Modern evil not of a religious sense -- but more precisely that mental-emotional mythical archetype which persists in the personal meaning of sentient entities experiencing conscious injustices/aggravated assaults/and inter-dimensional malignancies -- is as evil has always been...
Though the technological tools and systematic instruments of its mechanistic global permeation have changed over time, the core ignorance and insideous creulty it represents through the beliefs and behaviors of a sentient species persists completely unchanged... And as observed many times in creation, when evil takes hold of a planet's sentient species, it is like a virus we might study whose sole purpose is to slowly or quickly devour the life-energy of a human body... And like viral infections, evil seeks to replicate itself throughout the globe via forms of data, such as ideas, attitudes, emotions, beliefs, and the power of faith. In this way sentient darkness entangles itself in all aspects of our current existence.
We may identify evil in science through observing which ideas and technologies cause suffering to the earth, it's ecosystems, creatures, insects, and humanity in general....
We may identify evil in religion and spirituality through observing how our beliefs and ideals teach us to hate and fear ourselves and one another for reasons we need not hate and fear ourselves or one another....
We may identify evil in our corrupt goverments and the legalized mafia of corporate machines by observing the way they set human beings against one another while they make a profit from the death and global carnage of their denial of moral accountability...
We may identify evil in our schools and families by observing how everyone thinks all around the issues that matter, never touching upon the core of our misunderstandings or sadness, meanwhile promoting the playing of games, competition, judgement, and fighting, dismissing the inherent worth of a living planet and self.
We may identify evil in our relationships with ourselves and eachother by observing how we deny the existence of indifference, how we shun awareness of the suffering we cause others in our carelessness, how we make constant excuses for the pain we inflict on everything around us and deny such through various means...
Human denial has allowed evil to come into existence...
Only awareness and acceptance can heal that gap of indifference which is denial, but most fear even touching upon the awareness of evil, as it is a self accounting too deep, too personal, too intense, and it wreaks of death as a teacher.... To understand human denial one needs only recognize the pride induced defense mechanisms which may spring forth at the ideas being proposed here... Surely it is a bitter pill to swallow, to hold oneself accountable for the ills of the world that no one before us wanted to recognize or heed the impending doom of... A great many completely shun there is anything wrong, they would rather breathe smog filled air than enter the unknown of change, and while they may be strangely moved by the six o'clock news, as soon as their favorite sitcom comes on, they calm back down, happy to be tucked into their slumber of corporate/governmental/societal propaganda where sarcasm and never taking oneself too seriously are common 'norms' of supposedly 'proper' attitude.
Still others seem busy playing the game, believing they are patriots, that their human jobs are important, that they have a duty to "______," and to be bothered with the supposed 'mundane details' of environmental concerns or universal moral proposals is beneath their great purpose for deity, country, corporation, and social status (...exactly what planet are they living on and being supported by?). So who are we just wanting to have a 'normal' life, the convenient ones they sell to us everyday in commercials on T.V., the ones we read about in stylish magazines, the ones we live out through fantastic hollywood movies and movie stars in a darkened theatre, together, watching, learning, thinking to ourselves, "This is not real, it's just a movie," and who is to say we do not take this attitude out into the 'real' world with us? "This is not real, it is just a dream," and how often is this heard? Too often... So who cares is the implication, if nothing is real, 'why care,' seems to be the stance, and who can blame someone for not wanting to terrorize themselves with the truth of human games? Thus the virus of ignorance and evil spreads through indifference and shunning of awareness.... and somewhere between extreme doing and extreme passivism, we short circuit, unable to figure out what to do but hope and intend towards a better us, a better now.
Highly educated men and women, people in positions of power over the worlds' commerce/education/goverance, are far too busy being proud of what they think they know to see clearly what is happening. Fooled by degrees, misled by the smug delusionary safety of vast numbers of like minded human beings, addicted to the comforts of money, power, respect, which all lends itself to illusionary creature comforts like: freedom of choice, popularity, attention, admiration, and of course - sex which leads to parenting and raising children, all of which gives one a basis of power and psychological confidence which may further delude one into believing that their way of being, their beliefs, their actions, are "right." In this sense, evil is more than some primordial abuse of instinctual triggers in the human being... In the human being it is a complete denial of fear, of truth, of anything and everything that might be felt and learned from. Without feeling the truth of being, many a galactic species has gone astray in their societal and scientific/spiritual pursuits, prematurely destroying themselves through pride and arrogance. All of which amounts to bad programming... Integrity is thus key, for even if we cannot reveal our lies and darkness -- or our confusion and despair -- to others, we must remain in integrity by admitting the full extent of our actions in any lifetime to ourselves. Yet, most human beings do not seem ready to display this sort of holistic awareness, they simply use the electricity, create garbage, drive, fly, and procreate without ever realizing the deadly effect this species is having upon the environment of the host organism, Earth/Gaia/Terra. Likewise do many fear, mistrust, and project their viewpoints and personal limitations upon reality and others, thus suppressing the truths and expressions of others as well as themselves....
Thus a true lover when finding oneself in a world of self-destruction, hopelessness, and violent ignorance or evil, is perhaps concerned with real change more than any other in existence, as it is the lovers and dreamers alike who desire for their dreams of harmony to become real -- because such is the only real setting for the love and magic of dreams to manifest within... And so it is the lover whom desires most for the world to be full of peace because peace is conducive to true love... If the world is not full of love, then it is the lover whom is compelled to seek the answer to the questions of: why not and how to.... Thus a lover must find a way to be in the world in such a manner as to not become hopeless or entranced by the drama of meaningless life paths and endeavors/ideologies/behaviors/etc. that would distract and detract from the existence of love. With a compassionate deconstructionist's attitude, the lover may adopt ideals of impermance, nonattachment, and faith in trancendental axioms of being, realizing the energetic cord connecting one's essence throughout all incarnations/present thought-forms and emotions/body type's/relationships/social standings/past experiences/future possibilities/knowledge/behavior/etc./even correct application of 'green'-minded scientific technology, as an awareness of personal infinity delivers one beyond the illusion of such relative phenomena as hopelessness presents through the normality of mundane socialization and behavioral attitudes at present in the mass media...
Because all perceived evidence may be used to describe, to identify, to define oneself, others, or reality, the humble origins of love's truth are forever obscured by distortions of a projectionary nature if one does not concern onself with enabling change of perception/belief to occur through self-realization of being and non-being. In this sense, the sacred and fertile process of personal change requires some type of soil and compost for the seedlings of our dreams to sprout in, grow roots, and spring forth into the various dimensions of being 'as is.' The soil is our existence, the 'I' in me is the seedling, and the compost needed is the destruction of knowing, as there is no knowing in change. In change there is only total surrender, faith, and clarity of intention. If the intention is love, then one must have faith that in the process of surrender, change will come about no matter what...No matter what our fears may be, no matter what the world may display for us, no matter should our body die in the process, no matter should we pass through 26 trillion different lifetimes, our humble faith must be as such that we are grounded in our eternity of love/truth above all else.
Disbelievers are plentiful, those who resist, scoff at, and fear change, those who are addicted to self-disempowerment, self-debasement, addicted to self in general, to their ideas, perceptions, thoughts and feelings, to knowing, to facts, to hatred, to mood swings, to being out of control, there are even those who would kill others to avoid change... In relation to such disenchanted realists and disenchanted realism within us and surrounding us, it would seem there is perhaps nothing to be done, for one may spend lifetimes giving ones energy and presence to prime the pump so to speak, as in to jump start the stalled engines of hopelessness in ourself and others, and still not have accomplished any real lasting change... So perhaps do nothing, as it is best to simply love others as we love ourselves, through acceptance. In self-reflection we may learn how to lovingly relate to the black holes within onself and modeled and mirrored for us in the universe at large by simply accepting such phenomena, by observing such. Loving a black hole personality or behavior, we must first recognize and become aware of it, then simply be with it, not changing it, not seeking to control it, but letting it be while we allow ourselves to see it clearly, to sense the fear behind its grasping clinging neediness, to feel the sheer terror and confusion behind its gravity well of trauma, to sense the passive aggressive violence of its dense facades, to remove its myriad masks and see the many stars and beautiful planets such darkened unconsciousness has consumed --- as is now occurring upon Earth.
Surely it is true, nothing is as it seems, so does it always suit Truth to let things 'Be' what they are, that one may allow reality and self to present themselves of their own accord, that they might be untainted by perceptual distortions of false knowing, emotional undertones, and indocrinated beliefs. What is real is then proven over the eternal now through an unending quest of eloquent articulation, or simply silence... With so many different reflections playing themselves out, so many different roles in effect, there are many positions we may each play for ourselves and many more for others. If we are concerned with playing the part of the lover, then it is wise to study the ways of lover. As it stands, the theatrical dramas of fear, the drama of mistrust, the drama of judgement, these paths and issues the hero and villian deliver to one another through duality and polarization have left a giant chasm, a battlefield wherein the vast carnage of wars of belief have been waged. By trying to be one or the other, competing to win, to be good or to be bad, we see only death and destruction, false saints and false sinners, false genius and false stupidity, false democracy and false socialism, false religion and false spirituality, false progress. Because these competing roles --these qualities-- are so addictive in their varying sensationalism, they offer us an unending source of distorted entertainment, intense pleasures and scathing heartaches, a thrilling rollercoaster of good and bad thoughts/emotions/experiences, all of which keeps us coming back for more till we may lose sight of heartfelt truth amongst the joys and sorrows, eventually hurting ourselves or others...
In continually looking outwards for meaning, for understanding, for some sense of contrast with which to idenitfy what we are by what we are supposedly not, we end up disillusioned and lost or we end up wounding others by judging and blaming them.... Though all experience is a type of grounds for learning, when is enough enough? Of course, hopelessness need not be 'given in' to at any point though it is also a learning experience, for we have lived the lives we have, we do what we do, and we learn the way we learn. In changing, creating new characters for ourselves much like an actor embodies a new role is a natural phenomena, so we may redefine ourselves through the shared wisdom of others, regurgitating the knowledge of others, emulating those beings/elements of nature/animals/and imagined ideals we admire, adopting lifestyles/fashions/and attitudes which fascinate us... This is all part of the process of change, of a gift we may offer ourselves of change. We can observe this vulnerability of change in the reflective development of a child and the rebirth of an adult, there is nothing to be ashamed of, to judge, to dismiss or ridicule, this is one of the most profound freedoms that is afforded us, to change ourselves....
Thus it seems worth inquiring, in regards to confronting sentient evil, personal and global change, and the freedom such ideals offer, in what ways are we free? It would appear we are free to think, free to feel, free to experience the self within ourself... Yet, when it comes to our existence as a biological entities, it appears that we are not free from essential needs like water, food, and shelter from the elements of Earth... Ancient ascetics are purported to have adopted lifestyles wherein they withdrew from the usage of food, water, and shelter for extended periods of time, in fact, they completely removed themselves from the realms of the senses, from society, from convenience and the normality of conventional thought, all in order to overcome the illusions of suffering, to transcend the needs of the body, of the program of humans desires. They sought oneness with the Divine through unity with eternal attributes, thus concepts such as transcendence can be embodied via extremism. Still, historically ascetics needed the help of younger generations of farmers and the charity and kindness of family households, rulers and rich elite, to survive as biological entities. They also needed fresh clean nature, so they could drink from rivers, sip the rain water off of leaves, and eat the plants surrounding them in their meditations and long periods of fasting.... In a modern capitalistic system we would label these beings 'bums,' and in this way modern ascetics lives are constantly endangered by others who resent their freedom, who resent their seeming non-doing, who resent their needs. Also, nature is more and more polluted, rivers diverted, dams built, weather systems erratic and harsh, forests cleared, property rights declared, fences erected, trespassers arrested and prosecuted, prisons constructed, and so the homeless aesthetic is confronted by a hostile environment, making such a life path of self exploration and self transcendence nearly impossible...
Certainly in nature, without roofs and walls and electricity and running water and laws and police and socialized norms of proper behavior, death can come rather quickly for anyone who ignores their own basic needs or their relationships to others and nature. So we are continually made to realize that relationship is all, for there is never a moment of being that we are not relating to some aspect of being. Thus irregardless of our surroundings, in the process of securing these basic needs we may discover we are not free from relating to life, to society, to others, to nature, to mysterious forces acting upon our being... That we are not free from relating to evidence of our own limitations, to our own level of intelligence and capability to adapt to whatever circumstances arise from our various journies to aquire these universal needs of the human being. And in relating to others we may find that what we want or need is not always important to them, and that others also have wants and needs that they are concerned with securing, and so we may discover competition exists for resources like water, food, and shelter, even love and intimacy...
In the modern era, humans compete for money, energy, resources, even the right to declare or define reality, to aquire the attention of the masses, to secure love, to engage in sex, to own and control space, etc. The redefinition of freedom by our ability to have these 'needs' met seems to have come about in tandem with our various cutlures, and is now more and more unified through capitalism and its corporate media empire --- programming global norms and standards via collective indoctrination of human minds (which brings us back around to the propagation of 'evil'). Hence our desires come to represent a supposed 'freedom of choice,' and are coveted by all who now live here and are well versed in the collective pop-cultural programs running the global show through the echelons of materialism... And where these desires sometimes converge upon the same points in time and space, struggle and strife are created... Thus we seem not free from competition and the mental-emotional-physical-psychic-spiritual rigors of such, even if we choose not to compete, not to play the game, the game is often brought to us....
Thus we are not free from sickness or violence, whether on a macro or microcosmic scale, nor pain and even death... We are not free from misunderstanding, ignorance, and the unknown... And as stated, we are not free from limitations, and have only to extend ourself in any direction to find the limits which are provided for us by the universe, by our bodies, by our emotions, by our minds, by our psychology, by other humans, by animals, by elements of nature, not to mention limitations which act upon us through the multiple dimensions of converging spiritual ideologies/realities and universal matricies of super-natural paradigms we may or may not believe to be real or having any effect upon us...
We are not free from governments, laws, banks, police, militaries, corporations, social responsibilities, and cultural axioms of behavior and belief, religion, science... In that sense, we are not free from socio-economic levers, wars, corruption, abuse, misrepresentation, mistrust... We are not free from records, as in, our lives and lifestyles are right now being recorded, our identities studied and formed/reformed, and our names legally bound... Change is seemingly not allowed because everyone, especially the system --- likes to remind us what we have been, what we have done, who we were ---implying this is who we will always be, which really only means we are never free from the ignorance of other's projections of who they think we are or want us to be as in expectations... Our worth to the systems of humanity is so often ascribed to us by our ability to provide services to the others, whether an employer, a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, a pet, a priest, a guru, a God, a Devil, a professor, a doctor, a psychotherapist, thus our need for some type/sense of currency to impress and serve others through -- further degrades our truth of freedom, or the highest most pure ideals of free-dom... Though our true self worth is forever immeasurable and invaluable!
With awareness of these illusive aspects of reality and self, freedom from all of these forms of conflictual identity and knowing is crucial in the transmutation of sentient ignorance and evil, for we need to be free of the memories of the past moment, and explore freedom from being bound to hopes for a future moment, to be here now. Since there is no other who can fully explain or reveal our own truth to us, we are seemingly alone in the transmutation of ignorance and evil which is consuming our personal lives and our planet, but not if we learn more and more to foster love in our hearts for our own and others' freedom of expression, championing the relevance of human feelings, defending nonviolently -- explorations of truth and the expressions of such.... Somehow we must bridge the gap between our ideals/dreams/feelings and the reality which surrounds us in three plus more dimensions. Perhaps beyond prayerful silence, the only way to do this is to share our truth in some form which best suits our own abilities and life experiences...
I pray all who share space here
may find some way to discover what it means
to experience holistic change within this spherical experience
amongst the cosmos of a physical dimension.
I want to live in a world free of ignorance and evil.
What do you want?
How do we achieve this change?
