Cosmic justice

From Aware Theory

Cosmic justice deals with the question "Is length of life, pain, suffering, enjoyment, etc., fairly shared among feeling life forms, especially humans, in the universe"?

The world is full of injustice or that is the way it appears to many conscious beings (humans) for themselves and, or for others. There is no doubt much suffering and pain exists in the world. But is this all bad? It appears to be necessary for survival, and giving life forms (including humans) direction in what and how they do things. There is no doubt that it appears that some humans suffer in their lives more than others do. When life is positive enough, a shorter life seems unfair also. From the perspective of the individual person it would seem that life is not fair and as such there is little cosmic justice. Awaretheory's ideas restores a sense of cosmic justice to reality in at least several different ways without the need for supernatural concepts like gods, souls, ghosts, spirits etc. The first way is by showing how a person is more than what he experiences at one moment after another in time, or as some believe only one life time. A conscious being is everything that he will ever experience through out all of time produced by many different itobodies that produce the right physapaths that produce awarepaths with his ixperiencitness. Even though a person might be experiencing a difficult short life time now there are many potential awarepaths that he can experience that are much more positive that will average out a more even cosmic justice. The second reason is that because of the possibility of multiplicity of itobodies producing the same ixperiencitness interacting with each other, you can do either positive or negative things to different conscious versions of yourself. So bad deeds are punishing yourself, and good deeds are benefiting yourself. Good or bad deeds can be either direct or indirect. For instance, what you do today can indirectly make future versions of yourself, that may not even be alive for many years, better or worse, by destroying or improving the environment. Or you could directly shot a version of yourself making his life end or causing increasing amount of suffering for him.

A real measure of cosmic justice for a person would be a measure of the ratio of the positive awarepaths to that of the negative awarepaths in his potential total awarecontinuum with his ixperiencitness. At any one time the actual running total ratio of good to bad awarepaths, awaresections, or awaremoments, can be calculated. With the addition of actual good and bad awaremoments to the ratio, it is likely to change over time. It may nonetheless converge to a specific ratio and change very little after that.
