1 Good v Evil Greetings to AII This particular article may be of greater interest to those of the conditioned religious folk, who have tried to seek some sensible answers to sensible questions from their particular religions, and yet, have not received any sensible answers... However, there will be many of the non-religious, who do not realise how much they have been un-consciously conditioned by mainstream society, which has in turn, been conditioned from the church teachings of many centuries... So for both the religious, and the non-religious, a read of the following words can do you no harm Good or evil... Evil or good Who is there to say what is what? It is the individual person that declares something is good or evil It is a perception of the individual to declare, bad or good It is only personal opinion only, and that changes as the person changes... Evil... From evil, we add the letter, 'D' to get the word Devil Devil, evil, bad, immoral, sin = Satan, Hell It is all made up. It is all conjecture... They are simply words made up by mankind to explain, to justify, to manipulate, to control... They are words to keep people in fear, to keep many in guilt-ridden minds... Evil and Sin. Made up?... Of course it is... A little careful thought with the logical mind can see through the veils of darkness that can be described as ignorance, to see that others have used certain words to dominate the innocent-minded beings Existence itself is Divine... Origins of everything originates from the Divine Original So where does evil come from? So where does the badness come from? So where does the sin come from? If God is all good... and God created everything... then how can evil come into existence, be in existence? How can the Christian Satan be a creation of God? How can Satan do 'battle' with God? Is God powerless against Satan?... It is impossible of course Evil cannot be born out of goodness If goodness is 100 percent, then how can something 'evil' create itself? For evil to evolve, then there must have been a start To say that God created everything, and that evil exists, and it means that God created evil, created Satan

2 If God created evil, then therefore, God is not All-Good... If God created evil, God must have evil within God must have created this evil, and then have an eternal battle with Satan This does not make sense If this is put forward to the preachers and church scholars, the reply will simply be... Have Faith. God works in mysterious ways... And if you continue with this line of thought and questioning, it means that Satan is within you! Yes, Satan is within you! You are challenging the Word of God! Of course Satan exists, it says so in the Bible Of course Satan exists, why do you think there is so much evil in the world... Have Faith in God and pray to Him for forgiveness... or else it will be Eternal Hell and Damnation for you These are the standard replies the preachers and scholars give to those who ask sensible questions These replies, these answers have been instilled into their minds... They are conditioned not to think further They rattle off these practiced words of answer to destroy querying minds... This has been going on for many centuries, and is so entrenched, it is difficult for those to escape... However, by giving these answers, they do not realise that they are actually stating... God does not know what is happening... God cannot know what is going to happen... God did not know what Satan was up to... God is helpless to stop evil... God manages a few rescues from the clutches of Satan and Evil... It is a problem... And it is also a problem and a puzzle to both Christians and the non- Christians alike... For, like it or not, believe it or not, the same limited thinking of these nonreal concepts, are fully entrenched into the minds of non-believers also... Why is this? because for many centuries, the churches were so dominant, the whole of the western world became entrenched and continue living with inherited conditioning... It will remain a problem and a puzzle until thought about... And now for a very bold statement Evil does not exist So what is evil? Evil is purely an opinion It is conjecture It is a made-up thing It has been invented, created by man to explain away certain aspects of life This will upset many, puzzle many... and make many shake their heads in disbelief... And yet, the non-christians who doubt these words, are the same ones who doubt the existence of God... and yet believe in the Devil, the hell and the evil... Yes, the mind is a very strange thing indeed... On the one hand, the mind will say, God does, or, does not exist and then, the mind will switch quickly according to certain circumstances to think that Satan does, or, does not exist... and yet, the same minds also fear the outcome of their deaths just in case either or both do exist!...

3 Only one of the two exist. Namely, God And there is no need to fear something that is All-Loving All-Understanding All-Knowing All-For-Giving... All-Good... So where does this bad come from So where does the Devil... So where does the Satan actually come from... So where does this evil come from This question has puzzled humanity for centuries... As far back as we can go, this problem has always been in the mind of the population... and the most logical solution the mind can find, is to divide existence in half to create a duality This duality states that there is good in the world, and must come from God... Therefore, the bad, the evil, must come from somewhere else... And so, the Devil was created. Satan comes into existence... The Devil becomes the scapegoat... Very handy, and very convenient for the minds of many... the minds think the problem is solved Badness and evil from Satan Goodness from God But the problem is not solved at all the problem is pushed a little further in the background... and over the centuries, the problem has been pushed further and further back until it is so well covered, so well buried, that not many take the time to think about it... Good and evil is so entrenched in our upbringing, that it is automatic reflex to call something, someone, some situation or other, 'Good or Evil'. Evil, bad Maybe one word a 'stronger' term than the other, but the root-meaning is the same... Good Evil Bad The problem may be pushed aside, buried deep, but it still remains a problem it is not solved not at all The problem is, of bad, and, good... of God, and, the Devil Certain minds, many minds think the problem is solved with the Satan and the God... however, the exploring mind, the mind that is not quite content with their life and too many puzzles, the mind that is not contaminated with conditioning and belief systems will ask If God is the Creator, then God must have created the devil in the first place... God must have created the seed of evil in the goodness to make the devil do what the religions say he does God must have created the evil, the devil, or God could not be the Creator... Evil cannot create itself out of nothing, out of pure goodness, so how did the devil happen, come into existence?... Did not God know what was happening? Is God, the Creator of everything, now powerless to do anything about it? Yes, these are the questions, the statements that are thought of, asked, and stated by the thoughtful mind... many questions in-deed, and there are, and will be, many answers given to each question and all will be rubbish answers, for the base questions are asked on a garbage, conditioned 'base' that is not true there can never be a sensible, true answer to anything that has a lie as its foundation A little backtrack is necessary to find out where these foundations of the Satan actually came into western life...

4 The basic problem, is of the illusion of good and bad Christian theology, Mohammedan theology, Zoroastrian theology = A big problem... For the Christians and the Islamic, the Devil will always exist. The devil will always be an enemy of God. Satan will always be an adversary of God... It is beyond their thinking, beyond their theology, beyond their faith to have any other choice... It is compulsory for them to believe in the Devil As far as they are concerned, the Devil has always been there The Devil was originally an angel who rebelled against God and continues to do battle with God ls this explanation in the their Holy Book? Of course not, but it is a handy tale to tell, to explain away this thing called the evil It was Satan in disguise of a snake at the Garden of Eden... Their reasoning, their theory, their ideas, their invention states that it must have been the Devil... for who else could it have been? The Garden of Eden has to be taken as literal to become a 'proper' Christian, and if a person queries why God allowed Satan into the place of all goodness in the first place, the answer is quite standard... Have faith God works in mysterious ways. Just believe us. We know best. Now shut up and pray to God for forgiveness for having any doubts about His works... It is beyond the comprehension for many, especially those of the religions, to realise that God is all Good... and therefore no evil can be in existence. It is beyond the limited minds to realise that the devil was an idea formed by the followers of Zoroaster some 2,600 years ago for this is when the theology, the teachings, the ideas of when good and evil were first formed Before this, God took responsibility, took the 'blame' for the floods, for the disasters, for the famines... and after this period, when the Jews were in exile, they became under the influence of Zoroastrian thought and ideas And for the exiled Jews, after many decades of trudging through the desert, it was all too easy to adjust their thoughts to the idea of using a Satan as a scape-goat It is well worth the look at what a standard encyclopedia states about Zoroaster... Zoroaster, about BC. Persian prophet and religious teacher. Founder of Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism, a pre-islamic Persian religion founded by Zoroaster and stall practiced by the Parsees. The theology is dualistic... Ormuzd, who is the Good God, is in conflict with Ahriman who is the evil God... but the good God is assured of victory... The return of Zoroaster will presage the resurrection of the dead and the creation of a Paradise on earth The free choice of good or evil renders the believers responsible for their fate after death in Heaven or Hell.. These words will seem quite familiar to many who have had words of sin, guilt, evil, satan, hell, devil and other such words, into their heads by those of conditioned religion... A simple reading of encyclopedia and books of history will endorse the words about Zoroaster and the great influencing of the Western world... As a by-word, it is interesting to note, that the original Bible, the Judaic, the Old Testament, does not endorse the Satan and to this day, the tribulations of the world lay at the hands of the God This is one of the many reasons that Judaism and the off-shoots of Islam and Christianity, will always be in conflict...

5 For all, to free their minds of the shackles of conditioned belief systems is quite advantageous to think for their-self and throw of inherited shackles of religious and nonreligious beliefs most advantageous Back to the origins of the good and evil Good God - Evil God This idea or Zoroaster took on quite well, and by the time of Jesus some 600 years later, the devil, Satan and evil spirits were quite entrenched in the minds and hearts of that part of the world The New Testament took this idea further and conjured up greater ideas and images As the years passed, artists got on band-wagon and nowadays, we see the graphic images and details of Hell... It was not only artists who were the television sets of the day, for the story-tellers, the writers and scribes, not wanting to miss out, conjured up the most horrifying images to put into words that their minds could dream of... So easy to scare the shit out of youngsters of an early age, and no wonder so many are scared to think for themselves... These terrible images and words are not limited to the religious, for many, if not most persons reading these words, have been exposed to this made-up idea of Hell and Satan... It is instilled in most beings from a very young age and stays entrenched until careful thought with an unconditioned mind is applied The devil is conjecture, an opinion, an idea. It is a convenient way of explaining away evil... so let it be known, now Evil does not exist Satan does not exist For those who do not believe in God, and who state evil does exist... then they are endorsing the idea of Satan existing. Therefore, they are also stating the existence of God... Unconscious statement of fact... Unrealised statement of fact... You cannot have it both ways... You cannot state that Satan exists and God does not... Too many do not think clearly... Too many do not think at all... Too many spout words they have been taught, have learnt from others The unbelievers of God see something that they consider as bad, or, maybe commit an act which has been classified as bad by others... They secretly or openly acknowledge that evil exists... however, what they do not realise, is that acknowledgment of evil, is confirmation of Satan... However, the mind will then refuse to acknowledge this logic, and definitely refuse to endorse God existence... Hmmm, a big puzzle for many... But it is not a puzzle for the inquiring mind that is clear from conditioned belief systems... Good and evil? Evil exists in your interpretation, not in itself Many call it bad because they cannot understand it... Many,call it bad because they are disturbed by it And yet, it is simply your attitude, your perception, that makes something appear bad or appear good

6 There is no evil Evil cannot exist Only God exists... and God is Divine God is 100 percent Divine with no possibility of even a droplet of evil being present... Good or Evil? Who is there to say, what is what, who is who? Who is there, to declare who is good, who is evil? Who is there, to declare what is bad, what is good? If something, if someone is classified as evil, then what right does anyone have to think they know more than God, more powerful than God... God accepts all... created all, so therefore, there is no-one superior to God, therefore, there is no-one to declare another person evil and be removed from this Earth God gives life to all. God showers Unconditional Love on all. The situation is clear. Crystal clear in fact. For God, there is no badness, no evil in or badness on the world To declare something good or bad is to have judgement God has no judgement. Jesus has no judgement. Nor do any enlightened beings have judgement To have judgement, is to compare an act, compare a deed against your own individual perception And are you perfectly right in everything you have done or thought in the whole of your life-time? Who are you to say what is good or bad? It is perception only... Judgement only What is classed as good for one person, can be classed as bad for another. Every person has classed something as good and later on, with thought, have changed their mind. Adjustments to mind re-classifies many judgements. It happens daily. or weekly or monthly. It happens all the time. One minute bad, next minute good. So therefore, was it bad before, now turned into good?... Of course not, it was simply something that happened, you had an opinion, made it, changed your mind and re-classified it The event, the situation still remains the same Another person can view the same situation with their own opinion, their own judgement they may say, bad-good evil and then change their own mind when they feel the need to change it... In each case, the event stays the same, the situation the same, and all that is being opinionated, is the particular state of the persons mind at that particular time If this is too hard to understand or comprehend, then think about it further after finishing this article Good, bad = opinion only = relative to the individual at that particular time and place... And of course, the conditioned mind, not wanting to accept or think about this further, will conjure up an extreme bad/evil opinionated situation, and scream, But what about when But if someone does What about Hitler What about Once again, it is in the eyes of the beholder to what is good-bad, ugly-pretty, slow-fast, high-low what is fast to the snail, is slow to the rabbit... what is fast to the rabbit, is slow to the cheetah...

7 Similarly, the inner-qualities of... morals and integrity alter as life changes with each individual degrees of personal honesty also change the child may take the apple from another persons tree, and not do the same as an adult, for the feeling within is different... Does this mean that the child was evil, or bad in the taking of the apple? Some may say yes, some may say no and some will shrug their shoulders to indicate it was neither, for it was an event, something that happened for the child to experience and learn... The Catholic Church alters it laws of what is a mortal sin and a trivial sin as circumstances change a sin one year, is not the same the year later Monetary punishments change as inflation grows... Many saints have been struck off their books after a thorough investigation by Vatican investigations and many do not realise that the Patron Saint of Travelers, namely Saint Christopher, is no longer officially recognised by the Vatican Church does this classify previous reasoning as bad, sinful, evil or simply an event that has happened and done with and now, it is simply time to move on with no 'tags', no judgements, placed upon that event... Back to this classification, this concept of good and bad, sin and guilt... God and Satan is simply a western idea. It is a Western concept... Time for a few words regards to this word, 'God'... The Western-world mind classifies God, portrays God as an old bearded, wise-looking-man sitting in the clouds, sitting in judgement This is simply the conditioning belief system that has been ingrained into everyone from an early age Schools have propagated this quite freely It is the perception of artists and scholars throughout the many centuries It is an attitude. A conceived idea It is an idea taken from the Bible when it states that God made man in His image That statement, taken literally by the academic literal minds, ignore many other statements that God is of a Spirit Body. Jesus states this very plainly. Quite a few times in fact... Spirit is the 'superior' energy when compared to material matter... and by the way, there is no 'judgement' of these words of description when saying, 'superior' than this, than that... not at all, it is simply a way of description, of explanation By saying 'superior', it tries to indicate that it is spirit which activates the material matter, the material body and it is not possible for matter to activate spirit. It is not possible to have a growing body without the life-spirit present to activate it God The God here, is the Whole, the One-ness, the All-That-Is... God is neither male, nor, female... and yet, both exist in the One, in the Whole... There is no duality The male-ness of God is yet another invention, it is purely an idea of the Scribes-of-Old... Male chauvinism is not a modern concept, it has always existed... Male domination has always existed for a long time now... It is of 'power'... Of 'ego' It is found within the various religions around the globe... Anywhere there is 'power-play' at work, then you will see male at the head... This is not confined to religions either, for anywhere and everywhere there is control, power-play at work, you will find the male in control... It is the 'nature' of the male. Ego, conditioning and fear of course...

8 All-That-ls. Cause-of-all-causes. Krishna. One-ness. Total. Whole-ness. God. Lord. Supreme-All. Supreme Being. Allah. Universal Consciousness. Rainbow Serpent. Nirvana. Jehovah. Buddha. Universal Love... Words to describe... simply words of explanation in the language ' of the country God cannot be limited by anything at all God means, The Whole... The Lot... The Totality of Existence... In that existence, everyone breathes the same air, enjoys the same sun-shine, the same moon-shine... the same, 'Now' There is no judgement of good or bad The only judgement in existence is within-your-own-mind Everything, is just simply, 'Is' Events and circumstances that may appear to be... of mistakes and errors of good and bad... are simply experiences and lessons... in the learning of Life and Wisdom Good Bad = Perception, Opinion, Judgement It is your-idea, your-perception, your-opinion... Your judgement in this article = your choice So Be It...
