CONVERSATION BETWEEN CONSCIENCES

INTRODUCTION

We all know we have a conscience. Our conscience is the awareness, the registering of all we do and are. We may want to deny that kind of awareness by delivering our minds and thoughts to worldly affairs, problems and many kinds of thorns, which might prevent us to be consulted, advised, rebuked or even encouraged and defended by or concerning our consciences.

I don’t believe it is possible to lose the awareness of what we are and do – even if we believe it is. Not even a mind-handicapped person or a demon-possessed loses that kind of awareness. Not even a fool will loose it – if he did, he would not be that foolish anymore.

I believe the books which will be opened when Jesus starts judging people are the sealed and the seared consciences of the very people He judges. I might be wrong, though, but it makes sense that it should be so, since even what we may have forgotten is registered somewhere inside us – or, at least, it conditions and marks our natural behaviour. “And I saw the dead, the small and the great, stand before God. And books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works”, Rev.20:12.

I believe, too, that conscience (for the daily outfit and needs) can and must be sharpened, trained, awakened, enlightened, quickened and made instantaneous in its reactions towards truth or even towards lies. Unless it is so, it will become slack, stigmatized, seared, sleepy and lazy or awakened into aggressiveness due to the bitterness every sinner is ascertained to, through habits of slackness and lacks of feeding care. The truth is that there are ways to sharpen what we are and do. But, we should always call to mind that there are specific ways that work out in a marvellous and spontaneous way whenever we have found the way of how to follow Christ. There is a way to follow Christ in a most natural way and, also, for real. It opens our hearts and minds up in, by, through and for Christ whenever we keep track and walk through the light we have – however little it may be at any point of our lives. Keeping a small ray of light hidden and away from our awareness because we fear the greater darkness of that stage which may still surround us, doing that at the cost of not trusting God and of not walking forward through Christ because we can and must do so, will inevitably confuse the awareness of truth and light within us. It is better to be found stumbling, staggering and walking ahead because we have only a little ray of light, than to be found in anguish and afraid to walk, when Christ comes to demand from us the multiplication of light we were told to accomplish anyhow, anytime and without delay or fear. “Blessed is that servant when his Lord comes, finds him doing…”, Lk.12:43.

Anyway, we cannot but become aware of anything which surrounds us. We act, react and demonstrate through that what we are – and not necessarily what we believe we are. Habits of acting and reacting can be created or one can become resolute and spontaneous enough to live according to the light and the goals it pours within us and puts across to us through God and Light, by means of the ways of the Spirit it being done through God – as it is done in heaven and no other way. If so (or when it is done so), conscience and awareness can become a mighty tool towards real life within and without. Awareness is not force upon our inner being anymore – if it is, it becomes altered, deceiving and deceived. When conscience is clean and spotless, it should be fed and kept awake only – not forced to believe things it already knows. We cannot hinder it to be alive that way, for it is not possible at all. It has means of its own to react, commune and watch over itself and all of that at the same time, and all of those work together just as a mighty army would do with its different cabinets and aspects. God has made it to work that way – none will ever change that. It is always aware of everything that goes on, outside and inside – even when not taking notice of certain aspects of things, it registers. If it does not so, it is not within the realm of awareness. But, when it is, things get registered without a possibility of hindrance. No one can ever avoid conscience to register anything at all. It is unavoidable that it so happens.

There are people (most people in the world) who seem to be always defensive as well, as if there is some kind of continual threat aiming at them. Selfishness does that, since enmity is an imaginary quest for a maybe life. Since these imaginary questions live in the mind of man, his prayers will be accordingly if he prays. Consequently, the answers to such prayers will also be either imaginary or un-existing.

I have someone in my family who believes he needs to steal and to be dishonest all the time because, he says, this kind of world we live in demands that from him. Unless he is better than the world, he will lose for them, he believes. Whenever he goes to work, he is always thinking of how he should talk to someone and how he should try all he can to gain the most. He is always on watch against the threats he imagines to be there. Of course, none can be aware of many things at once and, since he is concentrated upon stealing or not being stolen from, his work does not come out as perfect as it should be. We need our whole heart to do well at something. If it is divided, the success of what we do will also be harmed. “The wicked man flees when no man pursues him”, Prov.28:1. The kind of awareness people have or breed always affects their conduct, actions and reactions. Whatever is allowed to live in the mind determines the way we live and act. Also, if conscience is done harm unto, it will never react the same way towards things as when it remains untouched and pure at whatever cost. Let us never allow realities to be replaced for unrealities.

We find conscience talking all the time. Even when it is at ease because it is spotless and washed, it remains searching for purer light and for stronger, better and peaceful ways and means to remain as it is or even better. It is from here that came the thought into my heart to write some kind of a conversation between a dirty conscience and a clean conscience which cannot deny what they are and know. Eventually, a conversation came out which gives some light to the way, to the efforts each of them fights to remain at peace. Peace within should be a consequence of inner, Godly righteousness and not a forced work. Peace inside a free mind means the conscience is clean. And “peace where there is no peace” means the conscience is seared and also that the mind is not allowed to move or think freely on any issue it remembers. There is this association between bondage and a dirty conscience no one can avoid to exist and, also, there is this complicity between real freedom and a clean conscience.

We know that consciences act and react for many reasons. It can react because of pressure, because of sin, because of cleanness; and it can be selfish, opposing and otherwise; it can be pressured and selfish; or it can pressured and unselfish because people still maintain those old weapons darkness defended itself through; it can be without pressure and selfish or unselfish, too, depending on what people approve. “and know His will and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law”; “Blessed is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves”, Rom.2:18;14:22. Whatever the case is with you, I pray this writing will be a blessing to you, for without God’s blessing it can achieve nothing good.

The conversation will be between DIRTY_C (Dirty Conscience) and CLEAN-C (Clean Conscience).

May God bless you. Amen.
