Tertium-Organum-by-P-D-Ouspensky

his own morality
and moral preachings a man forgets the 
aim of
moral 
perfection, forgets that the aim consists in knowledge. He begins to see the aim in 
morality itself.
Then there takes place an 
a priori
division of emotions into good and 
bad, 'moral' and 


'immoral'. At the same time, a correct understanding of the aim and significance of 
emotions is completely lost. A man is engrossed in his 'goodness'; he wants all the 
others to be as 'good' as himself or as the remote ideal he sets himself. The result is 
enjoyment of morality for the sake of morality, or a kind of moral sport - exercise of 
morality for morality's sake. This stops all thought. A man begins to be afraid of 
everything. Everywhere, in all manifestations of life he begins to see something 
'immoral', threatening to cast him or other people down from the height to which they 
have risen or may rise. He develops a highly suspicious attitude to other people's 
morals. In the heat of proselytizing, wishing to spread his moral views, he begins to 
regard with definite enmity all that is not in accord with his morality. All this becomes 
'black' in his eyes. Starting from complete freedom, he very easily convinces himself, 
by means of a few compromises, that it is necessary to fight against freedom. He 
already begins to admit a censorship of thought. A free expression of opinions opposed 
to his own seems to him inadmissible. All this may be done with the best intentions, 
but we all know very well what it leads to. 
No tyranny is more fierce than the tyranny of morality. Everything is sacrificed to it. 
And, naturally, nothing blinds one more than such a tyranny, such a 'morality'. 
And yet humanity needs morality, but of quite a different kind - a morality based on 
real
data of higher knowledge. Humanity is passionately seeking it and perhaps will 
find it. Then, on the basis of this 
new morality 
a great division will take place, and the 
few who will be able to follow it will begin to rule the others, or will go away 
altogether. In any case, owing to the new morality and the forces it will bring in, 
contradictions of life will disappear and the biped animal, constituting the majority of 
mankind, will no longer be able to pose as man. 
The organized forms of intellectual knowledge are: 
science,
based on observation
calculation and experience, and 
philosophy, 
based on the speculative method of 
reasoning and deduction. 
The organized forms of emotional knowledge are: 
religion
and 
art. 
Religious 
teachings, taking on the character of 'cults' and thus departing from the original 
'revelation' upon which they were founded, are entirely based on the emotional nature 
of man. Majestic temples, the gorgeous vestments of priests and clergymen, the pomp 
of religious rituals, processions, sacrifices, singing, music, dances - the aim of all these 
things is to incite a certain emotional state, to evoke in man 


certain definite feelings. Religious myths, legends, stories of the lives of gods
and saints, prophecies, apocalypses, when they lose their original purpose of 
serving knowledge, pursue the same aim - they all act on imagination, on 
feeling. 
The purpose of all this is to give man a 
God,
to give him 
morality, 
that is, 
to make accessible to him a definite knowledge of the hidden side of the 
world. Religion may deviate from its true aim, it may serve 
earthly
interests 
and aims. But its origin lies in the search for truth and for God.
