Morality is based in subtle principles of nature. We access those principles by refining the finest fabric of our own being and sensing what resides within us. This enables us to live in harmony with our own nature.

Human nature finds its unification with all of nature, all of existence, within the transcendent. By living in harmony with our nature we live in harmony with all of nature. We further our evolution, happiness, and fulfillment. We become beacons of morality for all of society.

Throughout the ages, moral rules of conduct have been formulated based upon the behavior of evolved people. These rules have been passed down from generation to generation to support and uphold humanity, and have become revered as time-tested codes of conduct.
~
But nature cycles. As nature cycles, the laws of nature cycle as well. We live in a time when many look at the ancient codes of moral conduct and shake their heads. They point out rules that make no sense in modern times and feel they have no alternative but to reject the dated rules altogether. Our rapid-paced, fast-changing society has lost moral maturity.
~
When we look for guidance, responsible custodians of moral wisdom are difficult to find. Many of the ancient teachings are clearly from another age, for another people. In today’s society the benefits of pursuing a moral life are obscured by our spiritual immaturity and short term, material interests.
~
The seemingly amoral phase we are in is a normal stage in the process of change. The lack of spiritual clarity and moral base will inspire deep thinkers to come forward and breathe new life into our world. New understandings will be established that will assist this generation and future generations to live a life consistent with our evolving nature and with the nature of existence.

The process is, after all, eternally dynamic. We discover, uphold, and move past social conventions. The wisdom that dwells in our hearts is our guiding light.
It is a wonderful moment when we realize that this simply is an example of human evolution and can be approached in conversation with others of an opposite view without frustration or an agenda.
