SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.

The mortgage company followed foreclosure rules and a south Minneapolis woman must move out, judge ruled. But GMAC and the homeowner are still negotiating.

A woman who has battled eviction from her south Minneapolis house has seven days to vacate it, a Hennepin County judge ruled Wednesday, while a lawsuit filed by her neighbors and activists against her mortgage company to prevent her ouster has been dismissed.
However, Judge Lloyd Zimmerman's order does not mean the end of Rosemary Williams' legal battle against GMAC Mortgage, after the two sides met behind closed doors to discuss a potential settlement. No agreement was reached Wednesday evening, but talks will continue, said Jordan Kushner, one of Williams' attorneys.
Williams, 60, lost her home in the 3100 block of Clinton Avenue S. at a foreclosure sale in September after she fell behind on payments on a second, adjustable rate mortgage.
After Williams failed to leave the house by March 30, GMAC went to court to have her evicted by sheriff's deputies. Williams' attorneys asked for a trial on the issues. Separately, last month, the Central Area Neighborhood Development Organization (CANDO) and 17 of Williams' neighbors filed a civil lawsuit contending that if Williams was forced to leave, her home would become another nuisance property in the neighborhood.
Williams was scheduled for trial next week in the housing court action, but Zimmerman granted GMAC's request for summary judgment, writing that GMAC acted within the law. He dismissed the lawsuit, saying that because Williams lives at the property, all allegations of nuisances are hypothetical, and that the plaintiffs failed to prove any "wrongful conduct" by GMAC.
"Were the court to create a new legal principle based upon the argument of Ms. Williams and her supporters, no bank or mortgage company would ever lend to people living in economically distressed neighborhoods because financial institutions could not rely on courts to honor contracts freely entered into between consenting adults," Zimmerman wrote.
A call to Williams was not returned. A GMAC representative also could not be reached.
Cheri Honkala, an activist for the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign and a friend of Williams', said neighbors are hoping for a resolution that will allow Williams to remain in her home. If not, they will plan civil disobedience to remain in the home, she said.

Aside from the threat of civil disobedience, everything is within the law. Just like here in St Paul.
