Ethic seems, or probably is, the mother of Abel and Cain - punishment and reward. All sorts of evil tendencies have been increasing; as much as humans are being forced to be ethical, they are forced to do evil. Just like the example of John; “John clean your room and sweep the surroundings! No sweeping equals no lunch!” He did not learn why he must follow the rules of his parents, and instead of following them, he started to oppose them. He grew up so wild - more dangerous than a lion.
John was so ethical that he could kill his own family, growing up to live with his dolls as a shelter of his happiness and joy, since no human was his intimate friend. What did he do? He created a sex machine to suit his pleasure. He enjoys making love with it. The love taught by ethics; the love supposedly from one’s parents. John felt unsafe having his dolls with him, taking a gun, a knife, or a pistol to make sure he could deal nicely with h strangers, who could steal his only possessions away.
John’s fellow human beings; his fellow global brothers and sisters were not his friends. Not only were they nothing close to his companions, but he deterred them further with the creation of more simplified weapons that dealt with enemies within minutes. What has become of John now? He is very, very miserable; he is walking naked in streets; he has been chased out of bed, just because he made a mistake. John is thus planning to make some money - just a little bit for his hunger thirst. He cannot make enough to afford additional clothes. And what did ‘mother ethics’ do? She does not care about him as long as he is able to buy his food and pay his tuition fees to the government (as they call it with their lovely attractive voice). Who is wrong then?
We did not learn why the following rules and regulations are needed, so it is like being a captive in your own original land. The more ethical we become, the more violence and tragedy will result. We need to feel sorry for our brothers and sisters, who as a result of there anguish and discomfort, realized methods of releasing themselves, and ended up with an addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, or commit suicide. We cannot blame either ‘mother ethics’; or Abel or Cain. Today we can do better than them; than John and his parents. We can do better!
We can do better than what we have seen with John and his experiences. He needs freedom; not outside freedom but inside - that’s why he went on opposing the rules imposed on him purposely bye his ‘mother ethics’. We need to do better than this, for we have seen from John that he did not become a fully developed ethical human being. We need not rely on religion, or devices like the United Nations as a source of our freedom: for ethics is always there for us all to share its flourishing harmony and peace. Remember, we want freedom; and this freedom is not solely acquired from the outside world.
We need to search for the purity within us, which transcends morals and ethics; thus, enabling us to grow not physically, but spiritually. Our natural consciousness must arise from dreaming; living is real, hatred is real, and so is delusion. We need to teach John why he should clean his bed and surroundings; not give him a doll, but natural, maternal love. Why replace this love with a doll? John’s eyes must be open to the fact that no human is a stranger, and never will any be if he learns how to cooperate (to be loving, compassionate and kindhearted - not only to human beings but to all living beings in their respective categories). John must be taught how to give to his friends, rather than selling his dolls.
John must be taught the universal truth. He must be taught to overcome all of his fear so he can share his anguish with friends. Remember, John is naturally pure, but his purity can be disturbed as he by passes this ethical world; thus, why he needs to be able to think of “the whys” in life - it will allow him to maintain his purity and acquire wisdom, which will act as a helpful guide towards universal love. Just like the Buddha, Gotama asked why, and nobody could answer him. His inquiries made him embark on a journey of self-searching, where he obtained his goal: this is how he also succeeded in overcoming the follies of humanity.
The focus of this ethical journey is to become aware of our consciousness, which denotes the pursuit of the deepest mystical insights, in combination with the freedom of rartionality. Thus, our aim will be building the aforementioned global village, with one leader, natural freedom.
Jesus told us that we could be just like him; as he is the Son of God, so we can be as well. He explained how, but I cannot tell you here. Remember the saying; experience is a good teacher. It teaches a fool, like John - not ethics. We have experienced purity in our childhood days; it is not gone, but the knowledge that we have gained eclipses it. Nobody can re-establish this purity: only through oneself, not egoism, but self-remembrance, can one realize it. Spiritual understanding: this is what I believe will give us freedom - not spiritual knowledge. We require change in the first place.
