generally, when I have the feeling that something is wrong
what is wrong is that I think something is wrong.
and the solution is not to find the wrong thing and right it
but to remember that the present is unavoidable
and stop resisting it.
ceasing putting all my effort into trying to resist what is unresistable
my energy and attention is freed to experience the moment.
experiencing the moment, without trying to change it
without ideas about it's rightness and wrongness
it turns out nothing was wrong
and everything is beautiful
and kind.

What you are describing is an undifferentiated state of consciousness in which there is no right or wrong per se, just pure consciousness. The interesting thing is that this raw state of mind forms the basis for moral decision making competence such that the stronger appreciation is of this state, the more coherence one brings to situations requiring moral decision making.
ReplyDeleteSo I argue it is not that there is no such thing as right or wrong, but more so that the judge and juror and enabler of the perception of right and wrong is a state of mind that transcends the moral situation. When that state of mind enters activity, it makes moral decision making better and easy like a muscle memory or a feeling.
