Leaving the ethics and morality of this world behind…

Question from the Internet:

“Do you think human ethics are learned or natural? Do we have an innate sense of right and wrong, or do we learn everything from parents, friends, society, etc.?”

This is a very complex matter.

Inherently, we are all born with a 100% egocentric, subjective and individualistic nature and viewpoint. All our calculations are self-serving and self-justifying. Thus our sense of right and wrong is also completely egocentric and subjective.

Then people with similar inclinations and qualities establish “ethical and moral” rules and principles and establish laws to control their surroundings and their societies — until their selfish interest changes and they themselves start to break those rules and laws.

And since we are all born with the same nature, our ethics and morals change constantly; they are so fluid that most of the things we thought and considered ethical or moral before now have become immoral and unethical.

In terms of development, we have some innate qualities, and according to these innate qualities, through our self-serving and self-justifying filters, we have certain inclinations toward different ideologies, philosophies, values, and norms. Obviously, it can be completely changed and manipulated by upbringing, education, and the influence of our society.

Mass-scale propaganda, so-called correction camps employed by different civilizations and regimes, can completely reprogram a human being.

But as long as we stay within the boundaries of our inherently self-serving, egocentric, and subjective mindset and perception of reality, the general life- experience and the flow of human development — flowing blindly and instinctively — will not change.

There is a way of changing our values, “morals, and ethics” in a fundamentally different way. We can learn how to exit our inherently egocentric and subjective cocoons and start observing and experiencing life in a completely different way.

The first step is acquiring a totally selfless and thus objective viewpoint, where we do not feel our egocentric and subjective cocoon anymore, but our observing self lives and experiences life through the desires, needs, and viewpoints of other people as if dissolving into them.

This can be achieved in a unique, closed human environment that uses a special, purposeful, and practical method. This can be achieved only when people enter that environment and take upon the method willingly and consciously, fully understanding what they want to do and why.

This means that with the help of this special environment, we can learn to live in a completely different reality where I do not sense and assess everything through my egoistic self but “outside of my self” in a totally unlimited, undistorted, free, and perfect way, seeing, stating and researching reality as it is.

Then we will not need any ethics, morality, or laws that are the product of our original perception and viewpoint. When we experience a perfect reality through a selfless and objective viewpoint, we simply exist; we live life as it is.
