Ethics is an essential dimension of Integral practice—and for many good reasons. We act ethically in order to live in a society where everyone is encouraged to obey some important common rules. Ethics is an expression of enlightened self-interest—we act ethically in order to steer clear of negative karmas. A sense of expanded identity can inspire ethical behavior. Ethics is also a container for higher consciousness. Even if you can see through “dream” of samsara, ethics keeps the dream from becoming a nightmare. Finally ethics is how we take adult responsibility for a world that seems run by “adolescents with guns.”
