My Religion as My Ethic

The idea of the individual being connected to the cosmos is expressed in the very meaning of the word religion. Many religious beliefs have deduced the morality for how we are to live. Thus, if religion is the establishing of a relationship between a being of reason and all that encompasses existence as we know it, then morality is the indication and explanation of those activities that automatically result when a person maintains one or other relationship to the composition of everything that makes up Aabahran.

Understanding our connection to "everything" is a beautiful and profound spiritual experience; understanding this through reason and the sciences simply confirms this previously intuitive or mystical knowledge (which many people have experienced). Nonetheless, there is a certain psychological danger in dismissing the world of our senses (the world of change and illusion) and asserting that only the One Absolute (Infinite Space/Belief in Gods) is real.

While it is quite a notion to trust that all is One and Interconnected, this does not necessarily mean that all things existing in Aabahran are good for us and our societies. Case in point, there are many harmful things within us as structures of "perpetual existence" from natural or mortal made earthquakes and asteroids that may harm life, to incorrect ideas that lead to overpopulation, starvation, war and the brutality that comes with the collapse of moral laws. Thus, it seems to me that a valid moral purpose of life is to promote the good and eliminate the bad within yourself, and thus as a logical consequence, within reality, you help create and your senses provide, by way of the Mystic.

Through Arcane, Divine, and Esoteric endeavors, we, the intellectual and pious followers of the Mystic, usually develop great powers and even greater responsibilities. So, it is necessary to possess an evolved moral sense, cause it would be immoral if we did not use our Knowledge for the betterment of ourselves, and thus, All Life Forms as well as the environment which sustains us.
