Those, who like myself, are on a protracted search for Secular Ethics are in good company. While at present only the Dalai Lama seems to stress the need for such, the search to inspire people to accept ethics rather than the rule of law, goes back to Moses, (Hebrew Moshe)
around 13th century BCE. At the time, Moses was attempting to liberate his people from the pantheon of some 2000 gods which the Egyptians held in great esteem.
Since then, things didn't get better. While Yeshûa, later known as Jesus, tried vainly to convince people that the only divinity exists within them, ("...the Kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21), we chose to completely ignore Him. We not only expelled God from our "vicinity", but raised Him upwards (downwards in Australia?), somewhere above the clouds, where we can't see Him, nor, apparently, from where He can't see us. In addition, this imaginary divine entity was given human traits, not to mention weaknesses, such as judgement which, according to Yeshûa we should avoid at all costs.
Why?
Because Karma is part of the immutable Laws of the Universe, rendering judgement by individuals quite redundant.
In our dismal refusal to take responsibility of our actions, instead "the God within", we decided to substitute mostly the Egyptian, later Greek, Norse, Chinese, Hindu, Slavic and other gods for a plethora of items we now, quite obviously, worship more than any invisible divinity.
Our blind leaders have shown us the way. But contrary to Moses who made a list of 10 rules of ethics which would not only enhance but assure a happy life on Earth, our present leaders took a very different direction. Power became number one deity. They also soon discovered that money, no matter how it was acquired, served to gain and maintain such power. Every act, no matter how ignominious, justified those two laws of present day deities.
Money & Power.
Yet, contrary to Moses' let alone Yeshûa's directives, those two modern substitutions for imagined deities led only, solely, and exclusively, to the depth of corruption. It led most of the practitioners of the new "religion" to be responsible for persistent robbery, (invariably steeling from the poor); mass murder, by destroying all who refuse to be robbed; and resorting to living a life of personified liars. After all, a politicians are expected to be tactful. And, to quote Winston Churchill: “Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.” And politicians, in order to be reelected must use tact. Truth is a forbidden no-no. It is quite evident that, with very few exceptions, lies and only lies are the guiding light of our leaders of today. They spread this disease to all areas under their control.
We forgot Moses, Yeshûa, and the Few that showed us the light.
Instead we, the all-knowing fools, voted for our confirmed liars.
However, I have good news for all.
There is no punishment nor reward.
The Age of Aquarius will stimulate Karma into play. Those who abused the Universal Laws will pay their debts, i.e.: restore balance. Those who discovered Heaven within their Consciousness, will rejoice.
After all, the ancients told us that we are gods.
I believe them. I'm already in Heaven. It's all around me. I am surrounded by miracles. I call it Paradise. You're welcome to join me.

there are five more brief interpretations of ancient teaching that may
clear up misunderstandings of today. You'll find them on my webpage. They are my
ongoing search for Secular Ethics.
If you read them, you'll be halfway to the "Promised Land"!
