What is Conscience?
It’s our innate, essential inner nature: instinctive, intuitive, spontaneous, untaught, silent, inner awareness, before anything is acquired. Conscience knows right from wrong.
We know but we ignore.
Why do we ignore?
Because a belief in our acquisitions
is stronger than resting within our true nature.
And so, awareness has moved away from its source.
How do we get back?
By being aware of the acquisitions that cloud our view.
We just don’t want to let go.
This actually comes down to the company we keep.
and conscience knows why.
We know but we ignore.
And that is why we’re in constant conflict.
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. We are all Buddhas in the mud of concepts. 
It’s our innate, essential inner nature: instinctive, intuitive, spontaneous, untaught, silent, inner awareness, before anything is acquired. Conscience knows right from wrong.
We know but we ignore.

Yes,yes,yes,and yes….
And when we ignore… conscience then puts that uneasy feeling into the solar plexus as a alarm !
