Our “Golden Core” of Conscience<br />

Acceptance … is em-Powered by Condemnation <br />

Patience … is em-Powered by Attachment <br />

Generosity … is em-Powered by Selfishness <br />

Gratitude … is em-Powered by Envy <br />

Compassion … is em-Powered by Apathy <br />

Honesty … is em-Powered by Deception <br />

Humility … is em-Powered by Arrogance <br />

Wonder … is em-Powered by Familiarity <br />

Faith … is em-Powered by Doubt <br />

Note: Purely actualizing any one of these Virtues automatically actualizes all others in that moment. One<br />

Virtue cannot purely exist without the simultaneous co-existence of the other eight. And when all nine exist,<br />

unconditional Love flourishes. In addition, the “sins” listed need no longer be viewed as “evil” or even “bad”.<br />

Temptations to be selfish lose their power over us the moment we choose to be thank-full for them – by recognizing<br />

that the difficulties they pose make all our subsequent Moral choices power-full … NOTE: We do not “go anywhere”<br />

or “grow” or become permanently “reborn” when we attain Salvation. Salvation is always Here&Now. Likewise,<br />

awakening to our innate connection with God is not “learning” anything new, but rather a remembering of the<br />

relationship of which we have always been aware (albeit on a subconscious level). The seeds of our ego-self (a.k.a. the<br />

“Enemy”) may continue to challenge us, & yet our Soul-Self is immune to this “tarnishing”. These temptations, &<br />

even our subsequent sins, are not “evil” or even “bad”, but are actually the difficulties that enable our Transcendence.<br />

“And if a House is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.” ~ Jesus (Mark 3:25)<br />
