The Awakening

Common Sense. Common Sense written by Thomas Paine to unite the colonies under one single cause. Freedom. One does not need to read this in order to gain a sense of freedom or ideal when it is already built into the very essence of our souls! Dig deeper! Spiral out.....to move in a circular motion away from a centralized point...knowledge of self Learn to swim or drown, as they say... Dig deeper......THINK! Orwell said it first when deeming the term "groupthink." One. ?? Its not common sense as in the view of what is not taught in schools. Its common sense. What all people have in common and that is the ability to sense. The ability to breathe, to see, to bleed, to think, to learn, to understand, to say, to write, to believe, to create, to feel; to live.....to love! Deep breath.....Pause......exhale!!!! The common aspect that we all have a sense to simply just be. To exist! To think for ourselves and unify as one! One. ?? To unify under a single cause; to be connected as a single one. One. ?? All things are connected as one and therefore unified for a single purpose. Life. We breathe the oxygen given by plants and trees and flowers. Those things, in turn, breathe while converting our exhaled carbon dioxide into oxygen so therefore we trade life. If we did not breathe, our favorite flowers would surely cease to be and in that WE would cease to exist! All life is balance! Common sense. Everything else is simply superficial so therefore this world has lost its way.... We already know oppression so therefore through balance, we know freedom. Its time for a higher consciousness...... So deep breath......Pause.....Exhale! It is THAT simple! In doing so and by letting go, we will be inoculated from the turmoil, hate, pain, fear, injustice, oppression and control that this world continues to use to toxify and poison our minds and our lives! In this we will free our minds, be connected as one, and this world will know true freedom......... To be, or not to be....that my friends, is the question.. It ALL starts with you...... The Age Of Reason is Now Meant...........to be
