Hello!
In my last post, I talked about how Meditation can lead us to answers, and promised I would share one of the answers I got in that way. And here I am to keep that promise.
I went to meditate after reading a discussion in Erin Pavlina's blog about the purpose of Evil in the Universe. (http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/2006/10/what-is-evil-does-evil-truly-exist/trackback/) And an answer came to me while meditating, it explained why evil is there in the world and what it really is. Read on to know more.
Evil beings, and evil itself, can be easily explained using an analogy. There is only One Consciousness - the Hindu mythology named it Brahma but call it what you will, Conscious, Collective, Source - in the Universe and we are all its manifestations. This is all-powerful, benevolent, and pure Goodness. It is the highest vibration there is.
In our analogy, let us compare this pure Goodness to light, and evil to darkness. There is no such thing as darkness - it is merely a name given to the absence of light. Then it follows that evil is not an entity by itself - it is merely an absence of Goodness. So then everything evil can be explained in a straightforward manner. Sorrow is absence of happiness, violence is absence of peace, despair is absence of hope and so on.
So God - if you do believe in God, that is - did not create evil. God is pure Goodness, and evil is simply a state of its absence. Evil beings and evil entities are just low energy beings - they lack energy and positive vibrations.
When we feel low-spirited and drained, we resort to anger, violence, hatred, jealousy and other negative vibes. It is simply an absence of positive vibes, and merely thinking of the positivity can increase your positive vibration and help you cope.
When I feel frustrated with something, I try to remember it is just a lack of peace and acceptance, and try to bring it into myself. It usually works very well.
I hope my analogy of evil makes sense to you. Please leave a comment if you would like to discuss this. :) I would love to hear from you!
Peace,
Gayathri.
