Evil in our world

[East Sun]

It is evident for quite a while that a real evil has taken hold that is world wide. It seems to be propelled by a somewhat obscure force.

This force could be a combination of non--human, some off planet and globalists and O.W.O . entities that are the enemies of humanity.

Obscure forces are known to exist, by some spiritual--minded people and 'believed' to exist by others. They seem to be the cause of the havoc being perpetuated against humans world wide.

We have an obligation to oppose them to save ourselves. We have to be vigilant in every way, in
prayer, in physical readiness and our observations.

We have God on our side, if we choose but we must choose to be on the side of goodness/God.

I am not so sure it is obscure. Father Ripperger published a series of videos that describe exactly how Communism and Socialism are demonic i.e., evil. The parallels with the activities of the WEF, wokeism, and the green agenda are quite obvious.

Mike started this thread to discuss the videos: Spiritual Warfare And Communism

Don't forget that it is in China's interest to destroy the Western non -Communist countries from within. They've bought Hollywood and the US Democratic Party to accomplish this.

'God' loves China too.

Hi All! This has been a big topic on my mind lately.

Why do some people care about understanding evil?

Well, for me it’s because it’s a “part of my programming”. I guess you could also say that it is a “part of who I am”

Thing is, I don’t want to reincarnate. And in this “game” that I am playing, I am supposed to be “learnin’ about evil”. What have I learned so far? Well I know what evil feels like now.. and it feels like doom. Doom is a low rumbly feeling, coming closer and closer. Nobody wants doom. I also learned what terror felt like.

[petra]

This feels like finding a diamond. Bumpitty bump

Understanding evil is extremely important, not just for some but for all people; once you know how it operates and take time to recognize your personal vulnerabilities, you can build mental and emotional defences. You can start to live in a state of awareness to prevent manipulation and keep evil influences at bay.

Most people fail to realize that evil can be subtle, gradually influencing our thoughts and behaviors and before you know it, you are making what seem to be small compromises in your beliefs. These subtle influences work gradually, often going unnoticed until they have changed your attitudes and behaviors. Before you know it, you are choosing sides in wars, essentially rooting for death and destruction instead of 'always' cheering for peace. I suppose the perfect example is capital punishment; believing that killing someone solves problems is ludicrous.

It is critical to maintain this awareness for your personal and spiritual protection and well-being.

I think I might have actually learned this. I'm very critical of myself now. It happened gradually, just like you said. Gradual influences until you wonder how things got so bad.

Thanks for the example about capital punishment. I used to believe in that but not so much anymore. My outrage has subsided.

[petra]

There's another big question too if anyone cares to take a crack at it.

"Do you need to experience evil in order to understand it?"

Answers so far have been.. 1. Of course you do! 2. Of course you don't. 3. I hope not. 4. Probably (me) and 5. WHY (which we already answered)

[East Sun]

God loves all of humanity without exception!

[petra]

Right. Nobody is getting abandoned. That would be foolish

Mod note from Bill:

I changed the thread title to be slightly less 'shouting'. ('Evil' had all been in upper case.) The mods and I feel it's quite important (a) to acknowledge the real existence of evil, for sure, but (b) NOT to consistently draw attention to it and focus on it daily.

The risk, as always in life, is that by continually meditating on something one might more easily actually manifest it into existence. One of the great strengths of the forum over the years is the abundance of positive, spiritual and uplifting material that's so very necessary and healthy for us all these days.

[petra]

Nobody should be manifesting anything as far as I’m concerned! But that’s a whole other story.

Mother used to say the dark had to come light in order to get destroyed. Maybe she’s right, she was so adamant about it.

One key thing is not let the bad stuff blind you to the good stuff. It happens really easily and it’s nothing to start a downward spiral into depression.

[shaberon]

I tend to look at this more in terms of prevent than understand.

I suppose there could be a need to identify, in order to separate that which is to be removed from that which is to be kept.

I have the dubious experience, in the south, this pretty much is the Bible Belt, and so I get the favor of automatically being labeled evil by these folks, which is effectively the same thing that's done by our federal regime. It hates me.

And, of course, most of that is just backwards.

My understanding is they group together and repeat the same thing to reinforce their belief. I don't get that advantage. I'm stuck on my own to figure it out; and that does not come up as an acceptable solution.


Within myself, I once found I was doing meditations that focused sending love and peace to all beings, which I suppose is the true intent; and further along, I noticed it did nothing. Nobody was picking up my mental thoughts like a nutritious meal; they remained unaware, and, in fact, only got stronger in opposing it. If I was having a reverse effect, I must be doing something wrong. So that's not adequate.

There are numerous other forms of evil other than the Zionist one, but, it is this organized thing which is currently responsible for widespread suffering on a level that admittedly blows away anything I personally know. That makes it a high priority. No one should have to experience their house burned and their family murdered for the sake of enriching their philosophy (or any other reason).

Most of what I have to deal with is personality defects, and yes, these can easily lead to long-lasting bad feelings, certainly isn't good, but it's no comparison to a war zone. On the other hand, those places are really far away and I can't do anything about it, just like most crimes. Most of the time, we have to be content with a philosophical concern and a rather limited ability to act.

[Ernie Nemeth]

To understand evil is to be evil.

Even to recognize evil implies an evil tendency, which we all possess.

In fact, it is impossible to be in this reality without being both evil and good.
Nothing absolute exists here, being what we call a "free will" universe.
Free will requires both extremes, but no absolutes.

Even Lucifer wants to reconcile with The Creator, which is inevitable.

The fallen keep falling until they are lifted up...

“To understand evil is to be evil”

Not sure if I agree. Allah claims to understand evil.. but he is nice. He’s imaginary but real to me.

I’m starting to understand, but I don’t feel myself turning evil or anything. If anything I’m getting nicer and more generous the more I learn about it.

I’ve spent some time studying psychopaths and one thing stood out to me. One of them was being interviewed and confessed the reason why he had abused this girl was because he “saw something good in her which he never knew existed”. Never knew existed.. that’s just so sad. I feel sorry for the evil sometimes, because I know that God will triumph.

[East Sun]

My intention was not to emphasize evil. It is very real but not the greatest force. Not by a long shot.
We as humans are above and beyond it! Believe it and live it!

[petra]

My “spirit guides” are telling me that some of my understanding is.. misplaced. It’s definitely more possible to misunderstand evil than it is to understand it. Here’s a bit of help I got from Grok:

Understanding is not an all-or-nothing binary. It involves degrees of accuracy, completeness, and fidelity to the target (a statement, intention, mechanism, theory, situation, etc.). You can get the broad shape right while getting key details, relations, or implications wrong.

Bumping my post above. I've merged two threads titled Evil in our world and Why understanding evil is important to some of us.

I'd very gently like to suggest again that a daily focus on the topic of evil is NOT HEALTHY and is quite likely to lead to, or accelerate, mental and emotional imbalance of various kinds.

And as an analogy: if you want to stop thinking about elephants, don't keep saying to yourself "I mustn't keep on thinking about elephants", or "why do I think about elephants all the time"?

Just think about — and talk about, and post about — lions, tigers, dogs and cats instead.

[petra]

So like “tralalala”?

I appreciate merging the threads and I get Bills point but it doesn’t work that way for me.

This world, for me, is meant as a place to learn about evil in. Kind of like… an evil game. It’s a game about evil. And if I don’t learn about it properly, I risk having to come back and do it again!
