數千年來,人類世界始終難以達到真正和平與和諧的主要原因之一是:不了解生命運作之基本法則的「功能性」,也就是神所謂的「功能文盲」(functional illiteracy)——意思是我們大多數人對於「功能性」並不了解,自然也就不懂得如何在生活中去遵循和運用。您願意幫助我們社會、幫助更多人脫離「功能文盲」嗎?讓我們現在就從自己開始!
在聽神談「改變世界的觀察建言」系列中,探討「擴展人類對於『道德』的覺知」確實是一個相當顛覆性的〝新觀念〞。 讓我們繼續了解和檢視「道德」:
聽神談【「道德」與「功能性」】: 1/4
你們已經將你們的道德權威建立在神聖的律法上,接受或不接受的“原則”,是根據你們在特定的時刻、特定的文化以及特定的情況下,你們對它們的“感覺”而定。
換句話說……
你們的「道德」其實根本沒有標準,完全看「什麼能帶來你們想要的」與「什麼無法帶來你們想要的」罷了。(註:即功能性,即行得通或行不通)
這才是真相,其它的都是你們杜撰虛構出來的。
你們必須為自己做決定。因爲,我已經顯示給你們看了:若是未加分辨、不分皂白地照單全收而直接加以應用,把它視爲絕對真理、按其字面意義地遵行不渝,而且缺乏個案與狀況的彈性的話,那麼你們的律法和神的話語將是荒謬愚昧的。這樣運作是行不通的,無法發揮任何功能。
尼爾你自己也承認,應該根本不必理會許多你們的宗教律法。它們很難成爲整個社會真正道德基準的源頭。
事實上,經由你們自己的行徑作為,你們已經自行證實了: 「道德」等於「功能性」。
摘自《與神對話之新啟示》第21章
You have based your moral authority on Sacred Laws that you apply on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, depending upon how you feel about them at a particular moment, in a particular culture, under particular circumstances.
In other words…
Your morality has no standard at all except what works and what doesn't work.
That is the truth, and everything else is a fiction.
You have to decide for yourself, because the words of both your laws and of your God have been shown to be foolish when swallowed whole, when applied indiscriminately, when adhered to absolutely, literally, and without flexibility in every case and circumstance. They can't function in that way. Nothing can function that way.
Many of your religious laws, by your own admission, should simply be ignored. They could hardly be the source of your entire society's true moral underpinnings.
Therefore, by your own actions, you have proven that:"morals" = "functionality."
