There is no question about ordinary men’s physical commonness;
bodily are you born, you live, you die;
all men arising from the same material elements --  all to return thereto;
in the interim; some are tall, some are short; some have heft, some are lean;
some are found attractive, others, not,
but a common corporeal commencement and terminus all men share.
 

So too  --  but not similarly seen  --  do men have a shared mental origin;
the thoughts of their upcoming lives derived from a common pool
same as physically with their genes;
not only is this initial reality beyond grasp of the normally wired & programmed brain, its subsequent playing-out befuddles all who presume a study of man’s inner life,
for standard brains/minds perforce perceive standardly operating brains/minds
to be on-goingly constructed of ideas from individually chosen sources so that
each man’s mind and thoughts are uniquely his own in a way that transcends

But a mind not so confined can see an entirely other picture of mankind’s
mental life (the operational totality of what is normally spoken of as his
inner, his spiritual, his psychological, ego-driven life).
Normal people do not think themselves physically free of the
demonstrative, laws-of-nature, as their minds have defined them:
no sane person thinks that by waving their arms they can leap from a building and fly;
men accept the impassive, immutable features of the physical world in which they are born, but not so the incorporeal world born into them;
verily, the very source of its singular strength comes from its refusal come inability
to so similarly see and accept

A man with the certain view sees a mental commonality to man
as clearly as be the one physically;
everyone has two eyes, a torso, and legs;
everyone has ideas about this, that and the other;
wipe your eyes  --   wipe away your I’s  --
there is no standing outside this universe in which you were born --
not even mentally;
not even the most imaginative mind can picture a universe and reality beyond this one, no more than anyone can sprout a third arm;
you are where you are, and the body silently knows it well;
you are where you are, and thought by normal nature knows it not, nor is it intended to.
Physically everyone is riding a common train; departing from the same location, depositing all at the same destination;
not unlike this (a child-sensitive way of expressing it) is man’s mental time on Earth,
and the routine passengers all around you have no perception of the journey
that even comes close thereto,
and thus, to them  --   this description of their inner life is not true;
they functionally are immune to the reality of the situation, and again,
we are nose-up to the one-of-a-kind talent of human thought:
“I think I am free to think whatever I like  --   ergo, I AM so free.
……If I were not  --  I would not be able to think this, now would I?!”
Case closed, eh what!           For the ordinary --  certainly,
but a man born with a certain looseness in his neural wiring
has the potential of mental perception that totally defies man’s collective norm,
for from his seat on the mortal train he realizes the immobile position of men in their mental seat, and by this, you-wouldn’t-believe-how-rare ability to so see,
he himself has a bit of squirming room in his;
by seeing what is going on, he will not escape death or be able to fly,
