We all have the ability to choose to focus our conscious awareness in order to search for truth and reality. On the other hand, we also have the free-will to drop to a lower level of consciousness to avoid and shut off the truth. “In a situation in which our emotional feelings are overwhelmingly painful or unpleasant, we have the capacity to anesthetize ourselves.”[1] And even though most people would find it almost impossible to shut off their conscious awareness of the deterrents to criminal behavior, the avoidance of consciousness can be seen in many irresponsible behaviors.
