“I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense . . .”- Thomas Paine

It is amazing that common sense is very clear while wisdom is fuzzy. Perhaps when some particular common action is proven wise then it graduates to becoming common sense. All proven human behavior that results in a wise result is common sense. Proven/established wisdom is common sense? Human actions that have again and again proven to be beneficial to mankind are actions that are full of common sense. Wisdom behavior that has proven to be beneficially successful graduates to become common sense.

There is enough known about common sense that we can put together a whole new subject that teaches common sense. Not only can we use common sense consciously in our daily lives we can take our daily lives and even our group lives to the super common sense level. We can even apply common sense to the current economic crisis and use common sense to solve wars and differences between groups.How do we use common sense to solve major complex problems? By reducing the understanding of complex issues into simple understandable terms. Lets take the current economic crisis. How do we explain it: by using the science of common sense.  Instead of explaining the problems of the economic mess in scientific/economic terms lets explain it in everyday life terms. The current economic mess is like a large road. It is crumbling and has a lot of holes. A couple of very large ones and many medium and many, many small ones. Say you do not have enough material to fill up the biggest hole so will you take all your material and keep pouring it down the big hole? What if the hole still cannot be filled even after you have put in all the even borrowed material that you could get? Common sense would dictate that you fix what is fixable and let the big hole be fixed through creative means like building a bridge over the hole. Translating this in economic terms it means that the financial institutions have liabilities of 50+ trillions. What will the 800 million do in this mess? It will still need the banks to find another 49++ trillions.  The Govt.’s bailout has so far reduced the giant problem from 50 to 49! It will only buy some time. However financial institutions are a necessity of life and so the sound ones will survive and prosper. And if some big ones go bankrupt the medium sound ones will become big and will fill the vacuum/need. 

I thought of another common sense solution to the economic mess. President Obama can issue a executive order that all mortgages will have to be on a fixed minimum rate for the time being no matter what the mortgage agreement says. And those that are cheating though complex mortgages, especially preying on the elderly, will have to return the illegal gains retrospectively.

This knol needs your input. We need as many people as possible on this project of developing the science of common sense, on developing a whole new subject on the science of common sense. Complete with a scientific curriculum that contains lessons and exercises.

We will together make the super emotionally healthy standards the new normal; which we will teach through the science of common sense. 

Below this line please write your name and lets start with posting as many definitions of common sense as possible. You can also write any and all wisdom/beneficial behavior that has proven to be successful  which others can adopt and thus bring common sense into their lives.

This pure humanness, this Christ is the real currency of life. An authentic life you can buy only with authentic currency! So if you want true happiness, the real pure pleasures of life you will have to have the currency to buy it with. There are only two realities in this world – Heaven and hell. All other realities are a mixture of the two. And The Christ (Pure knowledge himself) clearly said you cannot buy heaven with the currency of hell. It’s like trying to buy life in the US with a Zimbabwe currency. And this bottom line currency is the real you. Your pure self is the unlimited bank account with which you can buy eternal time, eternal pleasure and an authentic life. Because when you try to buy happiness with a polluted you then the pure happiness is polluted too and you wonder that in spite of all these accomplishment and wealth and accumulated trophies why you cannot be satisfied. Because authentic life satisfactions cannot be bought with a partly fake you.

Both heaven and hell are right here on earth. It is like two different countries, two different markets. Which one will be real for you depends on which currency you have with which to buy life. As the very process of the ‘I’ and the ‘Me’ in you is a creation, a projection of the brain. And the brain can be divided roughly into the following, which means the quality of your ‘youness’ is as follows:

1) Premature brain (-2). This level brain will project a -2 you. So the currency of life that you buy your life with will also be -2.

2) Immature brain (-1). This level brain will project a -1 you. So the currency of life that you buy your life with is also -1.

3) Mature brain (+1). This level brain will project a +1 you. So the currency of life that you buy your life with is also +1.

4) Super mature brain (+2). This level brain will project a +2 you. So the currency of life that you buy your life with is also +2.

So try to understand that all other things being equal it is the same market place of life for all. One comes to the market with a few dollars and those too not real dollars and tries to buy authentic life. Another comes with a weak foreign currency so again has little success buying real life. Still another comes with a lower currency so he has mixed results in the market place of life. Then the ones who come with the true currency get what they want for their real currency of life is the pure you. The real dollar of the heavenly market place of life.

Life has laws. She bends them for no one. So if you want to create and live your true life you will have to develop your brain power to the +2 super mature level.

So what is the secret of living an authentic life? Develop your humanness to its full potential. Become the real you by getting rid of the self image.Have the unlimited currency of heaven and spend it to make your life heaven on earth.

Don’t let your lower brain level self image cloud your power, your strength, your source, your force etc., etc. …Get rid of it!!

Now your life is a masterpiece. Every life is a masterpiece. The question is; are you the top authority on your life.

Because in paintings when some one becomes a great artist then immediately fakes appear. Just like Rolex fakes.

These fakes even other experts can tell. Then there are great master painters who have a soft heart and when a student makes a painting and shows it to the master the master looks at it and to encourage the student the master says, ‘What a masterpiece’ and signs it himself even though it is…
Sometimes the painting can have the original master painter’s signature and even fingerprints of the master yet the painting is not original. So it is up to the authority appraiser to tell whether the painting has really been done by the master painter. It is called the hand of the artist. Only the authority on the master painter can tell whether it is the hand of the master painter that painted the painting.
Now your life is a masterpiece. Every life is a masterpiece. The question is; are you the top authority on your life. Do you really know that your painting of life is being painted by your own hand or is it being painted by your self image. Is your life run by your self image with a few finger prints of yours and you mostly signing your life off? Just as for every master artist there is an authority appraiser there has to be a life appraiser for every individual. And this life appraiser has to be the real person himself.
Not only must you know who you are; you must also know your bottom line. The power, the strength, the source, the force, the foundation, the secret, the truth, the wealth, the reality, the purity, the ecstasy, the beauty, the wonder, the lottery, the prize, the eternal happiness, the richness etc. of life is you! It all depends on the quality of the humanness in you.
How do you know, understand and become your true self, this humanness? The substance, the essence that is you is the end result of a process. This process is called education. This education of life takes place in roughly four stages. The first and second stages, the fetus and early childhood stage develop mostly emotional intelligence education. If this early period emotional intelligence education goes smoothly and is healthy then the humanness in you is well on its way to actualizing itself to its full potential. Chances are that your emotional intelligence education has been healthy except for one factor. Your parents have convinced you that you are the best. As as a result you think of your self as a trophy. So your self image hides your real humanness and controls your life’s agenda. The real you is cloaked in a phony self image.
And remember it is all about self image. And don’t forget what our scriptures say correctly that you are made in Gd’s image. And how does Gd describe himself? He says to Moses, ‘I am who I am.’ So become aware that the real you is made in the same mold, ‘You are who you are’. The real you is he who he is. So when you are what you are not supposed to be then you are not who you are. So when you are your self image then you are not what you are supposed to be.
When you live your life when you are not what you are supposed to be then your life is not what it is supposed to be. Your phony self image provides you with a life where the pleasures are also phony.

It is clear that when it comes to wisdom, religion boldly tells you to follow the ways of the wise. No wonder religion wants you to follow the wise path as law! Because main stream science won’t even define wisdom; and has more or less abandoned the research of wisdom. I think religion is the winner here. Perhaps the Prophets knew that till mankind is able to find out and define wisdom, wisdom ways must be enforced by law! And who can blame religion for this?

As I have said you can have wisdom and become wise through upbringing, through wisdom (brain) education or by grinding down ignorance via experiencing reality/truth over several decades. Or you can learn wisdom behavior and follow the wisdom path. So who can blame religion for making you behave wisely by law! Science and religion; two sides of the same coin or the same coin?

The ultimate goals of science and religion are one and the same: the emancipation of man. They are not only the two sides of the same coin; they are two paths describing the same coin: the ultimate context of human beings in our universe. Religion seeks to teach us the truth and science works to uncover reality. Reality and truth are the same entity. Thus the goals of both are the same. At least as far as the mind sciences are concerned both seek the same goal. Religion seeks to give man wisdom. Science seeks to give man emotional intelligence. At the most developed level of emotional intelligence the brain’s quality is wisdom. So the words may be different but the truth and the reality is the same. Even the paths may be different but the destination is the same; to give man wisdom/emotional intelligence.

Religion says again and again that the word is the bottom line. And the word is what describes the truth. The word is the concept/description of truth. Science says it is the concept/phenomena behind the forces of nature that man must define as close to reality as possible. Which means both are trying to get to the very nature of truth/reality.

In one word religion wants you be good and do good, to know and follow the truth. Science wants nothing but the same. They both want man to actualize his full emotional intelligence/wisdom potential.
