The mind is acquired "human nature". The conscience is inherent "spiritual nature".

The world is your oyster. Yes, but in that oyster is the pearl; and to get to the pearl one has to first discard the shell and the flesh.

In the spiritual search doubt is beneficial, a closed mind is not. Doubt used wisely assists enlightenment; a closed mind assists ignorance.

If we cut open the bud of a beautiful rose in order to see how it is 'packed' and what it is going to look like, what sort of a bloom will we get?

As the mind shrinks at the will of the initiate, thought flows in to fill the spaces so created.

The mind is acquired "human nature". The conscience is inherent "spiritual nature".

Mind is the Soul speaking and Conscience is the Spirit speaking.
