About the "Ethical Sense"
Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2015 7:21 pm
In the Humanianity Belief Manual, "ethical sense" is defined as: The motivation to do, the wanting to do, that which one believes one should do, because one believes one should do it. (A person can believe that something is the right thing to do, and yet not have much motivation to do it simply because it is the right thing to do, or one can be strongly motivated to do whatever is believed to be the right thing to do.)
In my opinion, low motivation to act following the REUEP is more of a limitation to better human behavior, than any incompleteness and uncertainty in the meaning and implications of the REUEP.
Among other things, I think such low motivation is due to the limited level of psychological development of most persons. One understanding of such levels of development is described in the attachment. This document combines a recently completed two-week series of daily meditations. In this series, Richard Rohr discusses eight levels of human maturity development.
