@lukeburgis That would depend, in part, on one's definition of conscience. Relevantly here, though the terminology naturally differs, authentic wisdom currents are strikingly in accord in describing the phenomenon of 'conscience' as a suprapersonal, suprahistorical power and intelligence.
@jamesrwoodtheo1 Noted just now, from a modern Universal Sufi master: "The true conscience, the heart’s intuitive knowledge, is mindful of the balance between the "ten thousand things” of the Tricosm. It has the prescience to vividly foresee the downstream impacts of every course of action."

Copy of tweet here: end/ Deep down, consciousness is one. 'Intuition' is our name for an individualized expression of collective intelligence arising dynamically in the locus of personal awareness. This, then, is the holy, open secret of quietening down. Intuition appears when thinking disappears.
