What I hadn't considered is that our Conscience is created, that we don't come with a natural conscience; it is built into us.
I looked up the definition of Conscience and one that struck me was, " the nontechnical term for the moral faculty of the mind, corresponding roughly to the superego.
Who knew that the conscience was in your mind. I somehow believed the conscience was nestled up with my heart…and was the soul talking.
Religion often references a 'guilty conscience'…and somehow we don't dissect it to find out what is guilty and why.
As I have become more and more spiritual, I have felt much less guilt.
Removing my conscience has been a long process, for so much of my sense of self was caught up in it. I acted in accordance to my conscience out of fear of reprisals. I didn't act out of love…but dodged punishment.
The life lived by swerving punishment is not a life well lived. It is survival and being an endless victim under the power of authority of your conscience. You are not free.
In order to remember how to spell Conscience. I had to break it down to Con Science. It is to con science, to fake it out…to rob our natural state of being.
My experience of my conscience was to live under the rule of a mental mind…I called her my mental lady.
While under her rule and total manipulations, I didn't realize I was totally off base from my natural state of being…I lived in blind faith and was guided like the blind, with her leading the way…a superego.
She would talk me through my life, telling me what I must and must not do…and what punishment awaited me if I dared go astray.
While under the influence of a superego you pretty much are a prisoner of it…you are kept in line by fear and guilt.
The collapse of my superego left me standing in my life aghast at how little of my life I was free in…or how little of me there was in my life. I was pure conscience.
Pure conscience is to live without a soul, spirit or Self…to be totally under the spell of a mental mind.
To me, being part of a strict religious group, like the FALC, is to join with like minds. To construct consciences of similar values and morals. But the contents have nothing to do with your soul…and everything to do with the mind.
Imagine religions build consciences…and call it the way to Heaven.
It is the perfect recipe for hell.
Without a conscience you are in heaven…a free Spirit.
