Morality (Walking Through Illusion, Thompson)

"You are the light you let in, the love you give, the beauty you define, and the reason you live."  Betsy Thompson

     In Thompson's book, Walking Through Illusion, she has a unique dialogue among Jesus and herself.  In the question of morality, Jesus says that he believes morality is uniquely defined in every moment of history; that each society has it's own morality to consider.  What may have been acceptable in the past may not be in today's society and vice versa.  For example women used to be seen as second class citizens and this was morally accepted, at least in public.   In today's world there are laws and punishments if a woman is not treated as an equal to her counterpart.
     Peter, the fisherman in the Bible, only knew his reality to be what he was feeling.  He was unfulfilled when he gave his fish away without enjoyment, says Thompson.  Furthermore, morally, he felt it was wrong to kill fish, a living thing on this Earth.  His illusion was that giving something would fulfill him but the reality is that his fulfillment came when he gave with enjoyment.  The only way for him to give with enjoyment is knowing that it was ok to morally kill the fish because that was the process of life, a way to continue human civilization.
     Thompson's main theme thus far is that life is a mirror to your life.  What you give out is what you get back.  What you are experiencing is what you are.  If Nate (my boyfriend) is being unloving to me it is because I am being unloving to him.  What in your life are you projecting onto others?  Morally, we all have our own beliefs and ideas on what it is.  How can we begin to see our mirrors and learn from them?
