WIRED FOR A CONSCIENCE

By -
Everyone has a conscience and when we violate the pre programmed code...our inner peace is compromised. It's that simple. Nothing seems to go right because nothing inside feels right.
We are wired for serenity--the deep soul inspiring serenity that says we are simply spectacular and nothing can get in our way.
It's critical that we get that...that we stay in tune with our inner workings, so that our wires don't get crossed...and so that we don't short circuit the heavenly handiwork that has been uniquely designed for us.

In fact it doesn't matter if you believe in God -there is an internal knowing, an internal urging that tells you something you've done, or something you're engaged in-- is fundamentally wrong... is out of whack with what you were set up to be, with how you were wried to behave.

I speak from experience...unfortunately-lots and lots of experiences...but looking back...I can clearly see the imprint of doubt and worry and fear that urged me to understand that my code of conduct fell short of the expectations of my pre wired conscience. Nothing short of admitting my failings or stopping my slippery slide--could clear my mind and my cluttered head. The only cure was the cold, calculating truth...that I had willingly ignored that gentle, inaudible feeling, that silent voice within--that prods us to see the light...to feel the truth ...to say yes to the roadmap within.

A woman tonite said she failed her conscience...and it didn't feel good. Sober two years-she drank, against her good judgement...because she was mad...The Hurricane was coming...she was going---to evacuate again...against her will...and that was enough to say--down the hatches! She immediately knew she had gone against the grain...of good judgement...common sense and yes-she had gone against her conscience. It took a week--but she set things straight...steered herself back on course...and set herself up for success by listening to the gentle voice within...that guides us through the storms of life...so that we do not drown out ---the glow of reason that really makes our lives serene.

You see-our serenity is induced by a clear conscience...and our conscience can be cleared up rather easily, by just saying no---to the voice of distraction that tries to derail our clarity and clutter our conscience. Everyone of us is pre programmed...and pre destined--for peaceful clarity. A friend of mine says it best, "The softest pillow you will ever lay your head upon, is a clear conscience."

I love the quote of your friend - 'the softest pillow you will ever lay your head on is a clear conscience'. I found your post really valuable for me personally but I couldnt help but think about a past situation I was in and knowing the damage it caused beause I held the belief that everyone had a consiceince and would feel guilt for doing wrong. That is ok for a large percentage of the population who have consciences but to believe everyone has a conscience is certainly not the case.

Unfortunately there are people out there who are not wired in the same way and do not have consciences. I had a belief that essentially everyone had good in them, had a conscience and, although made mistakes essentially knew the difference between right or wrong. Its not the case. I met a psychopath who looked like Mr Successful and was highly funtioning. My whole family thought he was a decent man of integrity. I learnt the hard way. The reason why I stayed with him for as long as I did was because I thought eventually he would see what he was doing and his conscience would get to him. Well it got dramatically worse. I wish I had realised that not everyone has a conscience. Many people today have Narcissistic Personality Disorder or sociopathic tendencies. In fact we are breeding more and more children who are either overindulged or abused which often results in these disorders. These people feel no guilt whatsoever and have no idea the damage they cause and nor do they care. It's very sad and I wish the public knew more this problem. While I could not write my personal experience here for fear someone would think I was 'a nutter', they have no such thing as a morality chip in any shape or form.

SUBLIME AUDACITY!

By -

I have all the signs and symptoms of something I just learned about today...Sublime Audacity. That's right...I have the audacity to believe-that anything is possible-anything at all-with God. In fact, I believe that there is one cure for all the world's ills...and that cure rests with -and in God. In a world of material wealth, individual desires and carefully orchestrated managed care...When people search the world over for the answers that never come, the healings that rarely happen and the hope that always gets dashed by the next person...I believe that there is only one steady stream of consciousness that always gets it right...and that is God. I've personally experienced it time and again and every time I look elsewhere or seek some other solution, I always come crawling back to the staying power of my higher power...Because let's face it...Once we have the audacity to tell anyone-anyone at all that God is responsible for all the good in our lives or the Love that

OUR LADY OF JOY, HANCEVILLE ALABAMA

High atop a hill in Hanceville Alabama, broken hearts are being healed and hope is being restored. Our Lady of Joyful Hope is a community of young men who are finding new freedom through a life of authentic truth. Once lost in the darkness of addiction they are now living in the light of Christ who is transforming them from the inside out...And their families, if they are open and willing, are being transformed right alongside them. Recently, I spent three days with this community, listening to the young men, their parents and to the foundress, Mother Elvira, who flew in from Italy for the anointing of the new community house and the celebration that followed. Mother Elvira's life story is on par with Mother Teresa. She is an Italian nun who heard the call from God to snatch souls from Satan by delivering young men and women from the demonic grip of addiction. She gave up everything familiar, walked straight into the wilderness and wound up becoming a living legacy for desperate fa

HRUSHIV UKRAINE: APPARITIONS OF THE BLESSED MOTHER

By -

Twenty four years ago today, April 27, 1987 the Blessed Mother allegedly appeared in Hrushiv Ukraine with a warning and words of consolation. She came on the Feast of the Ascension, exactly one year after the nuclear reactor disaster at Chernobyl saying "Do not forget those who have died...Chernobyl is a reminder and a sign for the whole world." In 1990 while producing a television documentary in Ukraine, I visited Hrushi and interviewed a handful of people who had witnessed the apparition above the church of the Holy Trinity. In all, some five hundred thousand witnesses claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary over a four month period. Mary apparently told them she came to thank the Ukrainian people because they had suffered so much at the hands of a raging lion who had been prowling around seeking whom he could devour. She said their suffering would come to an end and one day Ukraine would become an independent state. She then urged disciplined, Christian fortitude, "
