The defeated Conscience.

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.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
