All the potential for good and for evil lie within each one
of us. Just as out of a man can come such good, likewise out of the same man
can come such evil. The side of this double-edged sword that we decide to use
depends on whom we have chosen to become, starting from the time when no one is
watching. It's amazing how over time we've come to blame the Devil for the evil
that we find ourselves expressing from time to time. This is not at all
surprising. The concept of the Devil was a very easy way for man to stop being responsible
for his actions & words, and subsequently blame someone (anybody) else for whatever
he has done or as a result, brought upon himself. And because of this age-old
blame game, we do not see that we have simply activated the Law of Attraction
and are therefore under its influence; or that we are the result of
what we think in our heart over and again; or that we say one thing and really believe
something else. As a result of this, our minds are terribly under-developed
& untrained, and all we're doing is getting older & more foolish. An
enemy has done this, yes. But the enemy is within us, not without. Then comes
the question, "How then can good and evil reside in one entity?" The
answer is, that's how we're wired; that's how we began.
Time
and again, captivating moments consisting of the written, the read, the spoken,
the heard & the felt, have tried to help us understand this truth, whether we are
aware of those moments or not, that God is the source and origin of all things...everything. Everything seen and unseen, mortal and
immortal, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, wet and dry, modest and
outrageous, quiet and loud, sexy and naive, big and small, dangerous and
harmless, savage and tame, sweet and bitter, bright and dull, comes from God. Everything we like and do not like,
everything we understand and do not understand, everything we know and do not
know (and there's a whole universe of stuff that we still do not know about)
comes from God. The moment we say "everything except this or that",
then we strip God of a title that was never even needed to be given in the first
place. And if we attempt to decide what is and isn't a part of everything, then
we begin to lie to ourselves about who God truly is. And then we take the next
step and begin to teach others those lies about God that we've begun to
believe. This begs the following question, "What exactly do we believe
about the God whom we profess to wholeheartedly believe in?"
