i have always tried to be a good person, in every moment.... but the deeper i go into hyperspace, the more i see everything is one. no such thing as duality.... this unconditional love that imbraces all... so what is the point in been moral in this life? if in the end i am gona get vacumed up into the abiss? of every thing and i don't exist after? ... hmm True strength isn’t muscle, it's the mind it's limitless, it’s the heart it won't ever stop loving, it’s the spirit it can’t be crushed, it’s the soul it’s inextinguishable.

Doesn't being a moral person benefit your current existance? Doesn't it make you feel good to do the 'right' thing?

I believe we get back what we put out. You reap what you sow. Simple karmic law. That's reason enough for me.

If it gives you courage enough to keep getting out of bed in the morning to continue on living, what does it matter? Hang onto how it makes you feel. We can think of foods and taste them, why not try to think of an emotion to feel it? More on topic: Think happy thoughts (Music helps  ) Do not listen to anything, "Steely" says. He is a made up character that his owner likes to role play with. His owner is very delusional and everything he says is completely untrue and ridiculous.

I think 'morality' is a concept which has varied at different times and places but a sane and rational person who has not been dealt a 'bad hand' in life understands what the gist of morality is.I wonder, should a person who is not governed by the strictures that 'morality' implies and is conscious of their 'divergence' from these defining characteristics would experience this appreciation of oneness in as pleasing or unsettling a fashion under psychedelics as one imbued with 'morality'? I think the Cosmic Oneness is appreciative of morality but recognises its opposite as it is manifest by us foibled creatures and in the final analysis we will become re-evaluated on the basis of the tussle between these two integral aspects that we all possess.From morality stems righteous conduct and this has many facets. I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

I like this quote from f. nietzsche : Quote:“There are no moral phenomena, only a moral interpretation of phenomena” To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.
- William Blake

There can be no (intelligent) live without morality. Every living being percieves the truth of his life in such a way that a form of morality is a nessecary consequence of it. Morality is an automatic consequence of counsciousness.
Morality is real, but at the same time it can never be fully be defined in a way that totally encompasses it.

I think that every action is an expression of some morality, and part of becoming whole is looking at what our true morality is and what we want to make it. PK Dick is to LSD as HP Lovecraft is to Mushrooms

I always thought the golden rule was a good way to understand morality. “Psychedelics are like square roots. They can take you from a place you know, to a place you never imagined could have existed”

Do not do it if you do not want it done to yourself. Pretty good way to morally live your live. It says more than you think. You just need to think differently. “Psychedelics are like square roots.
