Sitting on your morals

Moral order is set by the individual, every moment we are each making a decision as to what is acceptable in our actions.  These choices are not always what we would consider life changing, but they are life forming and lead us down a path of experiences that end with our last acceptable action in death.  Choosing acceptable actions is directly connected to accepting the actions themselves, as with death we must allow it to have its moment, and you need to take responsibility for the actions you choose.  You are responsible first to your own judgements, then to any judgement society places upon you if the people around you fall witness to your actions.  I wonder though, is there a way to move through life that overrides the actions of morality by placing something before each action?  

Many people see morals from the vantage point of the physical body only, they even go as far as to put love in the physical, if I love you, then your body is mine and mine is yours, our love cannot morally go beyond this.  But then children are added, and there is the extended family, starting there we see that love is not limited by this physical one to one ratio.  Putting morality as a physical label before love limits what love is and how far it can reach across the world.  

Love seems to be more like an eternal presence that reaches out to every level of existence in many forms of expression.  I see morals from the view of the soul; our connection to God puts us in a position to express love to everyone at varying degrees.  If I meet someone and we feel only the slightest bond, then we can love each other as acquaintances with little need for high levels of loves expression.  But there are people that fit me, understand me and instantly feel as though they are a part of my life for some specific reason.  These people will undoubtedly receive my love in greater proportion and in more vivid ways.  It often ends up that I cannot do anything but want to express my love towards these people at a higher level.  But this expression does not require the same level of reciprocal love to fulfill its needs, loves expression is its own gratification; though it is nice when it is returned as heartily as it is sent out, love does not require that action.  

I have much to learn of love, but It seems that letting love beyond the physical move your actions may be a good rough draft for a better design in what acceptable actions are.  Beyond the physical means taking your time; in the 1960's there was the start of the free love movement, and that had a lot of physical interaction mixed into it.  Today's front runners in the free love movement are fighting for the rights of people to express their love as they choose, without recourse to the law.  Early on people had the idea that it was all about having sex with whomever you felt an attraction for, and we see now that moving freely in those types of actions are more physically based than love based.  Psychologists have found that infatuation lasts between eighteen months and three years before it evolves into a more solid stage of love.  Knowing this we see that love takes its time, it does not just jump into the next bed to express itself, but it is not limited by one bed.  If you are in a relationship and you have had a growing connection with someone and love guides you down a path of greater physical expression, then following love can grow the wonder of your experience together.  Letting infatuation run its course after love has proven itself can be wonderful.  That does not mean that love's greatest expression is sex, it just means it can be part of the acceptable action in the experience of love and should not be limited by any rule beyond the calm steady movement of love itself.  

Love can also have great expression without sex.  Not every love affair will end with physical connection, some are meant to be mental and will last a lifetime without ever drawing two people closer to each other than a hand shakes width apart.  There are many layers to love and it will guide you; following the path of love will make every decision a moral one.  Meaning that when true love, a love for all and everything, is the guide, then there is no wrong action.  We are allowed error, but love that comes without fear, jealousy, desire or any other physical requirement will find correction and bring balance.  Love has its own rules and it will only end up breaking your heart if you do not let them guide you.

I feel that an advanced moral rule may start out like this, I  promise to love you and to allow your love the freedom of expression as you sense love moving around you.  I trust your love to make decisions that will be an expression of the truth of love from all to all.  I will love what you love, as deeply as my love guides me.  I accept love as the guide of action and will move with the energy it wraps around us all.  

Love,
