Common Sense
does not mean that good sense which is common, or commonly needed
in the ordinary affairs of life, but the sense which is common to all
the five, or the point where the five senses meet, supposed to be the
seat of the soul, where it judges what is presented by the senses, and
decides the mode of action. (See Seven Senses.)
