MIND & CONSCIENCE


My young princess Lingiardi called me yesterday to tell me that she was in a car accident with her mother while driving on a steep road in the mountains behind Santa Barbara where she had gone to pick up flowers and herbs to use in one of her school project.
What put a sharp knife in my heart is when she told me that she wasn’t scared at all because she knows that “my mind is always looking over her” therefore she knows to always be protect by me, her dad.
As soon as I recovered from the shock of my princess telling me of this, I asked to her if she knows what’s the difference between mind and conscience, which explains why I make this post here today (I doubt that this difference is clear to many of my readers too).
In fact I’m in complete agreement (at least once) with my friend Iacopo, or that we all have one conscience – always the same one independent by personality, time and place on earth - that as we die it reunites with the universal (or cumulative) conscience that’s God (eternal omniscient and omnipresent).
What I think important to say here, is that every time I said that I knew something either about to happen in general or about to happen to someone else, it wasn’t because I was told of it from the “afterlife”, it’s always been because I’ve been able - at least since birth - to use maybe one trillionth more of the capacity of my brain to foresee things, read other people’s minds, control my own reality and that of others.
This becomes very clear just looking at my way of working with my successful career in 2 continents with very different languages and cultures, to the point that every company owner or CEO (employer)  still painfully remembers their loss when I “moved on”. Therefore, my sweet princess you can always rely on me to watch over you, even after I’ll be dead, because my soul will forever do the same.
