QUESTION:

While we’re in this area, a closely related question in the Law of Love is another one (along with the "Resist Not Evil" concept that has brought in many, many letters over the years) and is a concept that’s very difficult to grasp, and I wonder if Awareness could expound somewhat on the concept to "deny the existence of evil"?

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that one cannot say that everything is good, for entities can obviously see that there are things which are tragic, which are painful, which are difficult to experience or to watch, or even to witness and hear about.

These things entities may class or call "evil."

When someone is violated unjustly (or even justly), entities will say that violation was "evil." It is hard — it is impossible — to deny that event or to condone that event, and the denial of the event is abhorrent to their consciousness and is what many entities believe is being said in the phrase "deny the existence of evil."

This Awareness does not ask that you deny the existence of these abhorrent deeds or the existence of entities who would perpetrate such abhorrent deeds, for indeed there are entities who would do such things and there are such things being done.

Separateness is The Root of All Evil

This Awareness suggests, however, that "denying the existence of evil" actually means that entities should look at this concept of evil in a slightly different way and to understand that the very nature of that which entities call evil comes about through the misconception or mythical belief of being separate.

This Awareness has indicated that separateness is the root of evil; that if entities did not perceive themselves as being separate, they could not express or be evil.

The very action of thinking that one is set apart, is separated from the rest of humanity, from the rest of the universe, allows the entity to feel that he or she has a particular choice of being a certain way and of behaving in a manner of a certain way without being affected by the results of that action.

If one, for example, violates another, and that one who does the violation thinks of himself as separate from the action of violation, the entity may think: "Ha! You got hurt, and I didn’t!", but if the entity feels himself to be one with all, and harms another, the entity sees that he has simply acted out a polarized activity and this other person is part of consciousness, of the same consciousness of which this first person is. Therefore, in this body of consciousness which resides throughout the universe, there will come about a repercussion to balance the pain thrown out, with pain coming in, and the entity will eventually receive back the proper response to that negative expression which he presented.

This Awareness indicates, therefore, when one fully understands the nature of a universe that is whole in which all parts are part of the universe, one cannot violate others without violating themselves as well.

Putting this in another way, your subconscious knows you violated the other person, and is not going to let you off the hook.

This Awareness indicates that it is only that illusion of separateness which allows an entity to think he can get by with such action of violating others, and this illusion of separateness is that which is the father of the illusion called "evil."

This Awareness indicates that in another way of looking at the phrase "deny the existence of evil" is like a command; rather than allowing the existence of evil, or admitting the existence of evil, the command says for you to deny its existence.

How does one deny its existence? It is not saying that you don’t admit it is there, it is saying you should deny it any existence. This Awareness suggests that the question is: How can you deny any existence of evil? You can either deny it by calling it something else, by seeing it as something else, by seeing it as separateness, by recognizing it as this person’s ignorance, or you can deny it by not letting it continue in its momentum and expression by stopping it.

This Awareness indicates that it doesn’t mean you ignore it; it means you either stop it or you define it differently and in the different defining, you gain a different understanding.

The Zoroastrian Philosophy of Good and Evil

This Awareness indicates the point of this phrase, however, is to influence entities to quit thinking in terms of some evil force in the universe, to quit thinking that there is good and evil as two powerful forces in the universe, as promoted by the Zoroastrian philosophy from which so many other religions have claimed or have adopted their thinking.

There was a time when the Zoroastrian belief of good and evil did not exist upon this plane. Entities did not see good or evil, they simply saw things as they were. They did not class them or label them as good or evil. They saw things happening; they either liked it or didn’t like it.

The Koreans, for example, had no word for evil. They did not have a word for good. They did have a word for not good. This Awareness indicates that if you do not have this concept of an evil force in the universe, it loses its power to do mischief. If it loses its power to do mischief and instead there is that recognition that certain entities have aberrations which cause trouble to others, then you can deal with these entities in a more practical way.

You can say: "This person has a problem that is spilling out and affecting other people, and I must do something to help this entity to get through this problem so that he will quit messing up the lives of others." That approach allows a practical opportunity for dealing with the problem. But if you see this person creating mischief for others, and you simply throw out this label: "That person is evil and evil is part of the universe and I must battle evil wherever I see it, and I am afraid of evil, and we must all go against evil and destroy evil, therefore, we must destroy this person who is evil," — then what you have are excuses for people killing their enemies whom they see as evil, and the evil continues because the killing of those persons is seen by others as being evil.

One seeks to kill evil, and in so doing, appears evil to someone else.

This Awareness indicates that rather than seeing "good" or seeing "evil," entities should see each other as having certain aberrations that cause harm or cause good things to happen. You can see an entity as being harmful in his or her behavior without labeling that entity as evil. Then you have the opportunity to modify that behavior. But how can you modify evil? It is inconceivable to modify evil. Who thinks that: "Well, I think we’ll try to make evil a little better, a little less evil. I want to work with the evilness in this person to see if we can’t modify the evilness into something that is not quite so evil."

People just don’t think that way.

If they see something as evil, they want to destroy it, but if they see an entity is being harmful in his or her behavior, they can say: "I want to work with this person so that they stop behaving In such a harmful way." There is then an opportunity to modify behavior. This Awareness indicates that if this has not been fully clarified, that you may ask further questions in regard to any points.

DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF EVIL: ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW (Energizing Evil Gives It More Power)

QUESTION:

There’s a book out of Australia called "Journey Into the World of Metaphysics," by Dr. J.S. Chiappalone, and in this book, which also covers many conspiracies, (the entity is conspiracy-oriented) he devotes a lot of the book to this existence of evil and the denial of same. I ‘d like to read a little excerpt of this and ask Awareness to comment. He writes: "To deny the existence of evil is the greatest act of self- delusion, deception and self-destruction which true beings can commit. Naturally evil beings and those who have become evil are only too keen to deny the existence of evil for it suits them admirably, and not being acknowledged as evil, they go ahead and continue being destructive, trapping the unsuspecting true beings in their web of deceit. The basis of all religious philosophy is a struggle of the Divine creation against an Evil force — this is true from the days of Lemuria and Atlantis, and the time of the battles of Horus against Seth in ancient Egypt. It is the fundamental basis of the Cabala, Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita Vedas, Upanishads, Zend-Avesta, Koran, and of course the Judeo-Christian sets of beliefs in the Bible and Tora. In these religious philosophies, Evil manipulation of the facts of this basic struggle of Good vs. Evil has distorted the origin of Evil, its manifestation and its significance in relation to man, but certainly has not questioned the existence of evil. "God" did not create evil to test man. Evil began as a self-evolving aberration from a subordinate member of the God-force which escaped the self-regulatory controls of the God-force Hierarchy as a result of a freak accident. Another argument put forward is that evil was created by "God" to test man and make him worthy of attaining salvation by conquering the temptations of the evil "He" had created as a test. To deny the existence of evil and to accept the argument that all experiences are valid is tantamount to accepting the evil philosophy and exposing oneself to all the dangers inherent in it. This is the first step for true beings in becoming evil. Likewise, to accept the fallacious argument that evil is a product of man’s folly is to deny the existence of our greatest enemy, the evil usurping demigod. This would then lend to a denial of his rebellion, a denial of his creation, which includes evil entities and demons and non-permanent atom beings, a denial of this war, a denial of our entrapment and spiritual s suffering and the need for liberation from this entrapment. [The article goes on and on and at the end says...] It makes a mockery of God’s message to us and a mockery of all the pain, suffering, humiliation, and emotional exploitation the true beings have endured for so long, awaiting the final descent of their creator and the liberation from the evil usurper’s vice-like grip."

Would Awareness comment on that, please…

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness suggests you reread the first sentence of that.

QUESTIONER READS:

"To deny the existence of evil and to accept the argument that all experiences are valid is tantamount to accepting the evil philosophy and exposing oneself to all the dangers inherent in it. This is the first step for true beings in becoming evil."

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that this entity’s concept or understanding of the denial of evil is that which is not the same as that which this Awareness has been discussing.

This Awareness indicates that It acknowledged earlier that you must admit there are horrendous activities that take place; there are also entities who act in manners that are horrendous.

This Awareness indicates that the nature of so-called "evil" is based on the feelings of separateness and that when this separateness feeling is energized and is called evil, it gains power.

This Awareness indicates that the very action of admitting and claiming and promoting the power of evil in the world, adds to that power. The action of denying that power, not to ignore the effects, but to deny the essence of evil, is to remove any energizing process to those demonic beings or those entities who have these beings based on and created by the concept of separateness.

Can Evil Be Segregated?

This Awareness indicates that in order for those Higher Light Beings of universal nature to have the final reckoning and to eliminate the evil from the universe, to eliminate the separateness from the universe, they must be able to integrate these entities, for you cannot segregate without creating greater separation.

This Awareness indicates that by segregating evil, classifying it as something that is, and is continuing to be, and to think that you can toss it out of the universe, out of the whole — where is it going to go? If the whole is the whole, where do you throw the garbage? The garbage has to be integrated, recycled, brought back in such a manner as to be reformed into something else.

This Awareness suggests therefore, that rather than thinking of evil as evil, you start looking at it as misconception, the misconception that is being held by certain entities whom you may call demons if that pleases you, but whose philosophy is based on the belief that they are separate from others, set apart from others, and that being set apart and separate gives them equal power.

his Awareness indicates that by looking at these so-called evil beings from this new light, and recognizing that they are living in a misconception, and rather than pointing at them and getting everyone to see them as evil, looking at them as poor insane beings who are living under a delusion of power from their separateness, and giving them little energy for their action, these entities will begin to wither.

They cannot live without all of that attention. They cannot survive without the attention that is given to them for their separateness.

Giving Life Energy to One Another Through Attention

It is because of this separateness that so many entities who find themselves becoming highly separated, doing things to draw attention to themselves; entities cannot live without some kind of attention. Thus, an entity who is alienated, who feels alienated and who does not feel it is possible to fit in with others, will turn to something of a negative nature and become antisocial in order to get attention, because attention is what gives the life energy to each other; as entities work together and attend each other through focusing, through awareness of each other, they give each other life energy.

This Awareness indicates that if an entity is totally isolated with no human contact whatsoever, with no living contact, the entity will not survive for any great length of time, yet that same entity, being put in a situation in which there are others who can give attention, may survive for many years or decades.

This Awareness indicates that likewise, it is with that so-called "evil." If you give it energy, if you say: "My, what a villain that fellow is! Wow! How great a villain! What a fantastic villain!" — the entity just loves the attention and the energy that comes from it. But if you totally ignore that entity, and you simply say: "The mischief that entity causes sure does reflect his poor situation," and you have sympathy for the entity for being so deluded, the entity doesn’t gain the same kind of energy.

In School: Attention to the Victim Not the Violator

These entities thrive on hostility. They don’t thrive on sympathy. They don’t thrive on being ignored.

This Awareness suggests that the Windsong School is an example. In most schools, when a child violates another child the parents and teachers focus on the violator. In the Windsong School they immediately focus on the victim, rush to the victim, assist the victim: "Are you all right?" The attention does not go to the violator in the initial moments; it goes to the victim, and then, after all the attention has been played out, they quietly take the other student out of the room, where little attention can be given to him. This Awareness indicates this has been extremely effective in keeping down violence in the school, for when an entity gets great attention for negative behavior, the entity thrives on that attention.

The Power of Attention: Very Important to Understand

This Awareness indicates that it is important for entities to understand the power of attention. The power of attention is such that it can heal and it can destroy.

Attention can heal entities, and attention can destroy,

But likewise, attention can be withheld, and the withholding of attention leaves an entity reflecting on himself for his own attention, leaves an entity looking to himself and attending himself, trying to find something of significance, and when an entity who is in an action of negative behavior cannot get outside attention for that negative behavior and must turn inward to look at himself, he generally does not like those things that he sees.

It is different when others don’t like the things they see in him. He can smile and enjoy all of the attention, even though it’s negative, but when he is alone and looking at his own self and doesn’t like the things he sees, it isn’t nearly as fun.

Dealing With Demons in Your Life

This Awareness indicates therefore, in giving the attention to the negative behavior, you strengthen that negative behavior unless, in the process of attending to it, you can communicate with the being sufficiently to get them to recognize that they will receive greater rewards from positive behavior than from negative behavior, but who takes the time to deal with a demon, to talk to the demon  about his or her negative behavior to try to get the demon to behave in a more positive way?

It’s not the nature to reform demons, it’s the nature of entities who believe in demons to want to destroy them, and that simply gives the demon more demonic energy, makes them more desperate.

This Awareness suggests that in dealing with the so-called negative demonic beings, assuming that they can never be anything else puts them in a class of separation that can never have a place in a unified universe and so casts them out, but where do they go? Perhaps to the other side of the universe, to make mischief over there.

They’ll be back.

This Awareness indicates the best way to deal with demons is to deny the evil in them and to start modifying the demon, modifying their behavior, giving them light, wrapping them in light, putting the Light of Christ in them and around them, molding the Christ Light in and through them, stick those crosses on them, visualize them holding the Holy Grail, visualize the demons standing there, looking up, kneeling to Christ, looking up adoringly to Christ. Suddenly the demon no longer has power of evil.

You can reform those demons, or you can make these demons.

The universe is processing information and each of you is presenting information that can be processed. This Awareness suggests that if you have demons in your life, visualize them kneeling before Christ. Visualize them repenting for their sins.
