⚖️ Ethics
A Page in Similarity Theory
By Simon Raphael
🌌 Consciousness and Transformation
Similarity Theory is not a religion, yet it provides a clear moral framework. By observing how consciousness shapes the universe, we uncover guidance for living with integrity and respect — for ourselves, for others, and for all forms of awareness.
In this view, there is no true death. What humans call death is the dissolution of the physical body, but not of consciousness. Consciousness persists, flowing into new frames of existence, inhabiting vehicles of many kinds. Some forms are highly capable, while others appear limited.
Just as a skilled pilot of a jumbo jet may choose to ride a pushbike — and even be mocked by children more adept at it — so too may an advanced consciousness choose a humble form of embodiment.
The lesson is clear: never belittle another being based on appearance, circumstance, or limitation. You cannot know who or what resides within them. The homeless person on the street, the child, the stranger — each may hold a consciousness more advanced than your own. The captain mocked on land may later command the very ship you board.
🌍 The Law of Attraction in Ethics
Similarity always draws like to like, and this law is woven through the universe:
In gravity, where planets pull one another.
In liquids, where surface tension draws drops of water together.
In chemistry, where atoms bond by shared properties.
In life, where people and animals are drawn to their kind.
This law also governs the spiritual realm. When your consciousness leaves the body, it is drawn toward that which reflects its essence:
🌊 A good life is drawn to greater goodness, like a small drop of water merging with a larger one.
🛢️ A malicious or selfish life is drawn to greater harm, like oil joining oil.
A drop of water cannot merge into oil — it will be repelled. In the same way, your actions here shape your resonance beyond. This is the true meaning of heaven and hell: not places of reward or punishment, but the natural consequence of attraction.
If your life is grounded in empathy, generosity, and kindness, you will be drawn into greater fields of goodness — resonances more powerful and luminous than your own. If your life is shaped by malice, greed, or narcissism, you will be drawn into greater fields of the same — resonances darker and more destructive than your own.
This is not judgement from outside; it is resonance. What you are, you attract. If you choose to change here, you shift your future resonance. In life, you have the option to redirect yourself toward goodness, and in doing so you alter the dimension of consciousness you will later inhabit. Whether such choice exists beyond this life is uncertain, but here and now the opportunity is clear.
🔄 Reciprocity and Persistence in Goodness
Ethics is not only about what follows after death; it is also about resonance in this life. Goodness attracts goodness. Those who steal and exploit tend to gather together, just as those who help and uplift are drawn into each other’s circles.
You may live in an unjust society and feel that your good deeds go unnoticed. If your soul is fragile, you may despair at the lack of reward. Yet Similarity Theory teaches persistence: goodness is never wasted. Even when unseen, it shapes the resonance of your being.
In time, your circle will shift. Acts of kindness align you with others of kindness; destructive acts align you with others of destruction. This is not imposed morality, but the natural law of resonance. A strong soul continues doing good regardless of the injustice around it, knowing that resonance itself is the true reward.
🛡 Responsibility of Higher Consciousness
As consciousness evolves, its power grows. With greater capacity comes greater duty. A being of advanced awareness who inhabits a humble form must act with wisdom.
When faced with ignorance, mockery, or cruelty, the higher soul recognises that most do not know what they are doing. To retaliate blindly is to descend into the same resonance.
Yet advanced consciousness also discerns when responsibility requires action. Ethics does not mean allowing all harm to persist; it means responding with proportion, wisdom, and restraint. To carry greater power is to carry the obligation to use it carefully, for creation rather than destruction.
🌱 Necessity, Compassion, and Balance
Consciousness inhabits all things — animals, plants, air, and even the chair beneath you. To say “do not eat beef because it has a soul” misses the deeper truth: grass also has a soul, and the air you breathe is alive with awareness.
Life requires consumption. The key is not denial but balance. Ethics in Similarity Theory therefore calls us to minimise unnecessary harm. Eat, breathe, build, and live — but do so with respect.
When you kill pests, do so out of necessity for health, not cruelty.
When you eat, do not waste.
When you destroy, create in turn.
Ethics is lived through balance: recognising the necessity of consumption while honouring the consciousness present in all things.
✨ Conclusion
Ethics, in Similarity Theory, is not imposed from outside but arises naturally from the law of resonance. What you are, you draw toward you. What you create, you become. To live well is to align with greater goodness — not only in this life but in the dimensions that follow.
