People as they are Consciously vs. As they are Unconsciously

[9th]

Sorry I just dont agree with that. Yes there is free floating anxiety, and yes there is insanity, and yes there are drug induced and hormonally mediated emotional swings.. but anxiety has cause the target of the moment is the variable... , the insane have a rationale all their own though sometimes disjointed.., and drugs or hormones have physical associations which are independent of the origin of conscience (since not everyone who has a conscience is on drugs nor are they all hormonally unbalanced. If merely some verbal reference to a situation can prick a conscience, then it is a result of a mental association with the subject that prompts the reaction. One may be informed of their conscience by its "feeling" but the prompt still relies on associations with personal and social rules.

 

Well you are disagreeing with something I havent said - these considerations are your own invention. Im not sure what anxiety, insanity and mood swings have to do with all of this, either.

 

Personal and social rules do not determine how painful it is to stab yourself with a needle. Rather it is a direct sensation afforded by your nervous system. Conscience is exactly the same.

 

In every action you make, every situation you find yourself in, there are feelings that relate to it. The insistence on having a fixed identity of a certain kind necessarily blocks out some feelings, while magnifying others. This is antithetical to conscience, which is faculty that allows all feelings to occur - pain, pleasure, pride, shame, joy, sadness, love, hate, etc. - all of it, and most certainly that which cannot be named or described. It is based on bodily awareness.

 

The natural order is infinitely more comprehensive and complete than the so-called "orderly" thoughts of human beings. Alignment to the way is accomplished through such physical reality, not through the fictional constructs of human ideologies which are directly derived from ignoring it.

You may be right about me not really responding to that which you are trying to say. So I googled the word conscience. Im thinking that it may be the use of this term which is discordant ..as the normal usage doesnt encompass all you appear to mean.Rephrased I might understand more clearly your meaning.
