Defining Morality

The common problem with moral systems is that, although they all aim for goodness, they do not define what that goodness is all about. Because of this, some moral systems contradict each other. For example, the moral system of Jesus reversed the Jewish policy of an eye-for-an-eye, but was later reversed by the morals of the Prophet Mohammad who sanctioned revenge.

The difference in the Jewish and Islamic moral policy from that of Jesus, is due to the fact that the former was created during a disorderly time when the people were under constant threat from Assyrians, Babylonians, and Arab tribes, whereas Jesus lived in a stable time under Roman rule. In this case, the difference in political condition led to differences in moral policy. This is then due to the fact that politics, laws, and morals are all based on feelings which change through time.

The changing nature of feelings, as a metaphysical wave* that comes in contact with physical space-time, leads to the morals of one era being overturned by another era, to be itself overturned later. Because of this, even academics are unable to accurately define morality.

*Our definition of morality is based on our Metaphysics of Things which splits existence into a metaphysical layer made up of waves, and a physical layer made up of particles, such as quark-particles and soul-particles existing in space and time.

In order to create a moral system that is universal (across space) and more long lasting (across time), we must go to the root and define what morals are:

• Moral — a quality that produces happiness for now and for as long as possible, for the self and for as many entities as possible. We define entities as anything that the mind regards as having an identity.
• Morality — a state of being moral
• Moral Philosophy — the organized system of ideas designed to bring about morality

Notice that our definition of moral is not absolute in the sense that it does not include infinity nor all entities. The phrase for as long as possible forces the mind to think of future consequences, while as many entities as possible forces the ego to go outside of the self. The root idea behind morality is happiness which, according to our Metaphysics of Things, is a positive wave from which other positive waves, such as virtues, come about.

By forcing the mind to think into the future and into other entities, the mind will naturally discover the patterns that will point to the dynamics of a Supreme Entity that works behind the scenes to generate reality and existence. This would force backward humans to think and get out of the monkey-state where the mind does not think and the heart does not feel, consequently replacing morality with mere natural processes of eating, sleeping, etc.

In subsequent posts, we will explain the reasoning behind this definition of morality through the positive and negative polarities of existence which flow through the universe.
