Building Your |
Moral Ethics
Finally, spiritual development is your adherence to moral ethics. These ethics are the “Thou shall’s . . .”
Thou shall being honest is all of thy doings.
Thou shall treat everyone as equal regardless of race, religion, or background.
Thou shall obey the laws of the land, if the laws are representative of the people.
Thou shall not tell lies or spread false rumors.
Thou shall not steal, covet or murder.
Thou shall not inflict harm in any way.
There are many “Thou shall’s” and “Thou shall not’s.” You can find them in our laws and public policies. If you lie, steal, commit fraud, or engage in any raciest or sexiest acts, you should work to overcome these moral faults and engage in acts that are goodly and just.
…………
There you have it — spiritual traits that make up the spiritual attribute. Spiritual development is the increase of faith, virtue, patience, charity, humility, diligence and moral ethics.
You can see why the spiritual attribute takes the most amount of energy to develop, while impacting your motivation at lower levels than any of the other four character attributes. Spiritual development is mostly intangible. The time to notice a spiritual change takes much longer to measure. That is why you should develop the spiritual attribute last.
Next week, we will start our discussion on building our spiritual attribute.
