We are all given a conscience to guide us in doing what is right. When we go to do something that is not right, our conscience sends us a warning, a knowing that it is not the right thing to do. We are given the choice whether to give heed to our conscience or not, but if we refuse our conscience, it is wounded and damaged, and then if we persist in going the wrong way, our conscience becomes hardened, numbed. After our conscience has been numbed, we don't notice the messages our conscience would give us to warn us that something is not a good thing for us to do. This is not a good place to be, because the conscience is there for our own good and protection, as well as for the good of others. If we walk without a conscience, only doing as we please, the dangerous path leads to suffering, devastation, and death.
The good news is that it is not too late. Right now, if you listen, you will hear your conscience guiding you, showing you the right way, warning you not to go the wrong way. As you give heed to the very quiet voice, it will grow stronger, it will take up its place again, and you will begin to walk in right paths, where you will find increasing wisdom, truth, and peace. Keep walking in the right and true paths, keep listening for what is right, and you will find those most important things you have been separated from.
Seek, and you shall find.
