In the natural environment, we realize that nature’s energy is operating not on our mechanized time clock but in its own self-regulated operating cycle. The interacting forces of nature’s energy oscillate in predictable cyclical patterns. In this naturally occurring cyclical phenomena, resources like water are recycled to maintain conditions necessary for the existence of life. In a cyclical process of evaporation, water recycles from rain and snow to creeks, lakes, rivers, oceans, and back to rain and snow. These cyclical processes bring seasonal changes to the environment as well. All forms of life on planet earth biologically follow the cyclical patterns of nature. Plants wait for the season of spring to spur their growth. Animals synchronize their lifestyle with changes of seasons.
Conscious and conscience are similar sounding words but have very diƯerent meanings. The buildup of conscience is a progressive process of the mind because its development depends upon the memories of past experiences, current thinking and constantly changing outside influences. Cell biologists have discovered that our cell structure is not only capable of networking with other cells in our body but can sense signals from the outer environment as well. This article explains the crucial role our mind’s conscience plays in aligning our convictions with nature’s energy. In spiritual terms, this conscientious connection is like a soul’s connection with its creator. Tuning our mind’s conscience to nature’s energy is comparable to the tuning of a radio station’s signal frequency to the frequency of a transmission tower. This process of frequency tuning is like nurturing our conscience by immersing ourselves in nature’s energy.
We can nurture our mind’s conscience to align our actions with nature’s gifted instincts. For ages, spiritualists have used the technique of meditation to nurture their conscience. Neuroscientists have evidence of brain scans that prove their eƯectiveness. Mindful meditation is now considered the most eƯective drug free treatment for many mental health related issues. Whether it is depression, PTSD, addiction, or a nervous breakdown, guided meditation helps enhance focus of mind and gives direction to its thought process. This article highlights the synergy in science and spirituality for the use of this technique to sustain an ‘Altruistic’ conscience of natural disposition. With an analogy of a running faucet of freshwater replacing muddy water in a bowl under it, this article explains how the thoughts of a distressed mind can be replaced with thoughts that nurture a conscience of natural harmony.
