Moral Absolutes
In the gray murkiness of what is right and what is wrong, there are some absolutes a person can count on:
The importance of knowing your "True Will" and the perfection of your personal paradigm or view of reality. Each will be different from everyone elses, but will be in harmony with the universe. They represent your particular place in the universe and the reason for your existence.
All personal effort is cumulative in nature. Without personal effort we will not get anywhere. We must apply ourselves and not look to others to fulfill our needs for us.
Each of these require that we be entirely honest with ourselves and with each other. We must be true to ourselves at all costs and allow others the same respect.
There are some things that are unconditionally bad:
Habitual dishonesty and laziness.
Destructive actions or activity intended simply to destroy without replacing what exists with something better.
Denying individual rights or controlling others simply because they are not doing what you want them to do or controlling them for the "higher good". This is especially true for laws and government authorities that try to control people through legal legislation.
This includes the use of force against individuals. The use of force is never justified except in self defense or the defense of loved ones.
Giving personal power away to some higher cause or person is never in our best interests and is never justified. They will always act in their own best interest and not in ours.
Always remember we find our "True Will" by listening to our "internal authority" and not some teacher or Guru. That includes these teachings as well. They are intended to make you think and decide for yourself. They are not to be accepted blindly or followed blindly.
