My Conscience Is Worth More Than Any Opinion

The years that pass make us mature and we always come to a time when our own conscience awakens, when we rise up against the wind and where we take clear positions.

There is nothing more heartwarming than going to bed with a clear heart and a clear conscience, no matter what the world around you thinks.

Antonio Damasio is a famous neurologist, expert in emotions, who defines consciousness as a subtle harmony between an autobiographical self, a social self and a third that mixes the emotional and the spiritual.

Being fully aware of this unique and particular structure allows us to be more skilled and to be more consistent with our reality.

If you say what you think, do what your heart tells you, and have a clear conscience, don’t doubt it: you are going in the right direction.

We all have a consciousness, which is like the breath of our soul, the beacon of our emotions.

It gives a voice to our emotions so that they can tell us when we are doing something wrong, or on the contrary, when we are doing right.

We have to synchronize with it, we have to open our inner door to be able to act without fear and to make our conscience this quiet refuge which allows us to live in harmony with ourselves.

We invite you to follow the advice we are going to give you.

Awakening your own consciousness is sometimes painful

Carl Gustav Jung often said that “to wake up, you have to look at your interior”. 

Even though the famous psychologist was a key thinker of psychoanalysis, his methodology was intimately linked to anthropology, mythology and philosophy.

His conception of human consciousness still arouses great interest today.

Like neurologist Antonio Damasio, Jung defined consciousness as a psychological entity in which our deepest vital and emotional experiences are integrated.

To awaken it, it is necessary to look at our interior, to be aware of unpleasant elements, mistakes made, values ​​and principles not respected because of certain fears and our indecision.

Because we are subject to external moral consciousnesses, which do not belong to us.

Becoming aware of each of these personal dimensions involves, most of the time, great pain.

According to Gustav Jung, we are capable of anything when it comes to not confronting our own soul and our own conscience.

To reach the light, it is necessary that we are aware of our shadows.

It is only by doing this that we can feel free, that we can connect to ourselves with integrity and satisfaction.

Having a clear conscience: an exercise that comes from the heart

The social and political contexts in which we operate today lack moral conscience.

They should take into account a certain ethics, respect, love for our neighbor. Humanity today is governed by a selfish chimera and by hidden interests.

It is sometimes very difficult to agree with the superstructures around us. It is therefore important to practice an exercise in integrity within ourselves and to encourage future adults to do so as well.

We need to develop strategies to create heart awareness, a quiet, loving and cohesive voice that takes into account respect for others, but also respect for oneself.

Keys to developing a free and respectful conscience

Our personal consciences represent more than the moral teachings of the society that are supposed to build us.

It is not enough to know what is right or wrong, we have to be able to feel it.

For this we need to come out of our lethargy to be more aware of our thoughts and emotions.

We will teach you how to achieve this. For this, we suggest that you think about what differentiates the fact of seeing, looking and contemplating, in order to be able to develop your own consciousness.

• Seeing is the art of letting ourselves be carried away without going deeper into things. Some people spend most of their time seeing the reality around them.
  It is a primitive stage, in which consciousness does not take part, and lets itself be carried by what surrounds it, without offering resistance and without questioning anything.
• The second phase of our inner development is the development of the ability to look.
  This is a stage in which we are more focused. It allows us to decide between what we want to see and what we don’t want to see.
  When we look, we are not indifferent: we feel things, we experience anger, gratitude, pleasure, fear, etc.

• The third step in this awareness is knowing how to contemplate. Socrates said that the highest part of knowledge is that which allows us to contemplate.
  Contemplation is an enriching exercise because we understand what surrounds us starting from our own interior life.
  During this stage, we connect with our inner self, able to judge for itself what is good or bad, which has its own opinion, its own values ​​and its own integrity.

Our consciousnesses must be able to contemplate all that surrounds us thanks to the light of this emotional beacon that comes from our heart.

It is only then that we become able to ignore outside noise and the opinions of others.

A clear conscience is worth all the gold in the world, it is the cozy bed in which we can rest and through which we can live a full life.
