What is the Root of all evil?

[chazzysaw]

Yes I see your point the evil negitive energy is just as important as the positive energy, you can't have one without the other. We as humans see evil as something we have to get rid of and that's our problem we hate evil and we fight it but that's what evil want. So we fall into the evil trap because when we do this we create more evil and evil gets stronger and the positive gets weaker and causes an imbalance in nature and our lives. Instead of fighting evil we have to embrace it learn from it and try to understand it this way we can use it to our own advantage. Positive is creation, construction, honesty, opportunity and love, evil is destroying, destruction, lying, disadvantage and hate. I personally have experienced, I'm sure many of you have, something bad or evil happening to me and in turn became very good or positive. So destruction can be a good thing and visa'versa because somethings that seem to be good the results turn out bad. There is a degree of good and bad, it's a thin line and there is also a gray area. We as humans know what is evil and what is not, hate, war, ignorance, prejudice, these are some of my personal vices and these are our evil enemies.

Hi guys...welcome to the TOE....
The ability to perceive evil is called "the evolution of social consciousness". From the 1960s to the 90s we have been evolving through to that level of consciousness where it has accelerated to millions of people becoming aware of environmental degradation, social injustice and other human atrocities. We have been calling this an "awakening" but it is really the evolution of social consciousness and it is a metamorphosis affecting all gradually.....

The root of all evil doesnt stricly exist

I mean people DO commit socialy immoral and unimaginable acts every day somewhere or another a some point in time but these acts usualy have a reson such as addiction causing people to perform 'evil acts' all the time but the 'addict who attacks a pensioner' is'nt doing this because of some evil force simply the drive of his/her addiction, the pensioner being nothing more than a prime target,
All in the same way as a genocydal dictator will slaughter half his population in a misguided attempt at keeping control, control being his DRIVE

so now i suppose i've changed my mind there is a source of all evil it just seems to be human drive in almost any of its many forms IF taken to the extreme
To finish i would say we all have the capabilty to be evil its all a matter of morals, self control and humanity

"The ability to perceive evil is called "the evolution of social consciousness". "

Maybe our evolution lies, not in the ability to see evil, but in understanding the behaviors which we believe to be evil. Perhaps by understanding why we percieve something as evil, we are able to learn that evil does not exist.

Good and Evil are the Zeitgeist of the times. People, places and things are in constant flux, therefore so is good and evil. The altruistic aginst the darkside of Society is the battleground. For one who embraces a heartfelf Moral and Ethical Code of Conduct, evil is no match!
Understanding is not complacency nor is it acceptance.
We all do our own personal battle as The Destroyer or the Savior,in our own lives, which has its interconnected social impact.

The statement that "evil does not exist" may be fallicious when studying the content of our historical period which harbored Hitler and Nazism revealing it is very possible for a society to create a demoralized society which would unconsciously and unknowingly take part in the torture and destruction of a segment of that existing society of people. Our own evolution in consciousness must not lie...but more so lying within that evolution has got to be social perception and social cognition....this could be our present epoch....

Nazism was a product of human nature. It was born out of fear. Fear is a resource provided by nature to protect the self from a percieved harm. Perhaps we should be more focused on educating ourselves about how our perception shapes our world. The human race could learn to control its own fears, and learn to no longer be manipulated by them. This would be impossible to do, unless we learn that fear is not evil.

Our "mind" tries to acquire all the things we think we need {because we mis identify with our mind aka ego] to be a happy and contented person. But that is its(minds) function, to serve us, but not to rule us. Our own dear and loving mind can and does at times become the tyrant dictator of all, as far as it, the "I", can see.
If we recognise that "mind" is dual in nature, capable of both good and bad,therefore we can be saviors and/ordestroyers, and are 100% responsible for all the things our "mind" creates in phenomenality both good and bad, we have an idea of the creative aspect of the mind at work.

On the othere hand we have a soul, which rarely is allowed the light of day in the land of the tyrant [ego, where-ego-I-go]urges, desires, instinctual drives, come first, given first priority by our 'will' power alone.

Soul is the giverand bearer of altruistic morals, virtues, and spiritual principles, we must remember to place principles before personalities, in all our affairs, even pertaining to our self [mind].

Doing so doesn't give evil the chance to tap root.
Evil is the absense of good.

Thus have I heard.

Evil is the destructive use of our essential will, knowingly or unknowingly. We are responsible, tell the Judge "the devil made us do it", and how far would such an excuse get us? Lol

What does the 'Zeitgeist' of World Conscience say about Nitler, after its all said and done?
His henchmen said 'the devil made me do it' having plead patriotism, gee, that should be a precedent is the U.S. as well, shouldn't it? While we, the people, are left holding the bag.

It's the same for the Soul-mind, mind-body politic.
A match made in heaven or hell and we get to choose the character we wish to play, which we do, unknowingly or knowingly.

To truly understand Nazism it must be studied within the wider perspective of the political and social history of that time concerning policies of settlement, living space, industrial exploitation and forced-labour deployment....

Maybe we don't have to go that far in search of a perspective. Maybe we need only search our own hearts.
