See No Evil

There is no evil in nature other than the evil we imagine as human beings. We only imagine evil because we are fearful, and we are fearful because we ignore the one truth that perpetually offers itself as our salvation from an eternal life of evil. Religions frequently form around this truth. Some religions believe they must protect it. Others think they must spread it. But, no religion understands it, because if it did understand then it would know that the one saving truth is completely independent of our experience, and does not need to be protected, or spread, or even served. It only wants to be acknowledged (i.e. loved). And, as soon as we do acknowledge it in our heart of hearts, we are freed from fear, and from all forms of imagined evil. Acknowledgement (love) of the one truth is not something we do as an act of volition. We cannot choose to "love God". God chooses who will love him, and how that love will manifest. It is an event that occures as any other event in nature, as the result of an infinite sequence of circumstances that no human mind could ever begin to fathom. We pride ourselves on our knowledge of the Universe, but we have not yet even begun the understand. Evil is not real, not really. We invent it, and we create it. But in the end, the truth will destroy it, or rather, reveal the lie of it.
