The norms, values, and other defining constructs of that matrix are often arbitrary or derived imperfectly from higher truths and insights. In order to realize these norms and values, moral rules are applied to everyday situations.
These rules can be considered a kind of heuristic that individuals can themselves apply to ascertain relatively consistent outcomes relative to the norms and values across a variety of situations, subjects, and people. This is important because the thoughts, feelings, intent, etc. of individuals are not transparent in third density, so the heuristic stands in for what would otherwise be obvious, effortless to perceive, and fully contextualized. In lieu of complete data about individuals within the social matrix, concepts of right and wrong allow for a kind of unity deriving from discipline instead of unconditional inclusion and acceptance.
However, the heuristics cannot yield accurate outcomes all the time, because the illusion is much more complex than the way the society within it is framed and understood. Both society and its rules are reductionist simplifications of a far more nuanced metaphysical process. Because we are greater than our third density consciousness, our interests are tied to a project that transcends the limitations of third density. Concepts of right and wrong cannot be rigidly clung to in every situation if we are to participate in our greater spiritual project while in third density.
It might also be contemplated that the limitations of right and wrong also serve a purpose, since they show us when we must rely on a faith-based, non-intellectual intuition or understanding in order to properly serve. Because in order to express ourselves fully we must sometimes act in ways of which society cannot approve, we can learn by being judged right or wrong at times when we might personally feel the opposite is more accurate. This builds our faith and trust in intuition, both faculties required in every constituent of a true social memory complex.
Hope that helps!
I know it sure helped me. I love your final thought. Thanks Jeremy. Really fully of wisdom and hugely insightful.
