Expressed Ethics tell us WHAT TO DO to fulfill Ethics Statements.
Viewing the illustration on page 11, Expressed Ethics are the living expression of a logical development from the three secondary value-emotions of empathy, compassion, and “Love.”
Expressed Ethics, as being fair, transparent, and honest for example, are the ethical principles that individuals, families, companies and corporations, and public agencies practice to avoid jeopardizing their personal and social integrity and to improve those relationships.
The Beneficent Synergism of the Seven Values. Expressed Ethics serve the givers and receivers who have chosen a positive way of life. Expressing them with others creates a synergistic reward system of positive thinking and speaking that develops trust and confidence in others while reducing isolation and feelings of exclusion.
Values, Moral Definitions, Ethics Statements, and Expressed Ethics offer a synergism that supports the development of functional, socially sustainable families, communities, societies, and organizations of all types and sizes, and functions. The validation for their effectiveness is the smooth operation and functioning of individuals, families, organizations, and have been proven to improve the profit margin and effectiveness of companies and corporations.4

Expressed Ethics tell us WHAT TO DO to fulfill Ethics Statements.
Expressed Ethics demonstrate “other-interest” contrasted to self-interest that we see all too often. The great spiritual teachers, masters, and avatars always taught their students other-interest Expressed Ethics. They are evidence of personal mastery over the self-interest of personal preservation at any cost and the driven need for authority, power, and control.
Expressing Ethics in our personal life occurs when we are in contact with another person. For your self and for others, when you see the expression of fairness, integrity, transparency, acceptance, appreciation, validation, worthiness, deservingness, honesty, authenticity, faithfulness, discretion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, nurturance, and vulnerability you are witnessing the very best elements of being human for each secondary value.
When everyone uses Expressed Ethics in all situations, then world peace would not only be possible, but would exist spontaneously! We can survive, but to achieve peace, we must accept the equality of others as we do ourselves. Equality is the key to peace — in our families, neighborhood, cities, and nations. Equality is the primary value, after life itself, that is the tendon of social existence that holds everything together. No equality, no peace.
The Expressed Ethics For the Four Primary Values

Life — The Ultimate Value
Ethics Statement: Protect and give value to all life (Buddhist). Take the life of other species only for your meals. Do not to take the life of species for sport, or to sell protected species. Do not create more life that will infringe on the life, quality of life, growth, and equality of others. This means to procreate only enough children to replace you when you die.
Expressed Ethics: Acceptance, validation, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, and vulnerability for example.
Equality
Ethics Statement: Treating others as you would your self means that you do not treat others less than your self. The value of others is equal to that of your self – act accordingly. The importance of this value is that others are not excluded from consideration, and from opportunities to grow and to improve their quality of life.
Expressed Ethics: To appreciate Equality at the roots of our humanity that emanate from our DNA, Expressed Ethics tell us “what to do” at the most basic level to fulfill “Equality.” When we see the expression of fairness, integrity, transparency, acceptance, appreciation, validation, worthiness, deservingness, honesty, authenticity, faithfulness, discretion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, nurturance, and vulnerability we are seeing the expression of our humanness at its very best that supports the equality of others, and our self.
Growth
Ethics Statement: Assist others to grow into their innate potential just as you would do for your self. Show others, as you are able, to recognize the opportunities that may be of assistance to them to grow and improve their quality of life.
Expressed Ethics: Fairness, integrity, transparency, acceptance, appreciation, validation, worthiness, deservingness, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, nurturance, and vulnerability are a few that support the growth of others.
Quality of Life
Ethics Statement: See others as an equal of your own life to know how to support your efforts to develop their innate potential to grow to improve their quality of life as you would for yourself. When making decisions or writing policies and laws put your self on the receiving end to see how you would react, and adjust the parameters of your decisions accordingly.
Expressed Ethics: Fairness, integrity, transparency, acceptance, appreciation, validation, worthiness, deservingness, honesty, authenticity, faithfulness, discretion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, and vulnerability support the quality of life of others, and our self.
The Expressed Ethics For the Three Secondary Values
Seven Values ➔ Moral Definitions
➔ Ethics Statement ➔ Expressed Ethics
Expressed Ethics apply equally to the three Secondary Value-emotions because Secondary Values act together in people who are fully human.
The Secondary Values are “value-emotions” and the “activators” for Expressed Ethics. Empathy and compassion are so much in alignment that they become the expression of “Love” towards others generally, and for all of humanity. Their attunement is such that Expressed Ethics apply to all Ethics Statements.
Because empathy and compassion are innate to our being, their power to motivate us occurs when we feel their urge to come to the assistance of others. The secondary values truly are at the heart and soul of our humanness, and are the measure of our humanity. With these three secondary values, we see our self as one with all others, not separate from them.
The Graces of Expressed Ethics

➔ Expressed Ethics ➔ The Graces of Expressed Ethics
The Graces of Expressed Ethics (TGoEE) is the fifth stage in the logic-sequence that provide the élan of social interaction. These take the form of being kind, considerate, caring, confident, generous, meek, mild, modest, strong but humble, thoughtful, patient, tolerant, positive, and friendly for only a very few of many possible examples. These are not necessary to be moral or ethical, but provide a “grace” to ethical living. People who express these graces are always noticeable because they are not pretentious, but have a confident joy of life that cannot be ignored.
When you see your self expressing this level of ethics naturally and easily, you have achieved a state of personal evolution similar to that of the masters who have shown up and initiated the great spiritual traditions. In their bare essence, practicing them allows us to move from simply doing things in our life to being all of the Expressed Ethics. It provides for the movement of our evolution from living as a human-doing, to a human-being, being at peace, confident, and humbly self-assured.
The further refinement of the Graces of Expressed Ethics are the various forms of social etiquette in every culture, some being more evolved that others.
A Discussion of Proactive Morality and Ethics
Proactive, positive, and constructive social evolution will occur simply by using the proactive moral and ethical definitions and statements provided in the last 18 pages. Their widespread use in any society will provide a powerful passive universal and timeless standard for moral and ethical behavior that will eventually become a new “common law” that is useful to all people of all societies. Their simplicity provides an easily used guide for all of individual, private, corporate, political, and governmental decisions that affect their customers, patients, clients, and the public in which they provide their services and products. These values, and their moral and ethical definitions and statements have always provided an innate base of law that is common to all people of all races, cultures, ethnicity, nationalities, and genders.
These values and attendant morality and ethics fill the yawning gap where there are no proscriptive laws to restrict the vast breadth of unethical and immoral behavior. In the case of the executive decisions of Wells Fargo and Volkswagen it is unlikely there were any laws with punitive sanctions for their legal teams to caution against the executive’s self-serving decisions.
The executives of both corporations, and many others that have made similarly self-serving decisions, violated the minimal moral standard, (page 57), by not having a moral justification for their decisions:
● No organization shall diminish or impede the social sustainability of another organization, individual, or association of organizations without moral justification.
For Wells Fargo executives, their decisions and actions were highly unethical on many terms. For Volkswagen executives, their decisions and actions were highly immoral by putting the lives and health of not only their customers at risk but also those of the publics in the states and nations where their products are sold. Using the seven values and attendant morality and ethics, the moral and ethical basis for litigation against these two corporate giants would be almost self-evident, allowing the courts to set sanctions against them that are commensurate to their conduct that has affected the lives of many thousands, if not millions, of individuals and the public.
