THE SEVENTH PRECEPT

SEVENTH PRECEPT

The seventh is to BELIEVE IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOURSELF.

We call it the UNIVERSE but I prefer NATURE. Everything is nature, EVERYTHING. However understand to follow the code one does not put their faith in the idea of a sentient being watching over them. If one believes in nature then one learns one simple truth in observing her, whether it be in the "wild", your own life, or the vastness of space. Nature does not look out for you on a day to day basis.

All creatures are giving what they need to survive, to prosper at birth. That is all Nature does. If the situation changes, or the environment, or a catastrophe happens, nature says to all life, "Adapt, Evolve or die." To humans I would add to that, "Adapt, Evolve, Plan, Understand, or die."

One who follows the code does not look at this as "ugly" or "harsh" but as a validation that it is up to me, or the group I'm a part of to do what has to be done to survive, to live. So whether looking at the bigger picture of the species or your everyday life know that if there is a sentient more powerful being helping you out it too must interact with Nature in some way or another.

Another thing greater than yourself to believe in is THE VISION.In the course of reading this philosophy you will come to see my vision. If you choose to read and learn the Wisdoms you will come to learn all the aspects of life and how they fit to create this new way of just behavior.

THE SIXTH PRECEPT

SIXTH PRECEPT

The sixth to understand is to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

Have confidence in yourself. If you can't believe in yourself. Then take what I say now to help you. I believe in you. I have to, you would not be here reading this if it didn't speak to you. So if you can not believe in yourself, that does not matter believe that I believe and use this to be your motivation.

THE FIFTH PRECEPT

FIFTH PRECEPT

The fifth is to UNDERSTAND THE RULES.

For the most part these rules are a guide, a very good guide to help anyone to better understand themselves, and to purge themselves of fault they find less than desirable. Understand no rule is absolute. There is always a time, circumstance, moment, or instant when one must go against the rule in order to get a better desired outcome. Of course it takes true wisdom to know when those moments are. Tho, I say these rules are guides and not absolute I would say if you choose to break them the majority of the time you should not even bother with this practice. Simply put if you can't follow the rules of the group then are you really a part of the group? I would say no. Anyone following the code, truly, also would say so. Follow the rules as best you can not trying to find the exceptions they will come on their own. The exceptions are rare moments in most lives and far in between.

THE FOURTH PRECEPT

FOURTH PRECEPT

The fourth is WISDOM.

Perhaps it's not really a step but instead an aspiration. Wisdom is learned from experience but I will say it is learned faster by watching others. Learning from their mistakes. If a man is walking in front of you and trips on a protruding sidewalk edge. Do you walk the same path? Or do you learn from his mistake and step over the obstruction or walk around it? People would call it common sense not to do the same as him but yet many do just that everyday.

THE THIRD PRECEPT

THIRD PRECEPT

The third is REASON.

Emotions can not be the first thing you use to make decisions or to act. One must always have reason first. Reason should fuel emotions. Do not have emotion misguide your reason. One must look at the world with logic, and truth. The simplest way to gage this is to say the Truth is not based on what one feels, or what people have always believed, in opinion but on what holds up in observation, to test, and has facts.
