Conscience or Consciousness?

Our conscience plays the role of moral arbiter in our lives. It represents what we think about ourselves, others and what we are experiencing in our lives. Yet it has been developed predominantly through the input of other people and organisations. It stems from the past and spreads into tomorrow and expresses individuality and division.

Consciousness on the other hand is simply a state of observing without classifying what is being observed. It is the pure state of awareness that occurs outside of thinking. It exists only in the present moment and is the true expression of Oneness and unity.

Whenever we are fully conscious there is no conscience. Everything  just is.

Our conscience is the cause of much suffering. We judge, blame and are intolerant of anything or anybody who disagrees with us. When  we are fully conscious of ourselves and what is happening to us there can be only acceptance and compassion.
