Awakening Conscience

Conscience is where our morals should come from.

Conscience isn’t personal likes and dislikes; that is one-sided judgement. To awaken conscience, we need to know what is good and what is evil. 

Conscience indicates the presence of compassion for those who must endure suffering in the world, until we understand that right conduct culminates in right mindfulness, through right contemplation. The degree of compassion relates directly to the level of our understanding. 

The importance of understanding generosity and patient self-control towards all living beings is awakened by empathy, where the mind withdraws from being judgemental and becomes aware of the process inherent in each individual’s evolutionary path. When meeting anyone, we instinctively know how far we can tread into their territory – that is conscience. Evil is ignoring this process, and trampling over others’ minds.

Evil is rooted in ignorance 
of our true reality of pure consciousness.
