What values and authorities do I respect and why?
Who do I consider a role model?
What examples do I follow?
Do I base my ethical choices on rules, culture, consequences, or something else entirely?
Does human evil exist, and if so, how?
How could I change the world to be a better place and what do I already do?
What do I believe about ultimate authority, God(s) and/or Goddess(es)?
Who has the power to decide truth?
"Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it."
- Meister Eckhart
"To be enlightened is to study the universe,
To study the universe is to be awake to all things,
To be awake to all things is to forget the self,
To forget the self is to find the self,
To find the self is to swim in the pool of awareness,
To swim in the pool of awareness is to discover others,
To discover others is to get rid of all your greed,
To get rid of all your greed is to respect everything,
To respect everything is to start back in the pool of awareness,
To start back in the pool of awareness is to find you own way,
To find your own way is almost to be enlightened, but not quite."
- R.J. Newman
