Common Sense?

May 03, 2009

Recently I watched a video clip, sent to me from a friend, that showed the work of an animal communicator, from New Zealand, that works with horses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUz6Bw-6B8E. In the video an "over-qualified vet" corroborates the findings of the animal communicator, herself using methods of examination not often embraced by traditionally trained vets. As she palpated the horses acupuncture points, she watched for a shift in the horses body language. Her exam verified that the horse was indeed struggling with pain is places where the animal communicator had determined through his own method of communication.

I was fascinated by how skeptical the 'over-qualified vet' seemed to be, and how remarkably it demonstrated how, as humans, we often educate ourselves completely away from being connected to our common sense. It made me wonder just what is this stuff we call common sense?

In my many years of interviewing many authors/experts/visionaries on the radio, I have witnessed that, regardless of varying topics or points of interest, all revelations seem to boil down to the same common piece. It's as though everything we 'are' and everything we 'do' is created from the same core ingredients.

I believe that very often, as we journey in our own lives, we loose sight of the common elements that bind us together. If we are fortunate enough to remain connected to our 'senses', we demonstrate well rounded, holistic characteristics in our lives. When we recognize and 'use' our common sense, we seem to operate at higher levels of intuition and manifest outcomes that seem to unite us, organically to everything that is.
And while I do not completely understand it, I believe that people such as Bill Northern, who has the ability to communicate with animals, have returned to a natural state of being at one with their common sense, which in the end allows them to live their life in ways that may seem extraordinary to people like you and me. Perhaps the 'over-qualified vet' would do well to get out of her 'head' and pay more attention to her common sense?
