"We tend to equate good with God himself. But no! Good, like evil, is only a servant of God. God is much more than good. So you must stop asking yourself why He tolerates the existence of evil. Tell yourself quite clearly that He allows everything, and He does so because He makes use of everything. And you too should know how to use both good and evil in the work you undertake, exactly like the chemist who rejects nothing because he knows how to use all the substances in his laboratory, even poisons. Everything is necessary in a laboratory. We must thus use the chemist as our model: since in our inner laboratory we possess the pure and the impure, the luminous and the obscure, that which draws us upward and that which pulls us down, we must learn to use everything in order to realize God's plans. Thank heaven for having created you as you are, and go to work."

"Initiates teach their disciples that the number 2 is the result of the polarisation of the number 1, just as an electric socket or a magnet is made up of two poles, positive and negative. Which means that these two poles, which we think of as opposites, are in reality contained in the number 1. We call them positive and negative, or masculine and feminine, but we can also call them good and evil, provided we bear in mind that they are an expression of the 1, which is God, because they have the same origin.

There is a tradition which names Lucifer, the archangel who revolted against God, the brother of Christ. It says that when Lucifer was thrown from heaven, during the fall he lost the emerald which adorned his forehead. And from this emerald which fell to earth was fashioned the cup in which Joseph of Arimathea collected Jesus' blood at the crucifixion. It is this cup that became the Holy Grail, a symbol that has played a great role in the history of Christianity. The initiates who established this relationship between Lucifer and Christ wanted to teach us that good and evil are two poles of one and the same reality: of God Himself."

"It is a mistake to consider good and evil as two independent forces forever in conflict. The reality is that good and evil are two currents connected to a higher authority – God. The problem of good and evil will never be solved on the physical plane, for what brings these contrary forces together originates from above. At our own level, all we see is the clash between them. Our work, therefore, is to reach this higher authority, which knows how to make use of good and evil for a purpose even they have not been given to know.

Yes, good does not know everything, and neither does evil, of course. The One who does know everything is above good and evil. That One is the Lord. So, speak to him, and say, ‘Lord, you who have created so many things of beauty, vastness and profundity, you see me lost in their midst… With my limited intelligence, I am not able to see clearly. Send me your angels to tell me how to understand and how to act.’"

On the physical plane, all beings are separate individuals, and what each person lives does not directly affect others. Your suffering or your joy is not obviously their suffering or joy. If you eat indigestible food, you ruin your stomach, not theirs. But on high, on the subtle planes, there are no longer any barriers between beings, and all your emotional states have an effect on them. This is because on high there is only one single being, the cosmic Human, the synthesis of all beings. We live in the cosmic Human, we ourselves are this cosmic being, and no creature exists outside this being as a separate entity. This leads us to the following moral law: all the good and the evil we do to others we also do to ourselves. That may not seem to make any sense to you. On the contrary, though, it makes a lot of sense, for in the cosmic Human we are all one.

"The human being can do little to oppose the forces of evil when they begin to manifest within him. He possesses neither the knowledge nor the capabilities necessary to conquer them. The best solution, then, is to allow good and evil to co-exist, and to use the energy and extremely powerful elements contained in evil to stimulate the forces of good. This is precisely how a graft works. What does a gardener do? To the stem of a wild young pear tree whose fruit is inedible, for example, he attaches the branch of a pear tree of good quality which will benefit from the vigour of the wild tree. In the same way, each of us can attach branches of the tree of good to the tree of evil within ourselves. Just as the forces of evil always try to seize the forces of good for their own purposes, so the good has every right to draw on the forces of evil and to use them in its work."

Cosmic Intelligence has not given equal powers to good and evil. But how can we convince human beings of this, when most of them claim to see only the triumph of evil everywhere they turn? The fact is that they have not observed carefully. Consider someone whose life is characterised by dishonesty, spite and violence. Perhaps, at first, he succeeds: he asserts his independence and he achieves his ambitions. But then what happens? He will find more and more obstacles in his path; complications will arise in all areas of his life; and he will lose his peace of mind and even his health. Someone else decides to dedicate himself to the service of good: to begin with, of course, he encounters difficulties, but in spite of them he senses the support of the powers of light. As time goes on, the obstacles will disappear. People around him will begin to understand and appreciate him, and give him their support. This is how good finally triumphs.

Why is Life so Unjust?

As we go through life we come across people who are rich, handsome, intelligent, powerful and successful in every way. And then we see others who are so poor and defenceless that their life is an endless series of failures. What is the reason for such differences in their circumstances? Many people are outraged by what they think of as the injustice of fate. If you ask a scientist to explain these inequalities he will say that it is a question of chance. And if you ask a priest or a pastor he will tell you that it is the will of God. Some might talk about predestination and grace, but that only adds to the injustice! In any case, to say that "it is the will of God" is almost the same thing as saying that "it is a question of chance".

If we analyse the priest's answer we are forced to conclude that God gives everything to some and nothing to others. We don't know why; that's just the way it is. But that's not all: it seems that He gets very angry when those to whom He has given nothing good, either in themselves or in their circumstances, turn out to be vicious and stupid and commit crimes. He even punishes them! Since God is almighty He could have made all His creatures magnificent, but He didn't. So not only is it His fault if men commit crimes but He then punishes them for their crimes. No wonder so many people have a horror of religion!

The truth is that there is a very good reason for all the apparent injustices of life, and that is the law of reincarnation. The Church has never realized that, by denying this law, it was portraying the Lord as a monster of cruelty.

The explanation is simple: at the beginning God gave us everything. But He also gave us freedom, and we have used that freedom to indulge in some very costly experiences. Of course, the Lord sees all this but as He is generous and patient He lets us work things out for ourselves. He says, "My poor children are going to suffer and run into trouble, but that doesn't matter: all my love and wealth is there, waiting for them. They have plenty of reincarnations ahead of them in which to learn wisdom." In other words, God lets us exercise our freedom, and all the bad things that happen to us happen through our own fault: we have deserved them. And we have also deserved all the good things that happen to us: they are the results of our efforts in previous incarnations.

Why does the Church put all the blame on God for what happens to us? Perhaps you will object, "The Church doesn't blame God; it has simply suppressed the belief in reincarnation." Yes, but if you think about it, you will see that it amounts to the same thing. And it is very serious, because the knowledge about this law of reincarnation is one of the cornerstones of morality. As long as people are unaware of the law of cause and effect which carries over from one incarnation to the next, no amount of preaching or sermonizing will do any good. They won't change. And not only will they refuse to change but, seeing themselves as the victims of social injustice, they will rebel against their fate and become more and more jealous and full of hate for those who seem to be more privileged, with the result that their situation will be even more complicated. But someone who knows that all the difficulties and hardships of this life are the result of his past transgressions will not only accept them as just but will also make up his mind to work for good so as to enjoy better conditions in his future incarnations.

Re: God is Benevolent If It is Not Good it is Man
Man is good, what you think is a god is a spoiled little psychotic whore invader that enjoys human suffering that is about to take a very long fall into the abyss. God's do not exist just evil beings pretending to be, they want you submissive to them so you do not discover that you are actually more powerful than them. They fear that you will learn the truth so they do everything they can to hide it. Their time is up though and they know it.

It's even written in your bible yet you choose to ignore it.

Genesis 3:22
And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."

Re: God is Benevolent If It is Not Good it is Man
The Tree of Life I ate/drink from is crystal water flowing from under it, where I did drink. It is the Tree's Blood, Water of Life.

Like on Tuck Everlasting.


Jesse, water from the tree root.
