How can you be sure that there is anything going on outside your reality? How could you ever know this? This is an assumption, a false belief. Check it out for yourself.

What is common sense?
Something we all have in common, something to do with sense. Sense is sensing, with the senses like sight, hearing, sense can only happen in the moment. We can not use our senses in the past or future, sense organs are only present now, where i am, where the body is.
The mind has no sense, it is a machine that works out probabilities, possibilities but it does not know of this moment, it works is opposites. The mind can not work with zero, neutral, here or now. The mind can only work in duality and duality is a split, divided and therefore constantly in conflict.

What the mind does can be known, seen, watched. It divides the whole into parts, bits, things, that is its job. It says past and future or good and bad, this is not a problem as long as it is not believed. Assumptions are believed in stuff that aren't true. Past and future are abstractions, make believe, we only ever imagine past and future in the truth of now. Everyone must realize there is only now for us to be at peace with all.
It is the belief in future that makes you believe that you might suffer, if you look for the sufferer you will not find it.
All there is is this moment.
What is wrong with right now, unless you think about it?

When you ask can anybody identify the source, do you mean can i show you this message from other sources?
Or do you mean what is the source of you and this moment?
