I am reading a book that might be of interest particularly to those of us invloved in the "evil debate". The book, by Deepak Chopra, is called "The Deeper Wound". In it he describes my take on the existence of evil. I quote:
"Evil is the absence of being. This affirmation is about the darkness and the light. Just as the soul has two faces, so does Nature as a whole. We are in the habit of calling these two faces good and evil, life and death, the darkness and the light. But as convincing as that picture is, duality exists only to keep Maya, or illusion going. the instant anyting was born, it had to die. These two events became the material symbol for light and darkness. the illusion breaks down when you realize that just as God has only one essence, reality has only one face, which is being.
At the deepest level being fills everything. But if you know that, then the drama oflife and death wouldn't be convincing. Evil derives from the illusion that the divie has gone away. In itself evil has no positive claim to existence. the illusion ends when your soul reveals that being is everywhere, and you are that being. Realizing this, no one can adopt evil ever again. It becomes an old role that means nothing when the drama has worn itself out."
This book was written after the 911 tragedy, but is very spiritually uplifting. For any of you who may be interested, i recommend it.
blessings to all
