Soul Sustenance

Soul Sustenance & Message for the day 11-01-2016 Posted: 10 Jan 2016 12:30 PM PST -------------------------------------- Soul Sustenance 11-01-2016 -------------------------------------- Am I Creating Negative Karma – Guilt As An Indicator (Part 1) At the heart of our consciousness, we have a conscience. Our conscience is essentially our basic awareness of truth. From a spiritual point of view, the truth of who we are as spiritual beings is core and eternal truth. If we consider ourselves to be anything other than soul or spirit then we will be thinking and acting against our conscience, against our truth, which is like going against the essence of spirit. We will feel something is not quite right. If one of the pistons in our car engine is out of sync with the others, the engine will sound slightly different from normal. We immediately have it fixed, because we know that if it continues it may destroy the engine. If we do something that is out of sync with the truth, the voice of our conscience speaks to us. But we tend to ignore or suppress it, especially if we are having a seemingly pleasurable experience - we then create the sanskars or habit of ignoring our own conscience. As a result we keep repeating the negative karmaand the sanskars of the negative karmaare deepened, further ignoring the voice of our conscience. It is a vicious cycle, to come out of which is extremely difficult. (To be continued tomorrow …)
