. “might be called 'ordinary horse sense'?”
I feel sure “spiritual knowledge” is very basic to our being. It is ordinary horse sense. Its just that society has evolved in such a way that “ordinary horse sense” has been overlaid with a need to comply to the raining social order. Each generation is systematically groomed to conform and in doing so, we loose sight of our “ordinary horse sense” of spiritual knowledge. I am convinced that if left alone to evolve naturally, most humans would have a much greater spiritual knowledge. This whole enlightenment gig is really just trying to undo the centuries of dogma and conditioning of the masses. In truth ………… spiritual knowledge is more ordinary sense than capitalism, consumerism or religion. We strive to return to our true nature …………………….. break free …….. .
