the issue is in the phrasing.  common. sense.

 

is your soul common?  and what of your senses?  are they limited to the five you are familiar with?

 

unless you can understand this, you can't understand "common sense"

My soul is indeed common, and my senses must indeed also be common - but your comment does not appear to answer my question on what common sense is, which is my fault, since I did not ask it in this post.

Thus do I ask - what is common sense?

And is your remark on the concept of common sense thus knowledge acquired via experiece - or rather the use of the senses thereof?

knowledge acquired via experience, and the way your senses lead you to accept or reject that knowledge.

 

Common sense is likely the connection most have to the source, the one, the all.  Not all individuals are actually connected to this source (long story), so they would be uncommon factors (rarities).

I see - as I see it - common sense is the ability to use spiritual discernment.

how would you then explain to a blind man, or someone who is deaf, or someone who is both blind and deaf, and still have common sense, common sense?

I agree with your assessment of spiritual discernment being the defining factor.

 

a blind man always has his spirit - the 5 senses are but a glimpse of reailty

Ah.. The common sense! I suppose there is no need for me to comment due to my involvement in the original conversation. But I will gladly show my love by posting one. Common sense is an important key to the knowledge of the universe. If you completely understand the TRUE meaning of common sense, it brings you one step closer to TRUE enlightenment. Zanndo would have a better understanding if you subtract the part about "experience." In the third comment.

So, kogikoro - you consider thus common sense to be using knowledge at the expense of ignorance - and thus that it is not ignorance, but wisdom which is bliss - thus the two of us are in major disagreement with the Matrix movie´s character when he said ´ignorance is bliss´......

ignorance is fearing/ignoring the dark (or vice-versa)

bliss is feeling advance

that is how I think about it all

and so Drome - your concept of common sense is that common sense is action which is devoid of ignorance.........am I right?

and this action will then lead to an understanding and agreement where both parties who are having conversations with each other or participating in some debate or some project - benefit.......am I right on that too?
