Is morality good or bad for you? (The bottom line, it is not good.)
Morality is said to be the greatest achievement of mankind. Morality gives human beings “laws” to live by. Laws given by a “God”. Without these laws, it is advanced, we would quickly become derelicts incapable of sustaining a viable “self” or society. As individuals, we would fall into depravity and as a society we would be at each others throats. It would be the end of civilization.
But there is a problem:
At the moment of conception, nature inscribes in each and every human being its own laws. (Laws: patterns formed by the “raison d’etre” of nature). No matter what is said… no one… has the power to change these patterns.) They are incorporated into the very fabric of your existence… moment by moment, day by day, dream by dream, though by thought, and action action. And they are inscribes in every external occurrences you encounter during your entire life.
They are the same through out infinite space. And their duration spans eternity.
But religious ideologies teach that these natural laws make human beings wicked, corrupted, and defective… and that they go in opposite direction to the will of the “God”. Human natural laws are to be eradicated and replaced by divine laws: morality. But as everything in you is genetically stamped, you continuously fail in your obedience to “change” and follow the will of the deity… thus… you are proclaimed a sinner.
To moralists, what is… “good” and “bad”…. “right” and “wrong”… and how you should think, want, act (react), and be is set in “absolutes”; to nature “judgement” is relative. Morality’s rules come from “outside”; they are implanted in people’s minds after birth. Most human beings and societies on earth are under the domination (in one form or another) of an artificial “moralistic” implant.
Yet, morality’s attempts at your de-naturalization is a futile endeavor. All you get is confusion, guilt, and the destruction of your self-esteem.
As you divest yourself of your birthright – your in-born nature – you forget that you are a natural being living in a natural universe. You become a “fake” being. You walk your life in a daze. In a dream-trance. Unable to make heads or tails of who you are.
Many say that without morality, you would fall. Actually, you would rise. You would feel a sense of belonging, a sense of oneness with the cosmos, with the earth, with the forms of nature, and with people. You would learn about your true nature.
You would become real.
