Good and Evil
We all have good and evil within us and are constantly choosing one or the other. This choice is one of the main reasons we are on Earth, to help us learn to choose the way of God. The Cosmic always ultimately chooses good, so to support the Cosmic purpose we need to constantly choose good.
Good and evil are not defined by rules of what to wear, how to behave, etc, but by what we choose every moment. Do we choose kindness or meanness? Do we free or enslave ourselves and others? Are we compassionate or cruel? Are we judgmental or accepting? Do we invade and manipulate or allow all souls their experience? Every person on Earth has these choices every day in thought and deed.
This choice between good and evil becomes clear with meditation. We cannot figure out good and evil with the intellect or emotions of the body. We need to turn within and clear our inner self to see clearly. Religions and other groups have presumed to define good and evil in their terms or in relation to their society. Good and evil are based on Cosmic law, not human law.
A good example of human vs God’s law is enslavement of any people in any circumstance. Religions and governments have allowed slavery throughout history and many people have chosen to follow the crowd rather than choose the good of freedom. There are many ways to oppose evil but I recommend choosing good by turning within, clearing the evil from self, and acting on your choice. Gandhi was a great teacher of non-resistance and he helped an entire nation create its freedom by choosing the good of nonviolence. The power of not fighting evil and focusing on good is immense.
Everyone affects the world. You can focus your world on good or evil by what you choose within. Choose the good in you and the world benefits. Be careful not to fight evil but to choose good because what you fight you become.
When you are struggling with your choices between good and evil, turn within with meditation to make your clear, spiritual choice. Amusement also helps you choose a beneficial path because it helps you rise above fear, and fear eventually creates evil. When you put your attention on good, you create good in this world.
Meditation is a way to beneficial choice.
