'Ethics' Articles
The branch of philosophy that examines attitudes and codes of conduct for their truthful and useful character. You will have attitudes, preferences, and beliefs about any experience you have in life.
Spiritual practices are observed to reinforce a commitment to a set of attitudes and thereby insure the manifestation of these attitudes in society, or to open the mind to spiritual insight to allow change in attitudes and thus improved spiritual and even physical well being. All spiritual symbolism you see is a symbol of an attitude and can remind you of its use. It’s the value of carrying symbols, at least for those who are ethically focused, otherwise they are just badges of allegiance. Ethics originate from what Taoists call the te. Innate virtue.
“A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.” Albert Camus (French Novelist, Essayist and Playwright, 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature, 1913-1960)
“Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.” Albert Schweitzer (German medical Missionary, Theologian, Musician and Philosopher. 1952 Nobel Peace Prize, 1875-1965)
Ethical Thought
Today we are discussing ethics. The branch of philosophy that examines attitudes and codes of conduct for their truthful and useful character. It differs from moralism in that it does not involve a rigid adherence to a single moral code, nor a rejection of moral critique. An ethical person is someone who lives what has been called the “examined” life, where other systems of moralism have principles restricting or even forbidding much reflection on the truth or worth of their belief. The primary purpose of ethical thought is to examine attitudes for their usefulness and impact on ones environment and… Seek More
Spiritual Ethics
On the subject of spiritual ethics, spiritual practices are observed to reinforce a commitment to a set of attitudes and thereby insure the manifestation of these attitudes in society, or to open the mind to spiritual insight to allow change in attitudes and thus improved spiritual and even physical well being. An example of a change based spiritual practice would be a Shamans vision quest. So ethics are the fundamental pattern behind our life and everything we do? Scary to think many of us don’t consciously know our ethics. Regardless, you will have attitudes, preferences, and beliefs about any experience you… Seek More
Attitude In Magickal Symbolism
Returning to the subject of ethics, would anyone like to offer an attitude and I will relate it to spiritual and magickal symbolism. Anger over loss. Anger over loss is symbolized by the berserker. Some form of the berserker archetype has existed in every world culture. Translated literally it was bear shirt wearer. They were Norse warriors who believed they were empowered by the spirit of the bear in combat. They were known for flying into intense, fearless rages when their allies suffered loss. Some Chinese warriors and samurai were said to become one when they were intensely challenged. They… Seek More
Ethics In Symbolism
All spiritual symbolism you see is a symbol of an attitude and can remind you of its use. It’s the value of carrying symbols, at least for those who are ethically focused, otherwise they are just badges of allegiance and not much else. Many wear a cross while they busily pursue the most greedy of life paths. Many wear peace symbols while they pick a fight with everyone they see over they lack of compassion, challenging them for having a hamburger and nonsense like that. What is the true ethical meaning of the cross? The true ethical meaning of the… Seek More
Intuitive Understanding
Where does the intuitive knowledge come from? I can maybe use the recent findings about my disability. My prefrontal cortex is impaired, not totally broken, but not fully functional. Sort of absorbed by other parts of the brain. In the case of neurotypical people, when you dream your sensory center, your emotional center, and your memory center all turn on and go into hyper drive, but your “reality checking” or thinking center stays turned off. For me, that is to a degree constantly turned off. Now your conscious waking world activity screens and sends messages to these other centers of your… Seek More
