Can you hear the voice of conscience?
'...You will know the truth, & the truth will set you free...'
~I expand out
To my Star-Self
Like a wild reed
Brushing the clouds with seeds-
A tender stalk in the rising humidity of humanity.
As light spews
Thru misting vapors
I digest the light - & the fruit of my striving ever ripens…

Like the call of conscience from John the Baptizer, the need arises to let the light of the Higher “I” shine into our being, knowing that the union of Creator & created is affected by how we are in the world - How we think - & feel - & what we do - by our selfless love - & the disharmony from our imperfect deeds.
What is conscience?
What will conscience become?
We can regard it as a seed that will make it possible for us to understand our karmic consequences. This will come as a result of the soul standing in the light of a true spiritual morality – which is not merely a social construct, but a relational measure – morality is having the discernment & integrity to be in right relationship – with self, with others & with the world !
We are being asked to respond to the Summertime call for a yearly ‘Metanoia’ - this Greek word - meta = "beyond" - & nous = "mind"– literally means beyond thinking.
In the Bible, this term is most often used as a call to repent, to atone – a call to conscience – a call to ‘Make straight the paths’, as John the Baptist thunders to us – then & now –
Metanoia is a transformative change of heart & mind, as well as a spiritual conversion. We can take this up by using this time when the in-breath of the harvest season begins, to review our deeds of the past 6 months, (like we do on NYE & in the Holy Nights)
Now as the physical light of the sun decreases - the Spiritual Sun will increase - Thru this, the Universal “I” of humanity is brought to light - & IF we cultivate this gift - it can also allow the rebirth of the individual Higher “I”.
John the Baptizer’s message was also a prophecy for the future - which is now - that the metamorphosis of our conscience, can allow us to see the Cosmic Being of Love, who is now the essence of Earth evolution - as the Second Coming of Christ in the Etheric.
Can we learn, to be still, enough, to hear the voice of conscience?

SAINT JOHN'S TIDE
At the Altar of the Senses
v12
The world’s light-glancing beauty
compels me from the depths of soul
to free the god-enwoven powers of my life
in cosmic flight, forsake myself
and trusting, seek my Self
in cosmic light and warmth.
