The first law and fundamental right given at birth to all humans is the ability or choice of freewill,...
The proper function of social networks is to allow freewill to flourish UN-encumbered and to only impose a few rules to allow the maximum of non-interference between humans, because not all humans function with the same ideology. It is this wonderful diversity that keeps the whole planet from becoming mundane and to keep us humans entertained, and not starved of boredom.
However, when like minded individuals get together, ego creeps in and then voices raise to promote, "who has the better agenda", as seen in the form of religion. Suffering is then sometimes caused by the conflict of non-recognition of ideas, and the non-recognition of universal freewill. Spirituality was born into modern society as a direct counter response to other peoples agendas. (Totally my opinion, so let's go with it), and my ideas of spirituality stem from my belief in universal laws., and that these laws super-seed any written by man in accordance to spiritual development. That is not to say I am ignoring the rules of social obligations or interactions but only to say that when it comes to the development of my 'soul-person' or my spirit or higher-self, universal laws prevail. Yet, there seems to be a disconnect from between 'what-is', and 'what can or should be', in the terms of human interactions and how society goes about it business. Religion is suppose to compensate and act as a bridge between spirit and the human condition. The question is, "how do we navigate", and function with other freewill-ed humans.
Now if there exist laws the governed spiritual development and they are universal, and these laws are in accordance to evolution of the human experience for development into a more 'cosmic' or universal being then religious teaching and spiritual awakening must also evolve as our human understanding evolves. So therefore "religions need to evolve as well, and then it only seems to proceed as there is a universal doctrine,... it may or may not explain "HOW TO', "Worship", but it would definitely have rules; which brings me to the point;
all ideas of religion or of spiritual development have a universal thread, common themes or ideas that seem to be acceptable to all that believe in some form of evolved spiritual development.
Universal law or rule two:
Reciprocity,...
"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you" (Analects: 15:23)
Reciprocity,...is an idea that Confucius had taught over 2,500 years ago; about the same time that Buddha was developing ideas about enlightenment. Reciprocity is also the teaching of goodness and translates into a way of governing the rule of freewill. Decision making and Freewill must also include some form of ethics, and the decisions we as humans and as universal spirits make in the exercise of freewill must correspond into some fundamental morality. Simply stated; every decision we make, we should ask ourselves, does this decision to act cause harm or suffering at ant point in time. Once asked, ...then we can exercise our right.
Universal Laws:
1. Freewill
2. Reciprocity
3. (...that's for another day)
Bumbas,...Happy Trails!
