There are many philosophical and religious definitions of Morality. We often associate it with the choice and type of action. For example, a moral act is the choice to help a friend over watching television. It is also defined in relation to behavioral goodness. The “good” has always been considered to be ultimately a moral issue and consideration. Many religious systems have a built in moral code that is somehow connected to the religious laws and beliefs of the religion itself. Finally, there are different philosophical definitions of what is moral, analyzed by great analytical philosophers, such as Kant (in his moral imperative). However, is there really an objective morality?A true objective morality is one that transcends conventional, religious and philosophical systems, and aims at forming an “experiential” morality. What could that mean? It refers to a type of inner work or training that develops deeper Qualities that are the essence of moral behavior. Some of these Qualities are Freedom, Clarity, Compassion, Love and Gratitude. These are deeper, ontological conditions of the human mind which can be formed, consciously and then displayed into the world, as moral traits, speech and actions. The inner Quality is the true, objective condition and cause of morality.
