This is an as-if situation. The systems available to us are "as-if" a deity makes such allowances. As I was discussing early with sentience and awareness, "as-if" seems a construct we use when we are uncomfortable with the ramifications of our belief. I am god. You are god. We are God. The We is all of us from the lowly bacterium to the great masses of humanity (and whatever life there is in the universe). This is the collective that we are all part of. The morality to me is a polarization function to use mathspeak. Good and Evil are relative terms and self-referential. Good is nothing without Evil. The CF I speak of has to include all forces not just the sweetness and light. The unity is in the mix of the dualistic components. Balance must be achieved and while one can seek Good, it is not without some Harm. Just not possible. But I won't be flagellated for the food I eat or the mice that my snakes swallow. However, having snakes for a pet speaks about one's insensitivity to the need for a live kill to feed it. This breeds the kind callousness that gives rise to suffering and thereby shapes you.
