<<<I do not dispute this. However, are you, too, saying that those
things are good, or should we rather introduce the term "evil", and
define it as "misguided actions performed from the state of delusion
and ignorance of the true nature of reality, that cause misery and
suffering and hinder the manifestation of the Divine qualities in the
world"?>>>
I am saying that those things are Life, and they are PART of the Divine qualities
in the world. My experiences bring me
a better understanding of All That Is & a greater connection to all beings.
I am richer for having had them, & I don't see
them as evil. To me, "evil" implies a moral judgment somewhere.
Hah--you got me to come out from my usual lurking place & talk!
Thanks,
Carol
