Ultimacy and Morality

This is from a paper I wrote on the Human Condition:


The essence of consciousness is the universal need to distinguish the parameters of morality in order to sustain individual sovereignty. Accepted distinction of right and wrong is fundamental to free decision. Objective, axiomatic moral statute is requisite to the functionality of global civility. Conscience concludes morality, but it is relative.  Innate conscience is objective, but over time it is molded by individual circumstance. Individual perception of an Ultimacy becomes the external criterion upon which an individual justifies his/her judgements of right and wrong.  It is the fundamental fountainhead from which all existence is contrived.  Religion is the means to substantiate the relationship between individual consciousness and a perceived Ultimacy. The need to believe in an omnipotent, omniscient embodiment of existence is derivative from the struggle to establish universal morality.
