What is Cosmic Conscience?
The Cosmic Detective
as an awake and alert cosmically consciously aware Homo sapien/human, I
agree with the following, general definition from Andrew Cohen:
"Cosmic Conscience
As we reach for higher and higher levels of human potential, a
completely new kind of moral development enters into the picture, which
is what I call "cosmic conscience." Cosmic conscience is what emerges
when the individual awakens to the evolutionary impulse or Authentic
Self, and begins to see his or her own capacity for self-awareness as
part of a fourteen-billion- year process of development. When you
contemplate this nothing-less- than-cosmic context for your very own
life, and begin to understand that your own experience of awareness is
literally the cutting edge of that vast unfolding process, you realize
that the continuation of that process is now completely dependent upon
your own willingness to consciously create the future. Awakening to
this overwhelming fact puts more pressure on the individual self-sense
than anything else ever could. In the face of this ultimate
responsibility, either you're going to go crazy or you will very
quickly become profoundly sane-because you have no choice, because
it's your obligation to do so, because the future is totally dependent
upon you. That is cosmic conscience: the realization that "It's up to
me."
The degree to which you awaken to this cosmic conscience is the degree
to which you will actually find the wherewithal to handle your own
personal experience, however overwhelming it may be, because you
realize that who you really are and what you're here for is far greater
than any of your personal concerns. That alone is what makes it
possible to abandon all unwholesome expressions of self and embrace the
ultimately empowering and ennobling qualities of natural dignity,
humility, and self-respect that this cosmic conscience potentially
engenders in the human heart and soul." - www.andrewcohen.org
Of course a complete and comprehensive definition covers pages to
volumes. Each of us has to start (or continue) and proceed from where
we are NOW. I KNOW that no one can 'do it' for any one else, only
assist and support, as we so choose. And, "It don't mean a thing, if a
ain't got that swing." for beneficial practical application, here NOW.
What do YOU Think?
Up and on,
