- Truth realization versus morality : Enlightenment reveals the morally neutral nature of reality, while morality is a human-made construct that invites examination of its purposes and efficacy.
- Perceived morality in enlightenment : Enlightened individuals may seem more moral because operating from falsehoods becomes patently absurd to them. Lying and deceit are recognized as dysfunctional and irrelevant.
- Honesty as personal alignment with truth : Enlightened people strive for honesty not as a moral imperative but as a personal mandate to remain consistent with truth across all levels, including factual details.
- Freedom from self and societal motives : Enlightenment bestows freedom from selfish motivations, leading to behavior that appears moral. However, this is really an expression of authentic humanity unburdened by deceptive or selfish impulses.
