Hello everyone I was doing some messaging on Facebook and in the middle of the conversation
A single thought took my attention at the time I believed it to be an easy topic, what I learned was its rather intuitive .It is an aptitude, faculty, intuition or judgment of the intellect that distinguishes right from wrong. It also concludes a moral judgment and may derive from values principles and rules. In psychological terms conscience is often described as leading to feelings of remorse when a human commits actions that go against his/her moral values and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when actions conform to such norms. The extent to which conscience informs moral judgment before an action and whether such moral judgments are or should be based in reason has occasioned debate through much of history.
Religious views of conscience usually see it as linked to a morality inherent in all humans, to a beneficent universe and/or to divinity. The diverse ritualistic, mythical, doctrinal, legal, institutional and material features of religion may not necessarily cohere with experiential, emotive, spiritual or contemplative considerations about the origin and operation of conscience. Common secular or scientific views regard the capacity for conscience as probably genetically determined, with its subject probably learned or imprinted (like language) as part of a culture.
So in thought one could conclude that conscience can have a thought to cause feelings that inhibit one from doing what’s considered bad .Commonly used metaphors for conscience include the "voice within" and the "inner light". It is a concept in national and international law, and is increasingly conceived of, as applying to the world as a whole, it has motivated numerous notable acts for the public good and has been the subject of many prominent examples of methods of self-expression
The idea that what one would believe is the sense of right and wrong that governs a person's thoughts and actions further thought has me wonder about the nature of man being in regulation of one's actions in conformity to this sense that it’s to guided universal faculty of moral insight as by inducing a feeling of guilt or anxiety about an unkind action in regard to truth and justice as one sees it in what they believe that’s reasonable and fair. Thou I have researched history and religious beliefs of many cultures I know the actions of so many wrong doing have clouded and even inhibited man’s growth the most important is self-knowledge
In the literary traditions of the Upanishads, Brahma Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, conscience is the label given to attributes composing knowledge about virtues and vices but also good and evil, that a soul acquires from the completion of acts and consequent accretion of karma over many lifetimes. According to Adi Shankar a in his Vivekachudamani morally right action as humbly and compassionately performing the primary duty of good to others without expectation of material or spiritual reward, helps "purify the heart" and provide mental tranquility but it alone does not give us "direct perception of the Reality". This knowledge requires discrimination between the eternal and non-eternal and eventually a realization in contemplation that the true self merges in a universe of pure consciousness.
In the Zoroastrian faith, after death a soul must face judgment at the Bridge of the Separator; there, evil people are tormented by prior denial of their own higher nature, or conscience, and "to all time will they be guests for the House of the Lie." The Chinese concept of Ren, indicates that conscience, along with social etiquette and correct relationships, assist humans to follow The Way (Tao) a mode of life reflecting the implicit human capacity for goodness and harmony.
Conscience also features prominently in Buddhism. In the Pali scriptures, for example, Buddha links the positive aspect of conscience to a pure heart and a calm, well-directed mind: "when the mind is face to face with the Truth, a self-luminous spark of thought is revealed at the inner core of ourselves and, by analogy, all reality." The Buddha also associated conscience with compassion for those who must endure cravings and suffering in the world until right conduct culminates in right mindfulness and right contemplation. Santideva (685–763 CE) wrote in the Bodhicaryavatara (which he composed and delivered in the great northern Indian Buddhist university of Nalanda) of the spiritual importance of perfecting virtues such as generosity, forbearance and training the awareness to be like a "block of wood" when attracted by vices such as pride or lust; so one can continue advancing towards right understanding in meditative absorption Conscience thus manifests in Buddhism as unselfish love for all living beings which gradually intensifies and awakens the mind to a purer awareness.
The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote in his Meditations that conscience was the human capacity to live by rational principles that were congruent with the true, tranquil and harmonious nature of our mind and thereby that of the Universe: "To move from one unselfish action to another with God in mind. Only there, delight and stillness...the only rewards of our existence here are an unstained character and unselfish acts."
I could go on to other examples, all the ideas are complacent that with knowledge is truth the more mankind learns the more conscience he gains allowing better choices for moral actions there are still uneducated ways others think allowing there inability to either understand or there unwilling ability to see the truth or place proper judgment and act accordingly, Yet others believe that it’s a part of man’s soul and Gods tool to control human kind. I don’t believe that for a second our omnipotent leader has no reason to involve or control us lowly life forms .After further study I realized that it would seem that other life forms also show signs of conscience
So one would understand that to know oneself is to be aware of oneself in saying that truth must lead our conscience and must be dictated by our education and emotions.
"Nothing is more important than our word, it truly is our only value"
Often around this time of year everyone is busy and running about with all the commercial implications of keeping up with others anticipations of the holiday, I find myself wondering about the truth to one’s own opinion, is it that I am being an obstructionist or a pragmatist? I guess I am not Shure. I do remember when raising my kids I thought of the wonder and the beauty of it , but truth be told, after all, this time of year is just boring for me, all the work; just to please others and no real enthusiasm what so ever to comply with the beliefs and others expectations of what I should be doing. I think if my truth is for me , then I would prefer too to be left out of their ideas and what others expect me to do . As I often do I research many things, I found the idea of Christmas falsely understood Christians belief is it’s Jesus’ birthday to be celebrated, before the 18th century the pagan religion was the only one that celebrated Christmas as the winter solstice so to question the real truth is Christmas Jesus’ birth or is it a celebration of the winter solstice. If Christian’s belief is right why nearly 1800 years was ignored? well I think it’s an excuse by others too have a reason to celebrate with no real reason and as far as the commercial implications it’s so the wealthy can extract more money from the poor and middle class. To buy their way too fortune it’s a plus for them, the poor and alone people kill themselves and those with family’s over spend they get population control and the republicans get there profits, So in the long run the poor and middle class are manipulated in suppressing themselves because they make believe there smatter than others and vote them into office all the while republican pass bill after bill in many states to oppress the people,
