One Moral System and Evolution

Post by Eodnhoj7 »

1. One constant morality exists as transcendent above time and space.

2. This morality is expressed in portions across time and space through evolution.

3. Evolution is the approximation of one constant moral system, as expressed in many parts across time and space. Evolution is approximation of the one through the many.

I agree but it is obvious how hard the world struggles against the idea, As I understand it there are two essential flows of forces which sustain our universe: involution and evolution.Involution refers to the flow through levels of reality away from the source and evolution is the flow of forces back into the vertical direction of our source. It is like a universal blood stream.

From this perspective there is one direction of evolution and one appreciation for objective morality which furthers it. What society calls morality is simply man made interpretation made possible through imagination.

Point 1 and 2 contradicts.
If your constant morality is transcendent above time and space, how can it be expressed across* time and space. "across" presumed 'is within' else it would be parallel and never interacted, thus nothing productive results.
Any your points are all talk which lead to nothing solid for actions to be taken.

My point is;
Humanity exists and operates within time and space.
Humanity has evolved with an inherent Moral Faculty which is quite dormant and not very active across humanity.
The purpose of the moral faculty is to facilitate the survival of the individual [at least till the inevitable] and thus the preservation of the human species.
The inherent faculty at present is slowly unfolding and becoming more active as the human species evolves further with greater understanding of the greater inherent threats to the species.

Example, when a rogue meteor, WMDs and climate changes could exterminate the whole human species, the individual humans moral faculty will need to expeditiously activated to ignore petty killing each other and focus on the greater good of saving the human species from the possibility of extinction.

One transcendent morality expresses itself in parts through time. Time acts as a veil, where one phenomenon is expressed through many.
