Universal truth, truth itself, and then moral truth. That is the order of the 'truths'. 'Universal truth' is that powerful precision behind the workings of the cosmos and 'truth' is what helps you keep to the straight and narrow path and avoid deceit and lies. 'Moral truths' an invention of people on earth to espouse their own goodness and elevate themselves to a position where they think they are the 'elect' and will try and convert and judge anyone they think needs some moral truth rammed down their throat.
Who is to say what is moral or not? Who sets down the laws of truth in all its forms? The truth is plain to see. Open your eyes to the truth around you, look at the clouds and the sky and nature if you can on your way to work, where if you have been party to the economic downfall of deceit, you will be promoting more moral lies to justify your ends. Money, money, money, bends the truth and somehow makes it the moral truth of your generation. Morals don't matter, they have flown out the window long ago when people saw how easily that pile of gold grows through the bending of the truth. We call that man's moral truth! As the title says moral truth is only a 'concept'. It is not reality, so it can waver and change with the way the wind is blowing to suit those who choose to bend it's flexibility.
The moral of this story is...how many times do we read that as if the moral tells us that this parable was designed to point out the flaws of people living on earth? The many U.F.O. Sightings and sometimes 'contact' have revealed to those who want to believe the universal truth of this statement is this. They have come to tell mankind the planet is out of balance and needs rectifying. They would be met with a gun, if these friendly humanoids were to step from their light ships and come to say 'greetings planet earth'. We would probably try to work out the universal truth of this paranormal experience and then would be at odds to justify it with our carefully designed moral truths, which are there to protect us. Maybe the life from out there would say, 'We have done away with such truths long ago. Where we come from there is no judgment. Truth is all round us and guides all our thoughts and actions. It is basedon the truth given us by our Creator, which is your Creator also, who longs for planet earth to accept the universal truth of existence and do away with these philosophical notions of this truth which have bent it to moral truth'.
