What is the relationship between conscience and sensation?

One often hears that one needs to develop a “permanent” sensation.” and as has been explained multiple times, this doesn’t refer to ordinary sensation or the type of sensation that one does exercises with. We won’t go over that again in this particular essay.

The point is that one needs to develop a permanent sensation for a reason. Only once this particular being body and its sensory apparatus are developed can one undertake the payment needed for a permanent conscience. In the end, the development of a permanent conscience is the whole aim of inner enterprise in the first place.

A permanent conscience is just as much an organic tool of one’s third being body as sensation is an organic tool of the second being-body. The development of a permanent conscience represents, in technical and theoretical terms, the emergence of conscience from the subconscious part that it’s submerged in and has been hiding in for most of one’s lifetime.
