Greetings,
"....and one of the Elders of the city said, 'Speak to us of Good and Evil'
"And he answered, 'Of the Good in you I can speak, but not of the Evil. For what is Evil but Good tortured by its own hunger and thirst. Verily when Good is hungry it seeks food, even in dark caves and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
"You are Good when you are one with yourself, yet when you are not one with yourself, you are not Evil
"You are Good in countless ways, and you are not Evil when you are not Good.
You are only loitering and a sluggard. Pity that stags cannot teach swiftness to turtles."
.....................................Kahlil Gibran, from "The Prophet"

Moving past the dichotomy of Good and Evil is not a new concept at all, much less a "New Age" concept. Shakespeare wrote about it. So did Plato.
Evil is a perception of a place where we believe that Love is not. But there is no place Love is not. If Love were not there, that place could not exist.
Let's put that in reverse order shall we? Feel Love. Now try to imagine a place that this Love could not go.
Do you have a place in mind that Love cannot go?
Then you have just judged yourself as Evil.
Are you Evil?
"Judge not that ye be not judged."
Are lies Evil?
The person of Santa Claus is a complete fiction. It is a lie. Is Santa Claus Evil? Is it Evil to tell the story of Santa Claus?
There is no Evil, there are only places each of us as individuals have not sent our Love.
The simple fact is: Whatever you believe is true for you. If you believe in Good and Evil, then there is Good and Evil in your life. If you can think past the world of duality, then there just IS.
LOVE in Each Moment!
