Spiritual consciousness is the awareness of your spirit and how well you manage it. The way you direct your spirit, where, why, when, and how is determined by your conscience. In short, your conscience governs your spirit1.
Your spirit is your life force: the energy that sustains your body, emotions, and mind. It fuels existence itself, animating all living things. It’s the unseen rhythm behind the rising and setting sun, the pulse of nature, the essence that breathes life into plants, animals, and everything beyond. In spiritual terms, the absence of spirit is the essence of death.
This dynamic presence and absence of spirit mirrors the life-death-life cycle woven into nature. The depth of your awareness of conscience shapes your spiritual consciousness, either enhancing or diminishing it. No one else can regulate your conscience. It is entirely yours to recognise, refine, and follow. It’s your conscience that guides every choice you make.
A well-developed conscience discerns right from wrong, truth from illusion. When you ignore your conscience, that is, when you act against the integrity it calls for, then you tend to experience guilt, not only for the impact on others but for the betrayal of your own soul. The path to remedy is not in evading guilt but in cultivating a higher-quality conscience. The type of conscience that’s more attuned, discerning, and unwavering.
A refined conscience is the cornerstone of spiritual consciousness.
