The Chamber of Conscience, the Heart of the Creator, and The Inseparability of Existence and Ethics

Soyo's Existence Ethics (Existence itself is ethics)

Room of Conscience

Throughout my life, I have placed every emotion I have encountered along the human journey within the chamber of my conscience. At times, these emotions radiated with the golden light of joy, at others with the blue hue of sorrow, and occasionally with the silvery glow of forgiveness. As years passed, dust would settle upon them, yet I consistently brushed it away to appreciate their beauty anew in their diverse colors. One day, I found myself asking: "Who crafted these ornaments of conscience?" These were not of my own making. For them to exist within me, someone must have conceived, shaped, colored, and firmly set them in place. They embody care, love, breath, and the passage of time. I recognized who that “someone” was: the Creator who made human beings. The Creator placed within the human heart a heart like His own and breathed into it the breath of life. Thus, the human being became not merely a biological creature, but a being carrying the very heart of the Creator.

Within that heart is a chamber called “conscience,” and within that chamber rests an ornament called “ethics.” These ethics are not human inventions or social conventions. Instead, they are a gift from the Creator to humanity, a truth that cannot and must not be dismantled, for they serve as evidence that the heart of the Creator beats within the human being. Therefore, human existence and ethics are inseparable. Existence without ethics resembles a heart that has lost its pulse, while ethics without existence is like a tree without roots. Human beings must cherish the ethics placed in the chamber of their conscience, renew its light, and share its warmth with others. This is the way of living with the heart of the Creator.

Philosophical Elaboration of Soyo's Proposition

"What is ethics? What is existence? Ethics is not merely the morality that humans must observe. Ethics is the inner heart of God embedded within the human being. It is not a human creation, but a reality hidden by divine providence within the conscience. To discover and embody it is philosophy itself: the philosophy of humanity and the philosophy of love."

This proposition is uncommon in the history of philosophy, as it locates the origin of ethics not within the human self, but in a transcendent source. Whereas Kant regarded ethics as the “command of reason,” Aristotle as the “habit of virtue,” and Heidegger as “authenticity,” Soyo’s Existence Ethics defines ethics as the very heart of the Creator. Ethics thus becomes not a human invention, but a living reality: the breath of the Creator pulsing within the human conscience. Awakening to ethics is not the conclusion of philosophical inquiry, but its beginning. To live out ethics is the highest human calling and the fulfillment of love.

The Philosophy of Humanity and Love

The philosophy that Soyo’s Existence Ethics speaks of is not knowledge to be grasped only by the mind. It is the process of discovering the light of conscience given by the Creator’s heart, and of guarding that light as one lives. This philosophy begins with love, is fulfilled by love, and moves toward eternity through love. Through the ethics placed in the chamber of conscience, humanity converses with the Creator, and within that conversation, renews the meaning of existence. Therefore, ethics is not a mere norm; it is the essence of existence, the language of love, and the way of the human being who lives with the heart of the Creator. This is the truth that Soyo’s Existence Ethics offers to the world.
