Conscience: The Inner Voice of the Higher Self

The United Nations has designated 5 April as the International Day of Conscience.

The first celebration is this year 2020.  An awakened conscience is essential to meeting the challenges which face humanity today as we move into the World Society.

The great challenge which humanity faces today is to leave behind the culture of violence in which we find ourselves and move rapidly to a culture of peace and solidarity.  We can achieve this historic task by casting aside our ancient national, ethnic, and social prejudices and begin to think and act as responsible Citizens of the World.

The useful press kit prepared by the U.N. information section for the 5 April International Day of Conscience highlights earlier UNESCO and then U.N. General Assembly efforts for the Decade of the Culture of Peace and Non-Violence.  A culture of peace gives the broad social framework in which the conscience of each individual can be a guide.

An awakened conscience makes us sensitive to hearing the inner voice that warns and encourages.  We have a conscience so that we may not let ourselves be lulled to sleep by the social environment in which we find ourselves but will remain alert to truth, justice, and reason.  As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says in Article 1:

“All human beings are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”

There is a need to build networks and bridges among Companions of Conscience.  As the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran wrote,

“I believe that there are groups of people and individuals the world over who are kin, regardless of race.  They are in the same realm of awareness.  This is kinship, only this.”

Companions of Conscience create a ground for common discourse and thus a ground for common, life-affirming action.  The circle of Companions of Conscience is growing worldwide, and Conscience-based actions are increasingly felt.
