We are partially spiritual beings, we can partner with divine power (God) or demonic power. Fallen spiritual beings may lend humans their power, but they are the ones that demand child and blood sacrifices. They are bad gods to serve.
I believe that we are spiritual beings at our core; our bodies are instruments and are not us; our bodily senses fool/blind us into believing this but meditation bears out this truth in time. This is the Law of One at work.
All is One, and quantum mechanics are starting to also bear this out but good/evil are sides of the same "coin" both existing and not existing based on collective observation all happening within this same shared reality.
You're onto something given that we're here to exercise free will but I don't believe the choice is between good/evil; it's a choice of service: to self, or to others.
Service to self requires manipulation of others to achieve this while infringing on their free will, whether they are aware or not. I believe that this generally creates what we know as "evil" as well as how we ended up with an "elite" ruling class over time. This doesn't make the perversions/distortions any more palatable, but still provides a frame of reference in which these heinous acts can, and do, exist. This represents the negative pole of our duality.
Service to others is the path of least resistance because you're squaring and compounding efforts in service to each other, in a sort of cooperative effort [co-creation]. This, I believe was our natural state of being, and one I think more and more people are starting to realize, myself included. This represents the positive pole in our dualistic reality.
Anyway I appreciate your input and need to try and reel in my spiritual ranting lol. In any case thank you!
You have interesting thoughts. I think we have similar ideas. But idea of good and evil also has a Law, and it is certainly related to service or kindness to others. Because truly the idea of good and evil in Christianity very much relates to serving yourself or serving God. Serving God is relying on a set of standards that require thinking beyond self and honoring others. To sin is directly to “wrong” or hurt someone else. God’s character and morals rely very strongly on relationship. That’s why it’s not really supposed to be “rules“, by a condition of the heart or spirit in attitude. That attitude is flexible but not morally ambiguous. God is to be worshipped because He is the perfect being doing that. You can watch His character throughout history, He offers a lot to humanity and they often scorn Him and upset Him with their evil choices, but because He values free will and relationship, it’s something He’s willing to work out and teach. God bestowed other beings (us) the right and choice to rule a domain as a reflection of Him.
I encourage you to keep learning about theology and spirituality. I think you would be thought provoked and entertained by these:
