conscience. Just what is it? when we sleep we, in a way loose conscience. We are no longer aware of the outside world, we enter into a world of sleep and dreams. Can we loose conscience when we are awake? Unless something happens to us medically there is no way of being unconscious while we are awake. So how can we have a defeated conscience? It lies in the study of the mind. When we recognize someone we knew or know, we usually get a trigger feeling or recognition in the brain whether good or bad, depending on our past or present relationship with that person. When the mind has no way of processing good or bad feeling about anything we are living with a defeated conscience. Common sense tells us, we like this thing, or we hate that thing.
Is there a way of training your conscience to like something that you formerly disliked? The answer to that question is that you can train your mind to actually enjoy something that you once thought repulsive, but at what cost are you doing that? I would have to say as an answer that your conscience needs to be reformed before you can tell the real difference between right or wrong. How is our minds reformed? By doing things that promote your own mental health at the expense of pleasing others around you, this may sound selfish but that is precisely the point.
The reason why most of us live with guilt feeling is twofold, one we did something wrong, and two, we feel we were the reason why we were suffering in the first place. We may have caused the initial guilt feeling, but when we go beyond that and try to justify out our value as human being, we deflate our ego and live with a seared conscience.
Religion has tried to solve this problem and so has psychology, but the solution lies within our own deflated ego that God willing needs to be made whole. Conscience is the magnifying glass that corrects our vision of others faults, but most importantly our own miss guided ego. When we are in harmony with our reformed conscience, we will usually be in step with ourselves and other around us. To defeat our ego, we must practice self control.
