What is Ethics in itself ?
Philosophically: it is a transcendental concept. Actually a principle, an art to distinguish behaviour.
On a general plan, Ethics is universal. It is Mankind. It must be an answer to the needs and the interrogations which time sets. It isi nevitably one and multiple.
ONE, it is unifying power of the place of the word and place of the acting. Place of word, the women and the men conscious of their fragility and their transitory nature can open themselves to Ethics in order to find elements of life, safety, comfort, responsible fraternity.
The Law does not necessarily lead to Justice, Medicine to Eternity, Morals to the Good. We must act Ethique. Indeed, Ethics is also place of acting.
MULTIPLE, Ethics is polymorphic :
- Integrating citizen of a new good citizenship - in front of each right, a duty -, of social cohesion, of solidarity between generations, of cultural and economical participation.
- Legal guiding sociological morals;
- In the higher reality of life (biotechnology, human cloning, medical assistance to procreation…)
- Right of humanitary interference.
- In the natural right of environment and nature.
- The Ethics of the Tradition.
General principles and data of the Ethics, which we have just gone through, apply completely to Eric Caulier School .
The school is a united, interdependent, simple, clear group, which drink at the source of the TAIJI conceived in Ethics.
In our rough, solitary and hard time one would tend to see only the dark sides which occult its positive aspects. But let's remember that the light exists only by the shade and contrasts. That always the seasons begin again.
That it is a CLARITY to see, in Eric Caulier Taijiquan School, women and men setting reality to their aspirations and their conceptions.
The principles and the ideal of the TAIJI, the sustainable personal investment, the effectiveness and the harmony of the gesture are a primary requirement, the redistribution of the assets too.
But I keep in mind as much the concern of the teachers in what the women and the men do of their Life according to their gifts and their aptitudes, crossed efforts and supports in the circumstances of the time.
As you recognize yourselves and as you accept yourselves ones and different, you lead and you reorganize the women and the men, each and everyone of you according to EFFATA, the "Open yourself" of the ancients, Open yourself to the Spirit and to the others.
The School of Taijiquan Eric Caulier is an invaluable gift, a large thing.
There the fruits are not sold, seeds are given.
