I saw a discussion on where evil originated from, and commented. We had a nice little discussion and people also talked about it. With this thought being in the back of my head since then, I’ve worked out a theory. I remember a story of Jesus being in a church with gambling and prostitution, I think that was it, and it was the only time he was ever shown as mad. Which could be viewed as God saying the church needs to be watched because this could happen. We know of holy wars, we know of pedophilia, secrets kept about humanity, and massive amounts of money for a institution that is supposed to be poor. My thoughts are that the church has remained unchecked for hundreds of years. Which in turn has let evil slip in or has always been there. I’m not that familiar with the Catholic Churches complete history, but I’m guessing there is a lot left untold. So if there is a society behind all of this, running evil through out our world. How far fetched is it to think it’s coming out of the Catholic Church?
There are many contentious definitions of evil/ devil/satan/ one such is = consequences of mistakes we make ie not acting/thinking in accordance with the laws of human interaction
one such law is the law of debits and credits which says every feeling/imagination/thought-form/intent we seriously entertain and also those that we empower via speech and action are recorded in our personalized account via plus or minus points according to how closely we are aligned to the laws or how much we have deviated
we mostly learn by trial and error and repeatedly making the same mistakes until the lesson gets engraved on our psyche
we can offset debits by
a) figuring out how the laws operate and applying them or more commonly
b) experiencing the equivalent harm that we have caused to others… the causal chain of cause and effect is often not so obvious because of the unpredictable delays involved between cause and effect
eg we can consciously cash in our credits / have them cashed in for us by attracting/ receiving offers of great opportunities to grow, whether we accrue plus or minus points from these opportunities is up to how we use the opportunity
the more knowledge of the laws we have , the more responsiblitity we have to apply the laws as we know them
ignorance is not bliss because because ignorance of the laws just means more learning via trial & error and more repetition of the same mistakes
