibilis‌, ‘sensible’]. ~ (Collins English Dictionary).

Sensibility:

[Dictionary Definition]: ‘sensibility: power of sensation or perception; sensitivity [having the function of sensation or sensory perception] to sensory stimuli’. (Oxford Dictionary).

For example:

• [Richard]: ‘With the end of both ‘I’ and ‘me’, the distance or separation between both ‘I’ and ‘me’ and the sense organs – and thus the external world – disappears. To be living as the senses is to live a clean and clear and pure awareness – apperception – a pure consciousness experience of the world as-it-is. Because there is no ‘I’ as a thinker (a little person inside one’s head) or a ‘me’ as a feeler (a little person in one’s heart) – to have sensations happen to them, one is the sensations. The entire affective faculty vanishes ... blind nature’s software package of instinctual passions is deleted.
Then there is nothing except the series of sensations which happen ... not happening to an ‘I’ or a ‘me’ but just happening ... moment by moment ... one after another. To live life as these sensations, as distinct from having them, engenders the most astonishing sense of freedom and magic. One is living in peace and tranquillity; a meaningful peace and tranquillity. Life is intrinsically purposeful, the reason for existence lies openly all around. It never goes away – nor has it ever been away – it was just that ‘I’/‘me’ was standing in the way of the meaning of life being apparent. Now the universe is experiencing itself in all its magnificence as an apperceptive human being.
Life is not a vale of tears ...’

Sensible:

[Dictionary Definition]: ‘sensible: perceptible by the senses; of or pertaining to the senses or sensation’. (Oxford Dictionary).

Sensual:

sensual (adj.): carnal; lascivious; lacking moral restraints; [e.g.]: “Her sinuous dance was a sensual tour de force”; not to be confused with sensory (adj.): of or relating to the senses, or the power of sensation, and to the processes and structures within an organism which, receiving stimuli from the environment, convey them to the brain; (synonyms): sensible; sentient; sensate. ~ (Online Neoteric Dictionary).

Sensuous; Sensuousness:

[Dictionary Definitions]: ‘sensuous’ (a.): Of, derived from, or affecting the senses aesthetically rather than sensually; readily affected by the senses, keenly responsive to the pleasures of sensation. Also, indicative of a sensuous temperament. Apparently first used by Mr. John Milton, to avoid certain associations of the existing word ‘sensual’. (Oxford Dictionary).

Thus: ‘sensuousness’ (n.): the quality of being sensuous; also: ‘sensuously’ (adv.): the experience of being sensuous; and: ‘sensuosity’ (n.): the capability of being sensuous).

Sentience:

[Dictionary Definition]: ‘sentience: the condition or quality of being sentient [a person or thing capable of perception by the senses; having the power or function of sensation]; consciousness, susceptibility to sensation’ (Oxford Dictionary).

The Third Alternative

(Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body)

Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
