Underlying beliefs.
Man's belief in separation (we think we are separate from the whole) causes all our pain and suffering. When we let go of our beliefs (that’s be-ing a lie and then acting as if its real) for even a few seconds...
an awareness of Presence, can be felt... that is Underlying
(that’s under the lie ing) of what, simply is. It's what we have in common, a.k.a. our common sense. We were born with it.
It never occurred to us, or at least to me, to consider that common sense is what's missing, and yet the crazier life gets, the more we begin to look for it. Only when the mind is faced with its limitations, do we look for our common sense. It is in the midst of chaos that we become desperate (de-separate) enough to re-member who we truly are, individual aspects of the One loving Presence, all there is.
Imagine, if you will... a world where we lived from our common sense!
Our common sense, aka: (God, Creation, whatever you know it to Be) would inspire our mind with ideas, always considering the good of the whole because it sees no separation. What kind of a world might that be? A world where decisions are based on all parts of the whole, no better than, no less than, just equal parts of one whole?
That is what common sense is, and in you heart you already know this!
Of course, our twisted thinking and self-centeredness cannot be set in reverse all at once, but we can pause throughout our day and ask Life, God, Mohammad, or whatever you Know it to be…
“How can I best co-operate today”,
and make a beginning, one day at a time.
