There are three things of which every man consists, and which follow in an orderly connection,the soul, the mind, and the body: his inmost is the soul, his middle is the mind, and his ultimate is the body.

But the ultimate of all sane European policy, as distinguished from oligarchic and dynastic foolery, is the establishment of the natural map of Europe.

The thing that you describe as 'yourself' is much more ultimate than conscience, because if it is not convinced that conscience is to be obeyed, it will not obey.
