Law of Herukhuti 5th sphere of the puat

How Government and Religious Institutions may have made me skeptical about ethics, morality and spirituality..

Church: Growing up the church presents one with a number of questions that have a significant impact on life choices and how we perceive reality. My experience was that many of the most important questions could not be answers if not at all at least not in a way that could be applied. ie. Where did God come from? and Who is God? These questions actually were answered indirectly through images and stories such as the white Jesus on the wall or the white Moses walking thru the sand etc.
Once i entered my teenage years many of the unsatisfactory answers regarding God and life did have an impact of how i saw morality. In general we are taught that morality was being "GOOD" and that God would assist us if we were good but all the bad guys. ie, "Dope Boys" seem to have all the blessings, of course many of them turned out not so good but yet in still the good guys always seem to be waiting on something and never experience much or had any exciting stories to tell.

Government: The Government to me always seemed like a powerful force that could never be challenged and set all the rules of life, many of which contradicted what was taught at church. This may have influenced me in a way that placed doubt on the effects of spirituality, because the image of spiritual people was that they had to be poor (like the image of jesus) or suffering and needed help from some higher source that existed outside of themselves be it God, Jesus the Government or that "Good" Job. The result was that life was happening to people and we had little to No control over the outcome but reliant on the idea o f luck, hope and just have faith in the great pumpkin and you will be rewarded.
Ultimately these institutions presented conflicts in my perceptions, thinking and decision making and created an irresponsible approach to life.


Herukhuti: As an Adult these Institutions can no longer be held responsible for my thoughts, perceptions and understanding of myself. It is our responsibility to seek out wisdom in the most important areas of life and find ways to apply it to our daily life.

Herukhuti expresses labour and personal responsibility for actions and this applies to our work spiritually and in general life ethics.
Cause and effect has no room for reason it simply applies its justice accordingly.
