If one understands feedback and the various motions of energy - these are the only principles one really needs to know. The rest is philosophical interpretation and waters down the basic understandings.
Ethics like morals are relative to ones development and understanding - just like religions they don't get the job done anywhere near 100%.
Raouls golden rule is fine and fits in with feedback but it's much more complex than that even. Tie in Mary Annes cycle bit and you'll realize not only will you receive feedback for each of your actions and thoughts - you will receive it multifold. It's not equal feedback mind you - because energy regenerates. By the time it comes back at you it has snowballed into a bigger hit. You responded to Lindy's comments with "sh-- for brains" and you may have spent all of a minute focusing on such a title. Yet the feedback you received from Robert and the others, who were apparently complaining about your actions, was probably equal to seven times the initial amount of bias you put on Lindy.
That's just one example. Each time you give out a positive it'll come back at you. Your intent with this post was both simultaneously positive and negative - positive in that you felt folks needed more ethical positions and negative in that you were critical of many of the posters. With the good will come the bad and the responses to this query are another example of feedback. If you observe closely there is some good feedback in these threads along with the negative responses reacting to the critical expressions. One has to learn to be understanding and not critical. Each person is at their own particular evolutionary position - to be critical of it only is a manifestation of ignorance. That is why it is best when one can address issues as unemotionally as possible - because it illustrates one truly understands this bigger picture of human frailties more accurately.
So when one learns from energy and a concept I will call rectification, one realizes that each imbalance in your consciousness or in your daily life serves as a learning experience and a challenge to balance.
Good and evil are forever reciprocating values which hold little meaning from this viewpoint. If you do "bad" things - you will be on the receiving end of even worse things in your future. If this doesn't bother you, or you aren't even aware of the evil in a particular act - then there is no evil in it for you at this time. Later, perhaps, when you don't know why the world seems to be out to get you - you might find yourself re-evaluating your standards and bars of acceptable behavior. Evil is a personal interpretation. One man's threshold for what qualifies as evil or bad is completely unique and forever changing - hopefully for the better.
After a few thousand millenia, you no longer see in good and evil at all. This is because even the worst acts offer a learning experience and present a "good" side when an individual compensates and trys to redeem themselves by doing good. And like the negative feedback - they must do a whole lot of good to balance that act because of these cycles and snowballing effects.
The immediate reaction is disbelief - after all then folks could do the worst things and be redeemed later. However, when one is intelligent enough to understand these things one realizes that any negative act adds to the sum and total of what you are and is irrevocable even if it can be balanced somewhat with other acts. If one uses this as an excuse to commit things against one's better judgement - one incurs even more difficult times ahead as this tendency to go against one's better judgement is regenerated and magnified as well! In effect someone who misuses these understandings as an excuse to commit negative acts is on the fasttrack to complete dissolution and makes their recovery nearly impossible. The loss of intelligence by willfully commiting evil when one knows it is evil - is enormous and destroys every bit of the knowledge one has acquired and sought for so long.
So if one is evolving - even one's good acts will eventually embarass one as they seem ever more feeble in retrospect as we learn how to assist others more intelligently and give them the tools to help themselves.
Our biases and understandings evolve, but the fundamental principles which govern our existence and the universe around us remain inviolate. By understanding those and applying them to our own actions and thinking, we can insure we stay on a progressive path instead of a retrogressive course.
