| | | Modes Of Knowing:
It is important to acknowledge the reality and importance of non-rational modes of knowing, such as intuition, integrative awareness and contemplation. It is also important to understand the developing of a greater sense of connectedness with the deeper SELF, the world of nature, or the social, interpersonal dimension.
Do we owe respect to one another because of moral ideals?

| Respect and moral ideals
Respect can only be earned and it really has nothing to do with "morals".
I think it has to do more with personal integrity which would be based on the individuals OWN sense of value. Value that is based on that person's world view and of their own place in it; not connected to societal values it would, I would have to say, be based on spiritual values. Boy, Hank, you are like a different person over here. I like it! I like it! A little freer to be yourself maybe?
And in response to the other part of the question:
YES! Getting to know your true self and learning to recognize the greater you.
Have a great day, Hank!

| A New Day:
The human capacity for self-delusion is nearly limitless. We have all seen people claim great spirituality but do evil things and then ignore or rationalize them. Somehow some people think they are immune to this phenomena. That's the difference between 'over there' and 'over here,' Patty!

| Self delusion
You cannot self delude.
Don't forget, reality is relative to the individual.
People may claim great spirituality and do evil things...
They may not think them evil, you know.
I, for instance, do not believe in evil so something I might do may ultimately appear evil to you, who believes in evil. But it doesn't exist in my reality. | |

| HANK,
I think you need to set yourself up a blog. Seriously. It seems that you post here not to seek ay answers but to see your writing on the web. A blog would be perfect for you - you could sent the link to your blog to all your literary friends and they could comment on your articles. http://www.blogger.com/start
Take care,
Karma. | |

what is respect do we have to know what it is in order to have it, so the question then may appear to lead you to ask what part of truth is respect in order for it to become reality but that is only one source of itself such as morals and idealsand by knowing when to place the force of respect and to what degree we now have masterd a higher plain of understanding i must end it here for i am sure the rest jumps out . | |

| modes of knowing,respect and ideals
Do we owe respect to one another because of moral ideas? Then you quote Anthony Robbins which is completely taken out of context and demeaning.
Then keenu says respect can only be earned and has nothing to do with morals...more with personal integrity.
I have never met Mother Theresa, but I would respect her, and that is because of her morals. When you go in for a job interview, I would respect the person interviewing me even though theyve never earned my respect.
And if you look up respect in the dictionary, personal integrity is probably in the definition.
And wasnt Anthony Robbins in Bill and Teds excellent adventure or Waynes World...he made some cameo appearance in some teen movie. peace ranieri | |
