Evil and the Diabolical
Evil: Wickedness, moral depravity,
sin; whatever is censurable, painful, malicious, or disastrous; the evil part or element of anything. 2 A wrongdoing, a crime, a
sin. 3 the evil people. 4 A disaster, a misfortune. 5 A disease, a sickness Oxford
Dictionary
Peter: In ‘normal’ society we are socially trained to be good and have
good feelings. As a back-up when the ‘good’ fails we have laws, lawyers, psychiatrists, police, fines, jails, armies, etc. to stop the
‘bad’ feelings from running amok. The spiritual solution is to pump up the good feelings to become divine feelings resulting in feelings of
superiority, grandness, oneness and wholeness which, if practiced assiduously, leads to the feeling that one is indeed Divineness Itself.
Rajneesh says ‘Unconsciousness is evil and consciousness
is Divine’ which is nothing other than the Eastern version of Western morality of good and bad. Good and bad (or conscious and
unconscious) is as pathetic a division of instinctual passions as is right and wrong a pathetic division of social values. Human beings
actually fight horrendous wars over these divisions. The initial stage of Actual Freedom involves investigating these socially and
spiritually implanted morals and ethics in order to discover what lays beneath – the genetically implanted instinctual passions of fear,
aggression, nurture and desire.
Of course, there is no Divine or Diabolical, bliss or despair, malice or sorrow or
any of the instinctual passions in the actual world. All these feelings and beliefs, ideas and fantasies exist only because they are the
psychological and psychic machinations of a wayward identity within the flesh and blood body. These feelings may well be real, and are felt to
be so because of the chemicals that surge through the human body from the reptilian brain … but they are not actual, as in existing in the
physical world.
Richard: There was a period during my eleven years of
being in the enlightened phase (in my sixth year) whereupon what I called ‘The Absolute’ presented itself as being feminine – a Radiant
Being initially seen to be Pure Love – which femininity I would nowadays consider to be a product of me being of masculine gender. Eventually
I was able to penetrate into the nature of this ‘Radiant Being’ and was able to see ‘Her’ other face:
It was Pure Evil – the Diabolical underpins the Divine
– and upon such exposure ‘She’ disappeared forever.
