The answer is yes, it can.
Our life is a constant replay of the same scenarios. In love we are exactly the same as in hate. For example:
if a person is very careful about choosing a partner for a close relationship, he will also be careful about people who are unpleasant to him;
if a student fills out a diary very carefully, then he will have it just as neatly in his briefcase and in his personal room. And with a high probability, we can assume that when it grows up, it will work just as carefully.
Therefore, if you deeply understand your Evil, you can understand your personal life scenarios.
And through them, you can better understand yourself.
I don't believe that evil exists. I believe in good, but I don't believe in evil. I think about it a lot. Good exists in the form of love, but evil simply does not exist, because no person thinks to himself that he is evil. All people think to themselves that they are good. For me, evil is the absence of love. Empty space is evil because there is no love in it. The vacuum is evil because there is no love in it. Chaos is evil because there is no love in it. Evil, it is like ignorance, like something unknown, unknown.
When you explain everything by saying that this particular person is a villain, it means that you don't understand them. You don't understand his world, you don't have the imagination to imagine it. Let's say you have an evil boss (I have a good one). And he's so terrible, swearing and it's not clear what he's doing, and all povvolnyal. And you start to approach and suddenly you think: “My God, you're a good boy, I feel so sorry for you! How hard it is for you!” You begin not to love, but to understand.
There is never any evil. Evil is a simple way to explain why things are so bad: people are dying, wars are starting. And the most terrible truth is that something bad happens not because someone is a villain, but because there is no love.
Yes, it can.
I talked about this when I answered about haters in the comments. When you are faced with something unpleasant and evil — you make a decision: either you go along with this evil, or choose a different path.
Evil is a very abstract word. Sometimes you have to allow yourself to be angry. This is bad when a person always wants to be kind, good for everyone, and sympathetic. This is wrong, because there is both good and bad in a person. Therefore, accepting this awareness frees people. As soon as I started thinking about it, my life became much easier. It is better to agree within yourself: “Yes, I can be angry sometimes.”
I think that this is impossible because negative can not be positive, and evil is the reverse side of good. Evil is one of the emotions of a person and we are all charged with it in one way or another. Only positivity and peace can help a person understand themselves. “Don't make others angry, and don't make yourself angry. We are guests in this mortal world. And, if that's not the case, suck it up! Be smarter- – – smile. Think with your head coolly, Because everything is natural in the world, and the Evil that you radiate will surely return to you.” With respect.
Evil-it sounds too vague. What exactly do you mean by this term? If we talk about evil as ignorance (I personally support this particular theory), then your question becomes rhetorical. Ignorance and understanding are not comparable things.
Another thing is external factors, thanks to which your very evil (ignorance) manifests itself, they are certainly needed. They are necessary, like a test run, before launching, to identify weaknesses.
Simply put, tests do not just help, they are an indispensable condition for understanding and, accordingly, development.
And there's nothing you can do about it – an evolutionary mechanism.
And what is evil? Evil is the opposite of good, which is already evil. Any extremes give rise to evil as a problem of loss of integrity, balance, harmony, health. So, in order to understand yourself, to have harmony, integrity, you need not have thinking in the style of good and evil, good and bad. There should be a sensible objective division, such as black and white, in which to choose what is taken as a support, what is taken as a direction, and go without considering something bad.
The question is slightly incorrect. “Evil” is a stamp on an abstract object.
It is better to use more correct words: “an evil word” or “an evil act”
In the tradition of our ancestors, it is considered that the old and proven way to understand yourself:
“when we are slandered even unfairly, when we are unfairly punished, take it as a blessing, because this is a great opportunity to become a better person.”
Or, according to the traditions of the Castaneda shamans, it is considered lucky if a person has a “petty tyrant” who, with his evil pressure, forces us to leave our comfort zone and train to better understand ourselves and learn how to cope with aggression towards us.
Thus, the Evil outside helps us to understand ourselves and develop ourselves.
But it is quite another matter when evil comes from within us!!
Such evil, on the contrary, prevents us from understanding ourselves and doing something about it.
It makes us blind, automatic, and deranged. It also weakens us. After a bout of anger is over, we often feel empty and apathetic.
Therefore, the first stage of coping with evil is to divide: where the evil is outside and the moment when the evil outside gives birth to the evil inside, which fills us from the bottom from the very feet to the very top of the head.
Learn to distinguish between these two forces, learn to control yourself. And even use this emotion for good.
It's like fire: a person became a person when he mastered fire, learned to use it both for food and for heating. And then civilization has already gone: using it for burning dishes, for making weapons and tools.
Taming “evil” – civilization.
Spontaneous evil, on the machine – uncivilized life.
This is a very abstract but fun question. Everyone has a different understanding of evil, and even one person at different ages also has a different understanding of evil. There are common things. For everyone. In different civilizations and cultures. I guess that's what we'll talk about?
I think that when faced with such an evil, a person needs to form his position in relation to this evil. This is one of the ways to understand yourself. Through an act and through an attitude. This is especially important for those who are going through the stage of formation in life.
Let's get this straight.
Evil does not exist by itself. It has an owner.
If we talk about the external owners of evil, then the manifestation of this state in them may mean danger for the observer. But this is in the case of evil, this state is akin to aggression. In this case, personal evil, awakened in a certain situation by an object in itself that has observed this phenomenon in external media before, should, with repeated repetition of the sequence : observations of evil – awakening of evil, form a stable understanding of the mechanism of action of personal awakened evil to others, and external evil to itself. Accordingly, understanding these relationships will create analogies in attempts to understand the nature of envy, pride, and other human traits. And since the observer is himself a human being, his ability to understand others, which is revealed through evil, will help him to understand himself.
A person in the fight against evil can become better, can understand himself and the world more deeply. But this is not at all the merit of evil, which only wants to enslave, spoil or destroy us. This is the merit of the person himself.
Substance is something that exists independently. Evil is destruction, so evil is not substantial in the ontological sense, and therefore does not exist as a substance. A person perceives evil purely psychologically. Light is substance: yes, there will be light.” Physics confirms this proposition, since absolute darkness does not exist : is light a quantum particle? Photon and quantum are one light energy. The One is the Good, the Mind is the lesser Good, the Soul is the lesser good (Plato) . God did not create evil and cannot have evil in Himself, because of His Eternal existence. Therefore, there is no evil in the world, and the feeling of fear, evil, a person experiences exclusively psychologically, since an immaterial and non-existent substantial act of evil is present in space-time only as an act of violating the rules of morality and as a property of multiplicity phenomena, and therefore depends on human activity. In this connection, in accordance with Plato's theory, evil is present in our space as an act of supplication for good, for lesser good. A person's actions are closely related to the manifestation of his free will. A person in the conditions of space-time is not hindered by anything in any situation related to his activity in our world. Each person, having a moral law in his rational soul, is able to evaluate his actions and, accordingly, analyze and draw conclusions.
No, it can't. Evil only embitters and blinds. It is difficult for an evil person or a victim of evil to objectively evaluate themselves from the outside. God did not create people to develop in evil ways. Evil can even distort the concepts of good and evil:
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that count darkness light, and light darkness; that count bitter sweet, and sweet bitter “(Isaiah 5: 20).
According to the Holy Scriptures evil comes from Satan the devil,
“but the whole world is in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5: 19).
and it is known to mislead the entire inhabited earth. Similarly, imperfections cannot help a person understand himself, because the Bible says that the human heart is evil and extremely corrupt.
“The heart of man is most deceitful, and is exceedingly corrupt; who will know it?” (Jer. 17: 9)
Who will recognize him? This is also like asking a crafty and extremely spoiled person where it is best to store money. The next verse says that this is possible only for God.
“I, the Lord, search the heart and test the bowels …” (Jer. 17: 10)
God knows us best because he created us. Therefore, to better understand himself, he offers us a reliable tool, this is his word the Bible.
“For the word of God is quick and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword: it penetrates to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and brains, and judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4: 12).
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, prepared for every good work” (2 Timothy 3: 16,17).
Have you ever tried using the Bible to better understand yourself?
When you encounter what you consider evil, you can't help but think about what you would do in such situations, which can help you learn more about yourself. And if you yourself have committed a certain act that seemed evil to you, then you are already beginning to understand in practice how you behave in this or that situation. Many people are usually nice and kind as long as there are no conflicts of interest or out-of-the-ordinary situations between them. At this point, decent people can turn into “nasty creatures”.
The most important thing is to understand what is evil. For many, it is created by some supernatural being or vast energy. However, evil is something that a person has inherited from an animal.
Therefore, if you start dripping in search of objective information related to evil, you will definitely get to know yourself better, as well as the people around you.
In matters of good and evil-it is impossible to understand, without including in your worldview — God, in the aspect of the Creator and His Evolution.
The essence of everything in the universe –
EVOLUTION OF UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
The life of God is a continuation of the development of His Universal Organism.
It is for this purpose that He creates material worlds in one part of the universe and then in another. And then on suitable planets, he settles in the latter insignificant particles of His energy – which, as they evolve, will enrich Him with themselves.
We must come to the attainment of Divinity and merge with It, and also help other people in this.
Here on Earth, in interaction with others like ourselves and with objects of the material world, we acquire and strengthen certain of our qualities — good or bad.
Humble, kind, loving, intelligent-He brings up with affection and quickly brings them closer to Him, lets them in. The rest continue to be reincarnated and reincarnated into new bodies.
Everything is planned by the Creator so that — in a series of many incarnations-to give the soul a variety of life situations, to learn-what is good and what is bad?… in order for the soul to want to escape from these sufferings and come at the end of the path to God the Father (the Creator), as did, for example, Jesus once (in the past as a human) and many other souls unknown to us (they are called Holy Spirits), a person must want to merge with the Creator in Love, learning to love and enemies, This is His life.
When Jesus said “become like children,” He was referring to a very specific quality of the best children — “open-mindedness.”
As for the incarnation of moral freaks — we need villains here on Earth: so that there is someone to provide a variety of life situations, so that we can learn each other's psychology. Their fate is to continue to degrade — to the very bottom-until some of them come to their senses there, at the bottom, in their own suffering, and begin to look for a way out to the Light.
***
Consider this-as lessons in psychology from our Creator, through the construction of various situations, God the Father tests us for intellectual and spiritual advancement.
So, the bullet can be deflected, if necessary, and the bomb, shell, grenade may not explode, and the fire may go out. And the criminal attacked me and did this and that to me- not only because he is a cruel and evil primitive who has gone to hell-but also because God brought him to me in this situation.
Once we understand that God is everywhere and that He is omnipotent, we must accept that no external force can harm us unless it is God's Will. And if something unpleasant has happened to us — then we should look for the reason in ourselves: in our fate, in our mistakes in the near or distant past.
We are completely under His control. He grazes us like His flock, sends us to grow and mature again and again in the” pastures ” of the Earth. Here, in interaction with others like ourselves and with objects of the material world, we acquire and strengthen certain of our qualities — good or bad.
Humble, kind, loving, intelligent-He brings up with affection and quickly brings them closer to Him, lets them in.
The rest continue to be reincarnated and reincarnated into new bodies. And between incarnations, they live for a long time among similar souls — in those states of consciousness to which they were accustomed during their life on Earth.
If someone says that there is no God, since there are earthquakes, hurricanes, wars, or that He is evil, and therefore I will not believe in Him…. then we will try to understand that God's plans do not include making people a paradise on Earth. If there were a paradise on Earth, we would have no incentive to go anywhere else.
Life on Earth is not a True Life, it is just a fairly short training course, an opportunity to become better.
And if there were no wars and other disasters — then there would be no opportunities to show selfless heroism for the benefit of others…or betray them, fearing the fear of death.
Earth's cataclysms are just accelerators of the evolution of the people involved in them. This is an opportunity to become a better person.
People who embark on the true religious Path quickly get rid of many diseases, including cancer.
Of course, the disease cannot be cured by prayer, because no one will think of removing a splinter with prayer.
If we go right, He encourages us with bliss; if we turn away from the Straight Path to Him, He points us out by hurting us in one way or another. It's all very simple.
First: the word evil is a definition of a certain dark force, destructive; destructive , life-threatening impact.
Second: it helps to understand mainly the mind; consciousness ..
Third , from the beginning of creation, the word man truly signified a God-like” holy spirit”, a righteous one, created to inspire the minds of men and women, and their descendants accordingly, to do noble deeds – righteous, just, merciful! People are different and in fact are not people , people's human rights are hypocritical . Of the most famous personalities, the most famous righteous person is Jesus Christ, justly called the Son of Man. Because he has always acted appropriately, like God, nobly ; justly, justly, mercifully.
Fourth: hypocrisy, which is common in this world , is a lie ,a substitution of concepts, a form of distortion of the condition of being. spreading evil . And ” Where they are slow to punish evil, there the hearts of men are drawn to evil deeds. .. A sinner sins a hundredfold and lives a long time…: the righteous receive the inheritance of evildoers, and the wicked receive the inheritance of the righteous. ” Ecclesiastes 8: 11-14.
Let us consider two outcomes of this philosophical thought. First, a person does evil and understands himself, understands what evil he has done. As a result, it takes measures or levers to somehow make amends and apologize in various forms to those who may have been harmed. The man corrected himself, he is a handsome man, he realized that evil is evil! Secondly, a person does evil and understands himself, understands that he can't do anything else in life. This is, let's say, a negative moment in the formation and development of a person's personality. A person understands that if fate leads him to such atrocities, then so be it, but does not think about the consequences. And they as a rule can become deplorable for him
