Nicola Staff asked 3 years ago
The conscience is a human term for the widely experienced perception of having some better part of the self sounding an alarm when one is about to make a misstep, commit an act of wrongdoing causing harm to someone. In actuality, this is literally true. There is a higher aspect of the person conveniently called the "higher self" recognized by many spiritual people as an interface with the soul. It is formally within the divine realm but a soul aspect acting as an overseer and source of help and inspiration to do hand-holding during an incarnation. So its sole purpose is to shepherd the individual during their lifetime and be a kind of caring companion. There are many advanced functions carried out by the higher self we will not get into here, but in terms of the conscience, if it is felt viscerally, it is always a message from the higher self because mechanistically it only comes in subliminally and must have an impact on the body to cause some measure of discomfort, and this will be recognized with an inner knowing, often intuitively, "it is time to think twice about one’s next step." It is a quite useful reality check and inner brake that saves many from an impulsive moment who otherwise would commit a thoughtless act and get themselves into trouble or create a situation that cannot be easily reversed. So the conscience is a warning and a divine reminder of one’s duty and obligation as a divine human to be in vibrational alignment with the divine realm, and when not, receive a kind of reminder, a bit of a nudge, and depending on what is happening, if there are grave risks, a quite intense emotional feeling of distress that one will associate consciously with an impending circumstance or decision required and the person will, if things are working properly, take pause and reconsider their plans and this can be a last-minute save, so to speak, to prevent disaster.
