Food for thought: Remembering "Conscience"
Living on this earth in 2016 (and especially over the past 10 years) has been a white knuckle ride. When I began to notice this turbulence it was actually too late to turn back but I hadn't realised this yet. Until now...
conscience
[kon-shuh ns]
noun
the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action:
to follow the dictates of conscience.the complex of ethical and moral principles that controls or inhibits the actions or thoughts of an individual.
an inhibiting sense of what is prudent:
I'd eat another piece of pie but my conscience would bother me.conscientiousness.
Obsolete. consciousness; self-knowledge.
Obsolete. strict and reverential observance.
Origin of conscience
1175-1225; Middle English < Anglo-French < Latin conscientia knowledge, awareness, conscience
Now I begin again to search for the pieces that complete this puzzle so that I can then observe it in it's entirety and then decide how to react.
I believe many have been feeling this way to varying degrees and from many perspectives. Are you aware of the undercurrent? the energy changes? the birthing pains? the battle within and around us? Whatever it is called, it is real.
Finding the way is a personal journey that only we can decide upon individually. I think it is important to remember that every choice we are given needs to be guided and decided upon by our conscience.
conscientious
[kon-shee-en-shuh s, kon-see-]
governed by conscience; controlled by or done according to one's inner sense of what is right; principled
Origin of conscientious
1605-15; < Medieval Latin conscientiōsus, equivalent to Latin conscienti (a) conscience + -ōsus -ous conscientious
If we forget that part, we live with consequence and our journey may be more difficult and on a global scale (for example, the big political referendums and elections) the consequences can impact on others today and in the future but living in this time the only choice we really have is if we wish to preserve the conscience or not? or shall be forever "Obsolete"?
Isaiah 30:21 - And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
1 Timothy 4:1-2 - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; KJB
