Ethics

Ethics is the natural expression of inner coherence — the alignment between awareness, truth, and action.
It is not a code or rulebook, but the living rhythm of cause and effect perceived through awareness.

In Stillhouse philosophy, ethics is the instrument of coherence that restores natural balance when it has been lost.

It arises organically from integration, not instruction. Moral systems attempt to legislate this alignment from the outside; ethics simply reveal it from within.

Where morality seeks obedience, ethics seek understanding.
Where morality enforces control, ethics restores coherence.

Ethics are therefore situational, fluid, and self-regulating — a mirror of one’s internal integrity rather than conformity to external law.

Ethics are not learned through punishment, but remembered through awareness.
