Before sight and sound hijacked our attention, we shared with all life a sort of common sense, a chemical sense that depended on direct contact with matter in the water or the air.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation applied to life.
The senses are of the earth, the reason stands apart from them in contemplation.
I give the name of cosmic sense to the more or less confused affinity that binds us psychologically to the All which envelops us. The existence of this feeling is indubitable, and apparently as old as the beginning of thought... The cosmic sense must have been born as soon as man found himself facing the forest, the sea and the stars.
We evolved to move and to learn with all our five senses!
A sense of the universe, a sense of the all, the nostalgia which seizes us when confronted by nature, beauty, music - these seem to be an expectation and awareness of a Great Presence.
Before two human beings come in close physical contact, their auras have mingled; that is the reason why we 'feel the presence of another' at times before we become aware of him by means of our ordinary senses.
Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.
When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.
Common sense is calculation applied to life.
I have no idea how things work in the life beyond what we know with our senses.
