Yet you appear to have found it but can't answer if its a good thing? Furthermore, why would motivation be an issue? What exactly is it?
Morality and true morality are human constructs. We could stick with morality and no need to say "true" morality. Without consciousness, there will be no morality.....so morality can't be permanent.....we need an example here to clarify.
What is your views on cause and effect here?
I would have thought one would need to change their life first before the truth is known. Yet you appear to show it the other way round.....sounds like a believe to me. Please continue.
I believe in nothing so there is nothing to throw away!.....please proceed.
Am not sure if truth can be simply TOLD and accepted.....surely it must be "KNOWN" ?
Thats interesting.....more please.
Edit: Whether it's a good thing or not, depends on from what perspective you are looking at it. For example, what your reaction is to it. The truth is good, but is only
viewed as good by those who embrace it.
Motivation is relevant to what the results will be. One can say they are motivated to look for something, but not really look that hard for it, or look for it in all the wrong places. Furthermore, one could think they are "motivated" to find something, but once they find it or see evidence of what it might be, realize they'd wished they'd never found it in the first place, since it wasn't what they wished it would be. I don't claim to know where you stand on this, and don't expect you to necessarily know either. No way for me to know where your are at in your self realization process, the same process we are all in as individuals. And if you did tell me where you stand, there would be no way to know if that was true or not until you actually find what you are looking for, and demonstrate your reaction to it.
True morality is at the core of the truth and is not a human construct. Once you realize this, you can be more ready to accept truth. Only looking at things from a human standpoint hasn't resulted in the acceptance of true morality, but rather has made morality
seem temporary, something that can be changed on a whim. But the true permanent morality hasn't changed. People try to change it. But just like if someone lies to everyone around them, gets everyone to believe that lie, does that make it true? No. It's still a lie. Likewise, the whole world believes lies, as I already mentioned with my "100 people in a room" illustration. The room with the 100 people stands for the world we live in. Everyone believing something different does not change what the truth is, and only proves that most people do not have it. The truth is permanent and can not be changed by what people choose to believe.
Again, morality from a human standpoint is whatever is accepted by the masses. In fact, it doesn't even need to be accepted by most people, just enough people that one can surround themselves with, in order to feel comfortable.
Without consciousness, there would be no morality, you say? Obviously if we didn't exist, we'd not be having this conversation. But there is consciousness. We do exist. So, we have this conversation. So, we are not talking about what it would be like without our existence, since if that were true, as I said, we'd not be talking and the question wouldn't be on your mind, as you wouldn't have a mind. Further, the fact that you do have consciousness, and awareness, has caused you to ask this question in the first place, so your existence and awareness is more evidence that the question is relevant, can be answered and that you should continue looking for it, if it is important to you. We spend our whole lives searching for satisfying answers to questions. Once we stop doing that, we might as well not exist at all, since nothing really matters to us anymore, so what's the point?
People can still change their lives without knowing the truth. People can also be sincere with limited knowledge of true morality. But what I am saying is that the truth, which is permanent and doesn't change, if it becomes known and accepted, will cause one to make more changes than they never would have thought necessary or possible.
Truth can be known without being accepted. You can know something is bad for your health, but do it anyway. Does no good to know the truth if you cannot accept it which involves living by it. What's more, it can be terrifying to someone, even to get a glimpse of the truth, and see all of the changes that it would mean would be necessary for them if they accepted it. So, many avoid it at all costs. Spending their whole life running away from it, and ridiculing anyone who tries to show it to them. But most of the time they are pretty comfortable, since they surround themselves with people who feel the same way. Easy to ignore important questions, when everyone else around you is doing the same thing…
It's also about responsibility. With something permanent comes responsibility, and commitment. Most people do not want any "permanent" responsibility or commitment. Since that would mean they don't have the option to change their mind if it gets too hard. Or change their "view" if it becomes convenient. That's why most promises are broken at some point. So, until one is ready to actually commit to something permanent, they will not be able to accept something that is permanent, since finding, knowing and accepting something permanent, would mean they have to commit permanently…
