Energy Spirituality® Ethics. Not to put too fine a point on them, but let’s consider our most important ethical standards.
Energy Spirituality® Ethics. What connection have they with you? Whether as a student or client, a reader, a commenter at this blog???
Also, what are Energy Spirituality Ethics for me, Rose Rosetree, the founder of this field? Of course I’ll share that here as well.
Together let’s explore state-of-the-art ethics for all the specialties in this field.
Finally, don’t miss the last section of this article. It could matter considerably for your success, your personal growth, your karma.
First of All, VICTORIA Set this Conversation in Motion
Today Energy Spirituality® Ethics came up in a brilliant series of blog comments. VICTORIA contributed some important words of wisdom. Here, at “FAME KARMA Aura Readings to Celebrate 118,000 Comments“! (Especially see her Comments #46-48.)
Recently we’ve had some well-meaning comments from curious readers. Only it turned out to be speculation about WHY. And the generalizations requested were none of our business. Altogether, an educational sequence of ideas for us here. For example:
From VICTORIA
For those actors with acting skills and talents, I wonder what kind of impact the constant change all the way through to the level of one’s chakra databanks, would have on the actors over time?
I imagine the characters’ and actors’ sense of self is drastically different from one another.
My Response
It’s so evident from your comments here, VICTORIA, that you’re looking at actors with more discernment now. Wonderful shares from you!
Regarding with your Comment #23, “I wonder what kind of impact etc.”
Don’t wonder, please. Don’t conjecture. Each person’s story is individual.
From JANICE HOOPER
Your observation that people with Fame Karma tend to marry people with a similar degree of fame is interesting.
My thought is that that would be related to finding Fame so very important, a be-all end-all… so if someone isn’t famous, they’re sort of a nobody and not worth marrying.
Do you think that’s right, Rose?
My Response
Please don’t conjecture about WHY what is… is. Let’s leave that to the pop psychologists and the philosophers.
Enlivened by this discussion, I got to thinking…
What Are My Current Ideas about Energy Spirituality Ethics?
Exactly that, no more and no less, will follow in this article. Together we can consider one context for ethics at a time.
Taking that into consideration for your own ethical standards? Good idea. Of course, that would be up to you.
For sure, feel free to COMMENT below with any questions. Or but-but-buts.

In general, there’s a lot to this fast-growing field. Ethics help us to maintain a High Truth Value. Given that I aim to bring more truth into my life and the lives of all who are interested, hello! Both ethics and truth matter enormously.
Easy and Simple — Ethical Use of What You Learn from Chakra Databanks
When you read aura readings at this blog, you can learn a ton of info about a public figure’s chakra databanks.
- An ethically FAIR takeaway is to comment on the info at that chakra databank.
- You might also place that info into the context of what that chakra databank’s about: Easy to find, since every chakra databank has a name about something related to human life.
- An ethically UNFAIR takeaway is to conjecture WHY Shia had what he had.
- Or what it means for other people, WHAT was found in that chakra databank.
- Or how Shia “needs to improve himself.”
For example, suppose you were browsing here, at “Fame Karma of Claire Danes.” At Comment #1467, researching actor Shia LaBoeuf’s Heart Chakra Databank for Emotional Self-Awareness. Using a screenshot taken while he is acting, playing a movie role as Padre Pio, hello! The quality of this chakra databank, for him, goes like this:
Shia instructing himself: His feelings as Padre Pio are raw and passionate. Great faith! Great tenderness!
Ethically Speaking, Our First Pair of Possible Takeaways
ETHICALLY FAIR TAKEAWAY #1.
In this chakra databank, Shia is instructing himself how to act. This is different from what skilled actors do, which is to act.
ETHICALLY UNFAIR TAKEAWAY #1.
Shia is a fraud as an actor and he should apologize to the public.
- Telling people what they “should” do because of their auras? Wrong!
- Let’s remember that the info in anybody’s chakra databanks is not conscious. Rather, it’s energetic info, subconsciously stored within that person’s aura.
- Learning about somebody’s subconscious info does not give you the right to tell that person what to do.
Ethically Speaking, Our Second Pair of Possible Takeaways
Also, ETHICALLY FAIR TAKEAWAY #2.
Wait a minute, this chakra databank is his Heart Chakra Databank for Emotional Self-Awareness. Usually the info there would involve guess what? What’s going on emotionally, in this moment. Namely, how does that person spontaneously feel?
Yet, according to this aura reading, he doesn’t spontaneously feel anything.
ETHICALLY UNFAIR TAKEAWAY #2.
Shia should work on himself and do mindfulness, so that he can feel emotions at this chakra databank. He’s got to do something. Because his Emotional Self-Awareness is obviously broken.
- Chakra databanks give us information about a particular person. Info at a particular time.
- Altogether different from deciding that we have the right to play God with that person.
- We can consider that info any way we like. But please, let’s stop short at trying to analyze why the person has that inner pattern. Also, please. Avoid giving advice to people, based on reading their auras.
- In my experience, expert energy healing can help people to do better. Both in their chakra databanks and in life. However, energy healing is appropriate only when? After a client has officially agreed to a personal session for Energy Spirituality ENERGY HEALING, or the equivalent.
Making sense? Then let’s keep going.
And if you do have questions, COMMENT below. Yay, learning!
Regarding Energy Spirituality™ Ethics for Rose Rosetree
You Know, Ethics for the Founder of this Field
Definitely, I have ethical responsibilities when bringing forth this body of knowledge. Plus, hey! During sessions, I’ve got ethical requirements too. Exactly like every Energy Spirituality Practitioner.
In order to learn about that part? Don’t consult your Magic 8 Ball. Simply check out the Code of Ethics here at this blog.
Short and sweet. However…
Due to being a website page, rather than a blogpost, you won’t find any place there to COMMENT.
However, you can definitely COMMENT below.
Only, for the Ethically Scrupulous, There’s More. Much More
Energy Spirituality Ethics shape all of our trademarked systems!
Indeed, ethical standards apply to every single one of the major ways that I serve you. Not to put too fine a point on each of these responsibilities… At least I can take out my ethical pencil sharpener and make some colorful points. ;)
- Energy Spirituality ENERGY HEALING Requires Ethical Standards
- Energy Spirituality ENERGY READING Requires Ethical Standards
- Ethics that underlie the system of Face Reading Secrets®
- Empath Empowerment® and Empath Coaching — Ethics, Ethics, Ethics
- Coaching Highly Sensitive Persons. (And Using the Energy Spirituality Sensitivity Scale)
- Enlightenment Teaching Demands a High Truth Value… and More
- Writing and Publishing Energy Spirituality Books. Any Ethics There?
- Offering Online Workshops, What Ethics There?
Expect to read about all of these topics in COMMENTS below, bit by bit. After I’ve given you Blog-Buddies the chance to add your own thoughts and questions.
Finally, How about You and Your Ethics?
Maybe you don’t think about them much. Perhaps you figure: “I’m a good person, so my ethics have to be fine.”
Quite the opposite. Might I suggest?
- Unless you purposely develop some ethical standards
- and live by them
- then, with all due respect,
- you might not be such a “good person” as you assume that you are.
- Yet there’s always hope. Each day every one of us can make a new start.
Let this Interactive Blog Help You Explore What Matters to You, What Matters Ethically
The more you Blog-Buddies share, the greater clarity can develop for each of us.
Besides, ethical questions are fascinating.
- For instance, do you tell the truth to others? How about to yourself?
- Once you commit to truthfulness as an easy way of life, this need not be complicated.
- Besides, how can you claim to be an ethical person without telling the truth?
Your thoughts?
Harsh — and totally optional — ethical expectations do…
make the idealist’s life more boring. As if we needed that!
Harsh — or even puritanical — ethical expectations do…
cause sad problems in relationships. Problems for the idealist, which is pretty darned ironic.
I think some good ethics might be:
-Don’t steal – unless there is really good reason.
For example, I once did something that someone very, very strict and harsh might consider stealing. From my perspective it was for my own personal survival and didn’t cause any harm except minor inconvenience.
It’s not a way of life, but a one time thing.
Situational ethics! ANNA PATRICIA, you’ve just given a superb example of that.
Unusual situations can call for exceptions to our own ethical rules, and no harm is being done.
Self-actualized people do allow for situational ethics, rather than living with what?
Rigid righteousness? ;)
-Also with things like office supplies, work phone, time off – my company’s official policy is generous and lenient with this.
For example, you can use your work phone as your personal phone, if you want.
Some people do and skip having a phone bill!
We also have unlimited sick time.
Smart, when your company treats employees like adults.
Enlightened self-interest, I’d call that. Most employees who are treated like adults will give their best work as a result.
As for those workers who take advantage of liberal policies from management, those workers will probably slippery-slope themselves into losing their jobs for cause.
At least, that’s what I suspect can happen sometimes.
-I did experiment with giving myself a hard time over some of these rules and being more strict with myself than the company or my manager even asked me to be.
But I’ve stopped that because it wasn’t at all reasonable.
My company holds a high bar for how much you deliver. It’s brain work. For that to be sustainable you need time off and nice things to support you!
Good points all! Thanks, ANNA PATRICIA.
What a fascinating subject to bring up ethics, Rose.
I like your suggestion of making a list of personal ethics.
It reminds me of your suggestion to me to make a list of rules to live by.
I never thought of that as an ethics list, but it it.
Taking the time to think about what to include on that list and how to word it is beneficial.
Then I can use the ethics list as a good reference point to make a list of what to say or do in certain situations. Which is really helpful as many times I think of something I could have done or said in the situation way after it happened.
This set of comments, VIOLET, is nicely studded with insights.
Reminding me of a really good chocolate chip cookie. To me, by definition, a really good cookie of that kind is going to have a LOT of big-and-tasty chocolate chips.
About this part: “many times I think of something I could have done or said in the situation way after it happened.”
Look, no amount of list making will keep that from happening. One cause is having a bunch of STUFF in one’s aura, causing that revisiting process.
Also possible?
You’ve just been learning from your experiences. A good thing, right?
Test
But what if you don’t think or feel that you’re learning?
Then I’d recommend a session or more of Energy Spirituality ENERGY HEALING.
Thanks, Rose. I’m relieved that you also believe in situational ethics.
I think sometimes black-and-white ethics can be used to hurt good people. As we’ve seen in this thread!
Hurt and hobble them, making them less effective in life, including against people who don’t care much about ethics at all!
Thank you, Rose. Glad you liked what I said. I love this discussion. I have been wanting to learn more about ethics, and now I am.
So true, ANNA PATRICIA: Thinking people, especially thought leaders, do not need to hold tightly to black-and-white values.
Situational ethics are better all around.
Plus, I think it’s worth noting that the very rigid, black-and-white values that limit folks today may often have their origin where?
Coming from Age of Faith traditions, whether religions themselves or that very rigid-and-righteous mindset as a process.
Incidentally, for those of you who have a copy of “Seeking Enlightenment in the Age of Awakening,” remember this? There’s an entire chapter devoted to “Process Versus Content.”
So helpful to read, or reread, in the context of ethics!
Although this is just one chapter, and not something you’d pay extra for if you buy “Seeking Enlightenment in the Age of Awakening”…since it’s totally included.
Nonetheless, this particular chapter has the force of a whole book in itself.
I can’t begin to summarize the gist in a blog comment.
Reading that chapter is the way to go, if you’d like to understand something mega-important for living well ethically now. Now, in the Age of Awakening, when we can definitely choose situational ethics.
Thank you, Rose, for the Comments #265-294.
This idea about emphasizing objective reality, rather than following people down their “personal rabbit holes” is very rich in learning and growth for me.
I find every time I read about it, or hear about it, from you, it’s a bit like I’m hearing it for the first time. I’ve grown in this way, for sure, but still each time is a wake up call.
Regarding the example you gave, luckily, I haven’t encountered this kind of thing at work much.
The only recent example I can think of is a colleague who broke her back and is still getting her work done.
But that’s not what you’re talking about here – she had something actually happen, not a subjective “rabbit hole”.
I’ve had this a bit more in my personal life. People not showing up to things (not my events, but mutual events they had committed to).
I certainly note it.
Excellent comments, OSCAR MANUEL, and in particular I thank you for the excellent example you’ve given of the work colleague who literally broke her back. (Hope she heals fully and completely.)
When folks go down their personal rabbit holes, they can feel righteous about unethical or selfish actions.
By contrast, an ethical individual recognizes EXCUSES for what they are. The passion folks can work up, especially through repetition, does not make excuses valid.
For instance, people not showing up to mutual events they had committed to.
It’s wimpy. It’s weak. Although the no-shows may wallow very convincingly to themselves, so caught up in their own excusese and self-justifications.
Better to do a reality check. Maybe ask oneself, “Did I commit to this event or not? Did I commit in objective reality? Then the right thing to do is to go.”
Showing up for others is about more than how we happen to feel in the moment.
Oh, Comments #325-329 were such an a-ha for me!
That this (situational ethics versus rigid ethics) is related to process versus content. Yes! If you just stick to the content of black-and-white ethics, the process of actually being truthfully, deep down ethical might not be there. And that real-deal process is what I care about. Thanks, Rose!
Content matters, but pushing and shoving yourself – or blanking or dulling yourself out – to serve some old, dead Age of Faith content — ouch. Sad.
Thanks, Rose. Oh, you’ve reminded me of a time when I didn’t go to something I committed to and made excuses for myself. Whoops.
Well, recognizing when people make excuses for themselves doesn’t preclude compassion. I’ll do better now.
OSCAR MANUEL, how wonderful, every golden word in your Comment #340!
All of us are learning. Your intrepid self-honesty helps you to grow just beautifully. And I also love how you ended that comment: “I’ll do better now.” Wonderful!
Thanks, Rose. I appreciate all your help.
Yay, team that has OSCAR in it!
JANICE HOOPER, thank you for your Comment #325.
