[tmtranscripts] morality

[Rob Davis]

Morality is not the ideals imposed on you from social organizations. Morality is individual and varies according to each person's individual situation and inner light. Life's journey is only meaningful as it is expressed in this search for higher morality. Morality is not what someone tells you you should do. It is found only in your own heart and soul center, that place of spiritual leading.- Ham <http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1997-05-11-Faithfulness_%26_Morality#Faith.2C_Morality>

As you progress in the spirit, you bring into your lives truth and an increased responsiveness to all truth; you incorporate beauty and an increased sensitivity to all things beautiful, and lastly, you incorporate goodness, and as you become good yourselves, you show through an increased becoming of that which is value, the way to true morality and dignity.

You cannot dissect morality explaining it in all its ethical manifestations in order to pass it to another generation. Morality is passed on only through living examples. Spirituality as well remains and is passed on only in and through your lives for the spiritual life cannot be separated from other aspects of living. It colors, changes, and transforms all facets of life.

Religions have tried for centuries to teach morality, to teach spiritual thinking, but all of this falls short. The most that can be done is point a direction, but no one can give another the feet and the will to walk it. 

Every person must heed their own inner calling, that voice of the spirit which prompts and leads and guides. For each person has a unique pathway to God, but as you live your lives in the spirit, the drawing power of spirit is enhanced for those around you as you become one who lives the ennobling and thrilling life of the spiritual quest. - Ham <http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-12-01-Willing_Laborers#Spirituality.2C_Morality>

The religion of the mind does not escape the realm of philosophy. It may be rational and comprehensive but it cannot find true morality for often such systems replace what is moral with simply what is ethical. The Sanhedrin criticized Christ for healing on the Sabbath day thereby elevating a system of religious rules over human need. Thus the religion of the mind could not escape from rational logic into higher spiritual truths. So you see, one can live a life completely within the confines  of religion and its rules without penetrating the morality behind the rules. You have the freedom to break rules and thus to lay hold of higher morality. When religion interferes with that freedom, religion itself becomes immoral.  - Ham <http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2004-11-28-The_Soul%27s_Increasing_Presence#Morality>
