1) Learn to distinguish between the two voices. Your
False Self tries to gain advantages over others and control them. Its
motivation to act is based on fear, suspicion, revenge, anger, and
hostility. It believes that the world does not provide enough to go
around and you have to take your share before someone else beats you to
it. It lives in a world of distrust, worry, and anxiety. It is negative
in outlook. On the other hand, the promptings of your conscience are
based on trust, compassion, unconditional acceptance, understanding, and
kindness. It seeks harmonious relationships in which both sides win. In
a word, one voice makes you better, the other bitter.
2) Learn to hear your conscience. To bypass the chatter of negative thoughts, raging emotions, and tempestuous temptations, you will need to spend some quiet time with yourself. Your conscience is your best friend. Relax in a comfortable chair, without distraction, and give it the opportunity to speak to you. With patience and practice, your conscience will always be at your side, available for guidance.
3) Learn to think before you act. Instead of acting in the heat of the moment, pause; think things over, and act rationally and morally rather than emotionally. Faced with a choice, choose to do the right thing, to be responsible. Develop sensitivity with constant awareness and practice. A highly refined conscience reacts to wrongdoing as quickly as an eyelid reacts to dust.
4) Act quickly. The first twinges of conscience are a warning, but those that follow will lead to feelings of guilt, unless acted upon. Listen to your conscience and it will be your friend. Ignore it and it will be your judge.
5) Remember that the voice of conscience is not a suggestion, but an obligation.
6Judge your progress by your actions, not your good intentions.
7) Follow your conscience religiously. The more you do so, the better acquainted you will become with the most wonderful being in the world, your True Self.
