We should not confuse and confound the mission and influence of the Adjuster with what is commonly called conscience. Conscience, rightly, admonishes you to do right; but the Adjuster, in addition, endeavors to tell you what truly is right; that is, when and as you are able to perceive the Monitor’s leading. [1]
It is hazardous to attempt the differentiation of the Adjusters’ concept registry from the more or less continuous and conscious reception of the dictations of mortal conscience. [2]
Growth is predicated on the discovery of selfhood accompanied by self-criticism—conscience, for conscience is really the criticism of oneself by one’s own value-habits, personal ideals. [3]
Conscience is a human and purely psychic reaction. It is not to be despised, but it is hardly the voice of God to the soul, which indeed the Adjuster’s would be if such a voice could be heard. [4] If we confess your sins, they are forgiven; therefore we must maintain a conscience void of offense. [5] A misguided conscience can become responsible for much conflict, worry, sorrow, and no end of human unhappiness. [6] Jesus knew how human beings are swayed by the preacher’s eloquence, and how the conscience responds to emotional appeal. [7] Salem teachers proclaimed conscience as the mandate of God, the voice of Deity. [8]
