It seems after some exposure to other spiritual schools and systems that a spiritual kind of ethics is missing.
There are so many spiritual movements that speak about 'a learning', 'a journey', 'neither right or wrong', 'all in the universe', 'the flow', 'what feels natural' etc.
But what of an ethics, they seem not to have a really clearly defined set of ethics. Yet the principles and laws of any ethics are always clear...
They really don't like abiding by an ethics. A loose or looser kind of ethics yes, they are comfortable with that and talk about that, but who can guaranteee the sincere seeker that that looser kind of ethics is the ethics of the path or an ethics sufficient enough to walk the one secret path back to the Inner Being?
Ethics may seem to be so rigid...
Often that perception that ethics is rigid produces an unpleasant feeling of restriction: "I can't do that, what?". Most of the time it is an egoical desire that wants to do that anyway...we may know that or we may not know that...
What is the real freedom? The freedom to do what the ego or essence or anything in us wants to do? Some may say yes and of course it is. But a realer, deeper freedom is one where you can chose not to suffer! And you don't suffer!
Mind you if what we chose caused suffering or an imbalance we will suffer if not now but later...
In some tantra schools there is the knowledge of transmutation and practical techniques to do it, but little of ethics.
There is the thinking: "what is free is right, and less ethics means freedom, there is no right or wrong only energy, therefore less ethics is good and the right comfortable way" - "everything is all ok, transmute mostly but losing some is ok". If you are a man you can enjoy a few different women etc. there's nothing wrong with that". But who can say such a method or way will lead one to the freedom in the long run?
I think anyone with a bit of knowledge of the esoteric teachings can see that when the Real Being is free from karma then comes more of the real freedom...
Being free to do what you want completely and then win the abyss and continue to try and do what you want is not freedom, because in each of moment we spend in the abyss we are losing life. Just like when are identified and we descend into our abyss we are not free and we are losing the enjoymernt of our real life free as an essence.
