May 07, 2005: uncommon sense It is an uncommon sense but everyone has it; for some it sleeps beneath the surface of consciousness dormant and waiting to awaken; others aware have yet to develop it. For some it has become routine, but everyone has it. It makes education irrelevant and information unnecessary; it allows one to see the end of the matter immediately without need of understanding the how or the why. It leaves one knowing only that this is the way it is. It is an uncommon sense that allows one?s heart to identify the primary cause of any effect measured by the eyes. It is an uncommon sense and with it come glimpses of the other world?where locality is relative to awareness. Uncommon sense permits sight of things intended to be hidden: motivations and stories well or horribly written; indeed, all things concealed are revealed to one with this uncommon sense. Children have it perfectly developed, before we force them to forget this gift of discernment; before we teach them to pretend its presence is imaginary and only things we can see with our eyes are real. It is an uncommon sense typical to animals, whose senses are multiplied by factors of purpose; sometimes, I feel they are more attuned than us. It is an uncommon sense, an awareness rising in each and every mind, collectively forming a new breed of travelers on the frontier of Spirit, and as the critical mass draws nearer and nearer to outnumbering those unaware, the world in one day will just up and decide to change itself.
