” Conscience is a cognitive process that elicits emotion and rational associations based on an individual’s moral philosophy or value system.” (Wikipedia) “The inner sense of what is right or wrong in one’s conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action. The complex of ethical and moral principles that controls or inhibits the actions or thoughts of an individual.” (Dictionary.com) “Conscience is an internal rational capacity that bears witness to our value system.” (thegospelcoalition.org) “The inner sense of what is right or wrong in one’s conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action.” (thefreedictionary.com) “The part of you that judges how moral our own actions are and makes you feel guilty about bad things that you have done or things you feel responsible for.” (Cambridge Dictionary)
These definitions are not the most authoritative, but they are a place to start in our discussion. The CONSCIENCE is like the rudder of a ship making its way on the high seas. Without a firm grip on the rudder, or if it is broken and useless, the ship’s direction is subject to forces beyond it’s control. The winds, waves, and current will dictate the ship’s course and destination. We chose the picture above because we believe it most accurately represents pieces of the puzzle that both form and direct the CONSCIENCE. There are only four forces we choose to discuss in this reading. Two are external forces, and two are internal. The external forces we will call the “seen force” and the “unseen force”, and the internal forces we will call “knowledge” and “soul”. We hope to better define these in the paragraphs below. Why should we waste a blog on a discussion of the CONSCIENCE? If you read our previous blog about SOCIOPATHS, you will have noted that one of their characteristics is a LACK OF CONSCIENCE. While we did not rank or rate the importance of those characteristics, we do believe many of those characteristics hinge upon the state of one’s CONSCIENCE. Let’s begin by examining those external forces of the “seen” and “unseen”.
We are directed in our own lives to a great degree by what we see, read, or hear. Even touch, like the feel of slimy liver, or the smell of it when being cooked, and the response it engenders, can leave an impression upon us that can influence our future decisions about liver. We may reject a liver meal because of how it feels in the raw form, or because of its smell when cooked, or because someone we know said to avoid it, even though its taste and smell in cooked form can be pleasing. Our experiences through our personal senses leave impressions that can dictate our future actions. Each person usually decides what to see, hear, smell, touch, or taste . . . but not always. There are those powerful elites in this world who can control many of these external forces by restricting what you can read or hear through censorship or by means of the cancel culture. We can usually choose to avoid, or accept, any of these inputs . . . . but not always. These “seen forces”, experienced by our senses, are external forces that assist in forming and directing our CONSCIENCE. There are influences in our lives that are not so easily detected, but can still leave an impression on our CONSCIENCE. These are the “unseen forces”. They can be sensed in subliminal messages, or, through a combination of factors, can make the hair on the back of our necks stand up in fear. The rejection by another, or being forced to feel isolation, are external forces that can leave lasting impressions. These external forces are usually not directly under our control, unless you live under a rock. You can be made to feel shameful by not wearing the mask of conformity, by witnessing the body language of those who see you, who blindly conform to tyrannical mask dictates. Simply knowing you are alone in your expression of liberty, can alter your ability to express your freedoms. Both of the external forces are shown in the puzzle above by the missing pieces outside the figure of the body. They are missing because they can be filled in by factors beyond your total control. These missing pieces have the power to limit your liberty and freedom.
There are two internal forces that influence our CONSCIENCE. We will call them your “knowledge” and your “soul”. Let’s take the easy one first, that is the “knowledge” force on your CONSCIENCE. There are those who believe they know all there is that needs to be known. We have only one thing to say to these people. Your arrogance leads to your ignorance. To reject the search for knowledge, is to be atrophied in your thinking and reasoning center, your brain. To stand fast in your present knowledge base, is to calcify your intellectual center, and make your CONSCIENCE subject to potentially out of date facts, flawed reasoning, and delusional perceptions. This recalcitrance can be either self-inflicted, by personally limiting your exposure to varied facts, or by being fed information by others that only serves to reinforce your current level of awareness. We have found that most national media outlets, and those powerful elites in both government and corporations, have aided in this effort to focus many into narrow paths of information, usually to emphasize the woke agenda and narrative. There is another type of internal force that we want to explore, that being your “soul”. This is the hardest of all forces to define. We will draw your attention to the missing piece of the picture above nearest to the heart. Everyone alive has a functioning heart of some kind. We are not talking about that organ that pumps the blood. We would more broadly define this force as being the center of one’s morality. If you again look at the few definitions of CONSCIENCE listed above, the concept of morality is frequently cited. It is that which allows one to differentiate between those things that are right, and those things that are wrong. Again, we would refer you back to our previous blog on SOCIOPATHS. One of the recurring characteristic themes is their inability to recognize, comply, or apply what is right and what is wrong. It usually devolves into what is best for them, and can help them achieve what they want, regardless of its impact on others, even if it is a lawless or unethical act. What creates this moral center, that has such a profound impact upon ones CONSCIENCE, cannot be narrowed down to a simple list. If is a function of one’s upbringing, training, education, and even brain construction and chemistry. For those who are religious, morality is more easily defined and practiced. For those who are not so religious, morality might be easily defined by them as whatever it takes to get what they consider to be right. To them the concepts of equal justice, liberty and freedom, can be construed as obstacles to overcome or reform, and not concepts to uphold and affirm.
We do believe many in our Nation have a flawed CONSCIENCE. They see and hear only what agrees with them, they are easily manipulated by elites with woke agendas, and they refuse to expand their knowledge to become better informed. Most of all, they have a warped sense of morality, if it even exists at all. Those who treasure freedom and liberty must overcome those who have their CONSCIENCE seared with negative “seen forces” and “unseen forces”, whose “knowledge” is stunted, and whose “soul” is compromised and severed from the best nature of humanity. They cannot be allowed to dictate terms to freedom loving people, to those who treasure our liberties, who will join with those who have sacrificed so much in the many generations before us to establish and maintain this great Nation of ours.
