Common sense is the foundation of thinking and of human action. It is the indispensable basis for making our way in the world as individuals and in community with others, and the starting point for finding truth and building scientific knowledge. The philosophy of common-sense realism deeply informed the American Founders’ vision for a self-governing people, in a society where leaders and average citizens share essentially the same understanding of reality—of what simply makes sense. But today our confidence in the value and reliability of common sense has been badly shaken. Deep thinkers have rejected it. Elites have learned to disdain it. We’re told that we have moved into a more sophisticated world, where common sense is passé and the very concept of truth is outmoded. Indeed, the Oxford Dictionaries selected “post-truth” as the Word of the Year for 2016. Do we actually live in a post-truth reality? Have we moved beyond common sense? Can we? In this book, Robert Curry exposes the absurdity of the attacks on common sense, and demonstrates that we still live and move in the realm of common sense in our every waking moment. Drawing from philosophy and literature, science and psychiatry, Reclaiming Common Sense helps us regain our trust in the “superpower” we all have in common, while reminding us that we cannot get along without it.

Using common sense, this book shows how to quickly change direction from our present course of tyranny. By going to the trigger of systemic change we can use common sense to redirect resources to be utilized for the common good. All the pieces are in place it just requires focus on the systemic trigger that changes society's direction. This is a handbook and guide for this road to freedom. Welcome to a book that is a conduit for the strategies, tools and skills needed to separate from tyranny; we provide the details and processes of those that are already recent proven successes. Our tactics are non-violent, decentralized, self-propagating, liberating, inclusive, territory-capturing, adaptive, flexible, minimally confrontational, and uplifting. The process aligns with moral and contractual righteousness, the common good, and common sense.

What Thomas Paine did for the American Revolution with the publication of Common Sense, Marilyn Ferguson does for the transpersonal revolution with the publication of this astonishing call to internal arms. Marilyn Ferguson is one of the preeminent thinkers, gatherers, synthesizers, and interpreters of research on all the cutting-edge fields of human consciousness. The Aquarian Conspiracy, published in 1980, has sold 2.5 million copies and has been continuously in print. The book was hailed as the "handbook of the New Age," by USA Today and is widely regarded as one of the most important books of the twentieth century as the harbinger of a new segment of society stemming from the "vastly enlarged concept of human potential." Before there were Cultural Creatives and Influencers, before there were Spiriteers, before there was What the Bleep Do We Know?!, there were the Aquarian Conspirators, pioneers of social transformation. A quarter of a century later, Ferguson's original charge still resonates regardless of the "name" associated with her audience--they are still philosophically the same as those who came before. In her new book, Aquarius Now, movement pioneer Ferguson reexamines the paradigm shift to a more mindful society and finds us wanting. She sees us caught in a mindless materialism that ironically threatens our material existence. We are seduced by what she calls the Cult of Numbers, obsessed with competition, with winning and losing, afraid of anything that can't be seen or measured, and in the grip of an economic model that says only that which generates economic growth is worth pursuing. What can we do? In the past, Ferguson argues, whenever things weren't going that well for any tribe or society, they literally gathered their belongings and hit the road. But it's too late for that. There's nowhere left to go. Ferguson boldly tells the truth--we have no enemy except ourselves and the mess we've made individually and collectively by refusing to get to know ourselves, to see what we're doing to our own bodies, our own minds, and to society and the Earth itself. We've refused to consider the clues in front of our faces. The imbalance we see outside ourselves only mirrors the imbalance within. The way to heal the imbalance is to heal ourselves. The way to heal ourselves is to pay attention, to witness. And then we need to reclaim our personal sovereignty. We need to take responsibility for our own actions. We need to heed the words of the myriad teachers and skills at our disposal. We need to learn to rely on our own "radical common sense." We need to create the New Age in our hearts and minds and carry it out into the world. o Within that which we have chosen to ignore lie the wisdom, power, and impulse to change. o The task is not to climb a mountain, but to navigate a river. We have to stop thinking of ourselves as conquerors and start thinking of ourselves as fellow travelers' with other human beings and every living being on this planet, including the planet itself. o Heroism is nothing more than becoming our latent larger selves. Ferguson dares to ask the question, "Can we change?" and concludes that we can and we must change. The Age of Aquarius will occur when we want it to occur. In Aquarius Now: Radical Common Sense and Reclaiming Personal Sovereignty, Ferguson gives us a way to say "Yes!" to life itself: o By reclaiming the word "radical" from its current usage meaning extremist and going back to its root meaning "the essence or substance of things." o By returning to the original meaning of common sense, "The consensus of all of one's senses. That power of mind which perceives truth. . . by an instantaneous, instinctive, and irresistible impulse, derived not from education nor from habit, but from nature." In the quarter century since Marilyn Ferguson's Aquarian Conspiracy defined, pulled into focus, then accelerated the transformational shift in consciousness known as the human potential movement, much has changed. Read all about it in Aquarius Now.

The Common Sense Revolution is a call for reclaiming our common sense as a species. This book highlights some of the more relevant issues that face humanity and the book's authors are providing some common sense solutions to these issues, first and foremost being a call to develop a sense of species common sense which has been eroded almost into non-existence. Collectively, we face a multitude of problems and this book is by no means exhaustive in bringing all of them to light, but instead focuses on issues that are prevalent worldwide, most particularly in Western technological societies. Humanity has been systematically divided into so many opposing camps that our very survival as a species is threatened in the midst of a very contrived destruction of our cultures. The destruction of any real common sense based on finding common ground between the Earth's inhabitants poses the greatest threat humanity have ever faced. This book not only focuses on certain problems that face the world as a whole, but also points out who is behind the destruction of world cultures and what their ultimate agenda is. These entities are not all-powerful and the authors feel that a major infusion of common sense to the population at large can offer the solutions to the hidden tyranny that is revealed in this book. You are not powerless and this book provides a way out of the tyrannical quagmire provided people can and will find the self-motivation to turn it all around.

"Bob Cornett, a former state budget director for Kentucky, describes himself as a ¿retired bureaucrat.¿ But as a parent, grandparent, and a person who has been involved in education reform for more than 20 years, he¿s come to understand that, if public education policies are to be corrected, the impetus has to come from the citizenry. In Reclaiming Public Education: Common Sense Approaches, Cornett describes his journey to this realization, formed in part by observing how the small communities in Eastern Kentucky learn and educate. In Linefork, Kentucky, for example, an intergenerational community project aims to restore the American chestnut tree to the surrounding forests and has allowed the older community members to share their cultural legacy with the young people growing up there." -- Kettering Foundation web site

America's extreme Right falsely claims the Founding Fathers as allies for their radical agenda. Pundit Glenn Beck has gone so far as to use the title of Tom Paine’s famous 1776 pamphlet Common Sense for his own book—a book that attacks the political, social and economic rights which Paine and the Founders fought for. It’s time to cut through the rhetoric, smoke, and spin, and get back to our core American values. We have gone off course as a country by emphasizing consumerism over citizenship, entertainment over education, and "me" over "we." By rediscovering the moral compass our Founders put into place, we can create a united America, and a future worthy of our grandchildren.
