Good VS Evil

You are good when you love yourself and your brothers. Yet you are not evil when you feel separated. God needs the confused for the aware to teach what they know, the sick for the healers to heal those who need them, the tormentors for the meek to grow up as heroes, the rain for the rainbow to lift up your heart.

You are good when you offer your true gifts to the world and help everyone grow. Yet you are not evil when you are trying to get rich all alone. When you are giving you are the fruit of the world, when you are taking you are the root of the world. To the fruit giving is its need, to the root taking is its need, to the tree giving and taking are both needs, for without taking it cannot give. The fruit cannot say “be like me unselfish and giving” for without the roots the fruit can never grow.

You are good when you are conscious of your words. Yet you are not evil when you speak without thinking. God speaks through each of us and every word you say serves a purpose somewhere in space and time. For the words that are cruel does not make you evil, they are only memories action you will carry within you. It is your own duty to bring about balance, for every word of cruelty there will be ten words of compassion. God speaks through each of us, yet we choose from infinite possibilities.

You are good when you seek to become the best. Yet you are not evil when you are lazy and unmotivated.

You are good when you feel compassion for your brothers. Yet you are not evil when you are blinded by your ego. Remember a ship lost in the ocean can survive many months without sinking to the bottom - it is simply lost at the moment. Awakening happens at the blink of an eye.

You are good when you speak of love. Yet you are not evil when you speak of hate. It is by rejecting something completely that you are able to accept it wholeheartedly. It is by carrying the heavy stones of hatred you are able to appreciate the freedom of forgiveness.

You are good because you were born that way. You cannot be evil because in a world that is controlled by God, there cannot be any evil. Darkness is not energy - it is simply void waiting to be filled with light. Fear is not real - it is simply a confusion of space and time.

You are good because you are. You are good because you are divine!
