HomeRevolutionary Ethics
Every place the Master writes the word, and what he sets it against
Samael Aun Weor · six books · 1950–1977
Thirteen books were searched word by word for ethics, ethical and ethically. The word appears twenty-two times, in six books. Seven books do not use it once — among them The Great Rebellion, which is about nothing else but the revolt against the ego. Those seven are named at the end.
Every passage below is his own, cut from the source by its own opening and closing words — never retyped. The sentence carrying the word is given with whatever stands beside it in the book, so it can be read aloud without a running start.
Where the scan has damaged the printing — a dropped full stop, a stray space — the reading is given plainly, so the page reads and prints clean. Every such repair is recorded in the project notes with its place in the book.
Morals Do Not Have Any Essential Value
Fundamental Education, 1970 · Chapter 18 — Truth
Morals depend on the time, place and customs. What is moral in one country is immoral in another country, and what in one era was moral, is immoral in another era. Morals do not have any essential value, and through an in-depth analysis one finds that they are one hundred percent foolish.
Fundamental education does not teach morals; fundamental education teaches revolutionary ethics, which is what the new generations need.
Nothing to Do with Good and Evil
Fundamental Education, 1970 · Chapter 22 — Good and Evil

If the Grain Does Not Die
Fundamental Education, 1970 · Chapter 33 — Evolution, Involution, Revolution
If the grain does not die, the seed will not germinate. It is necessary, it is urgent, that the ego, the ‘I’, the ‘self’ dies, so that the man is born.
Schoolteachers and college and university professors should teach their students the path of revolutionary ethics. Only in this way is it possible to achieve the death of the ego.
To Die Is a Matter of Revolutionary Ethics
Fundamental Education, 1970 · Chapter 33 — Evolution, Involution, Revolution
The revolution of the consciousness has three perfectly defined factors: First: death. Second: birth. Third: sacrifice for humanity (the order of the factors does not change the result).
To die is a matter of revolutionary ethics and the dissolution of the psychological ego.
Balanced with a True Conscious Spirituality
Fundamental Education, 1970 · Chapter 11 — Wisdom and Love

In Tune with the Atomic Era

Something Ethical in Passing the Year
Fundamental Education, 1970 · Chapter 1 — Free Initiative
Nowadays, what is important at school is passing the year and that is all.
In the past, there was at least something ethical in passing the year. Now, there is no such ethic. Parents can secretly bribe teachers, so that even if their boy or girl is a terrible student he or she will inevitably pass the year.
Ethics Among the Subdivisions of Philosophy
Fundamental Education, 1970 · Chapter 31 — Revolutionary Psychology
Philosophy, without a doubt, despite all its divisions and subdivisions such as logic, the theory of knowledge, ethics, aesthetics, etc., is clear self-reflection, mystical cognition of the Being, the basic functioning of an awakened consciousness.
Without an In-Depth Ethics
The Revolution of the Dialectic, undated · Psychological Slavery
Times have changed and we are initiating a new Era within the august thundering of thought. A new revolutionary Ethics based on a Revolutionary Psychology is now needed.
Without an in-depth Ethics, the best social and economic formulae remain reduced to dust. It is impossible for the individual to transform himself if he does not concern himself with the dissolution of the ‘I’.
If a Man Learns to Respect Himself
The Revolution of the Dialectic, undated · Self-Reflection
Truly, therefore, the exterior image is the result of the interior image and this is irrefutable.
If a man learns to respect himself, he changes his life, not only within the field of Ethics or that of Psychology, but also within the social, economic and even political field. But we have to change. That is why I insist that identity, values and image should be changed.
Eminently Practical, Essentially Ethical

☞ Read this one before you record it. It is here because the sweep was meant to be complete, not because it has to be spoken. He names two groups in terms a listener today will hear as an attack on them, and the platforms moderate that language. Keep it, cut it, or say plainly on the recording that it is his sentence and not yours — but decide before the microphone is on.
The Decisive Factor Is Ethics
The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950 · Chapter 16 — The Elixir of Long Life
This fire will rise along the canal of the spinal column, canon by canon (vertebra by vertebra), in accordance with our moral merits.

The Silver Shield Shines Like Gold
The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950 · Chapter 8 — The Mind and the Intuition
The Silver Shield shines like gold when we practice sexual magic because millions of transformation atoms of high voltage cover it and totally transform it. Hence, the awakening of the consciousness and the aristocracy of intelligence truly arrive. Then indeed we can talk of having mental erudition and transformable ethics.
The Positive Ethics of Spirit
The Social Christ, excerpts · Chapter VII — The Mind-Heart
The individual is the first and the last of the order of all things. We need radical transformations if we want out of this bitter and painful civilization, we need to each one of us transform, and in a truly very intimate way.
We need with added urgency to establish with firmness in our mind, the positive ethics of Spirit.
When the gross worldly moral values occupy our mind, the result is hunger, destitution, war, ignorance, diseases, etc., Etc., Etc.
The Peculiar Ethics of His Character
The Social Christ, excerpts · Chapter X — The Right to Work
The poor mothers were lucky to escape this time, because in other occasions this elegant gentleman did not have scruples of any type and the peculiar ethics of his character were reinforced upon the people... he destroyed everything, and stripping the sorry fellows of whatever they sold he was going away always happy, like the bird of prey after catching prey between their sinister claws.
No Manual of Manners
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 · Radical Change
Unquestionably, it would not be possible in any way to eliminate unknown errors. It is urgent to previously observe that which we want to separate from our psyche.
This type of work is not external but internal and those who think that any manual of manners or external and superficial system of ethics can take them to success are, in fact, totally mistaken.
Morals Are the Slaves of Customs

The people of this age are not profound, they like what is superficial. They believe they can laugh at all civilizations.
Morals are the slaves of customs and the times, and are also the child of their place… it is necessary to speak of Revolutionary Ethics.
The Seven Books That Never Say It
What the sweep did not find
The word is absent from The Great Rebellion (1975), Introduction to Gnosis, Dissolving the I (1964), The Three Mountains (1972), The Perfect Matrimony (1950, ed. 1966), Igneous Rose (1954) and Magnus Opus. Each was searched twice — once plainly, then again with the spaces and hyphens stripped out, so a word broken across a page break could not hide. The absences are real.
☞ Worth knowing. The heaviest teaching on conduct in the whole library sits in The Perfect Matrimony and Igneous Rose, and neither of them uses this word at all. He carries it there under chastity, morals, virtue and duty. Searching for “ethics” finds his argument; it does not find his whole moral teaching.
