Conscience: The Science Of Consciousness?
 

In the same vein as the 'Laws Of Metaphysics' thread, I am speculating that CONSCIENCE is in fact the basis for the SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

The word, interestingly enough, has the right formulation. It is a combination of CON (which is probably a derivation of an ancient language meaning awareness) + SCIENCE.

Conscience is definately related to being conscious, and I suspect that conscience dictates the quantity and quality of consciousness. IOW if one does wrong and blemishes the conscience, the quantity and quality of consciousness goes down. Karma is obviously related to this subject, and maybe there is a connection between ones conscience and ones Karma.

I.E. until ones conscience is clear one has a karmic debt?
Is that a meta-physical law?

The whole subject is mind boggling and complicated so I'll leave it at that.

Honza - - you're gonna test my memory of old languages here. This is just a guess - - but I think I have it correctly.

"Con" - - is Latin - - for "with."

"Science" - - means "knowledge / skill / learning." I think it is Latin too - - for something like "scientia" or "sciens" something like that. I took it in high school. That was a goodly number of years ago. "Con" - - I remember. That's easy. :smile: Heck - - the Greeks could have had it before the Latin boys and girls tho. I don't remember how all of that went down.

Consider the word "omniscience" as another use of "science" in another way. As somewhat of a "description" for God. Along with omnipotent and omnipresent.

The practice and use of "science" as it is used today has been a bit adapted - - tho not that much. It too would mean "knowledge of - - " - - whatever it is trying to explain.

But I will step back from getting into "clear conscience / karmic debts" - - and possible metaphysical laws.

Ahhh, Thanks for the clarification. :smile:
