Karma, Ethics, Human Activities and the 'Pursuit of Happiness'

There are very few instances in today's world of totally ethical doings. Ultimately almost everything is tainted with activities that make the whole of human bustling unacceptable at higher levels. No one is innocent and safe.

Knowing or not knowing about that will ultimately have an impact on you. This is the most difficult aspect of life in the material world, especially now. The complexity of the societies we've created is such that even though one may not be aware of it or unwilling to dig deeper into the knowledge of whatever it is one is doing, the end result is the same. If it doesn't comply with the requirements at higher levels of the spiritual world, one will end up stuck at lower levels if one doesn't want to care about that. If one does wishes to care about the end result of one's activity, acts AND thoughts to the best of one's knowledge and ability, it will eventually be possible to move on to higher levels because corruptions of all sorts linger all over the material world.

It is almost impossible to escape the realities we've created: the base is rotten. Why is it do we exist and who are we serving? In the pursuit of one's own 'happiness', one is having an impact on others' pursuit of 'happiness', whether positive or negative. It's an endless chain reaction and has a tremendous impact on the Other Side. The Tables of Moses or if you prefer the Ten Commandments are like a spiritual framework to assist humans in their pursuit of 'happiness'. It is not complete but it is a good start to act solely for the purpose of the betterment of the Universe let alone one's betterment. It is quite simple. It doesn't require a PhD in anything to understand them. And yet...

Transcriptions and translations purposefully or not may have altered the wording throughout history. For instance, whether it is considered the fourth of the fifth Commandment 'Honour thy father and thy mother' has been wrongly transcribed and should read: 'Honour fatherhood and motherhood' This is crucial. It places the burden on those having children instead of the children. It means you are not to take lightly the purpose of being a parent, for you bring into this world another being and it is your responsibility to respect this being and teach, educate this individual without exercising undue authority. For many centuries this has been quite a mistake to place the burden on the kids instead of putting it on the parents. Parents have to act as guides towards the child without any sort of abuse.

The difference of perspective is total and has had an impact on everything else. Authoritarian attitude towards one another shows a lack of respect towards one another. Such a situation does not occured on higher levels because there is no necessity to use authority on higher levels because if you have reached higher levels you are at a point of cooperation with one another. The abuse of power, authoritarian power throughout history is tremendous and makes the whole base of being here rotten. We can see it in everything on a daily basis, everywhere. Of course there are some sorts of hierarchies on higher levels of the spiritual world, but they are more like the wiseman or woman of the village. So it's more like a guidance. If you don't like it maybe you shouldn't be there... Anyway you wouldn't be there if you didn't want to follow some rules...
