The road to hell is paved with good intentions

[Apech]

THE VOICE OF THE DEVIL

 

 

 

 

All Bibles or sacred codes, have been the causes of the following Errors.

1. That Man has two real existing principles Viz: a Body & a Soul.

2. That Energy, call'd Evil, is alone from the Body, & that Reason, call'd Good, is alone from the Soul.

3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.

 

But the following Contraries to these are True.

1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that call'd Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.

2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.

3. Energy is Eternal Delight.

very cool

[eye_of_the_storm]

Hell is a state of mind and if anyone can end up there if you lack wisdom no matter how positive your intentions are. I may well be there right now.

 

True

 

are we already in hell?

 

I suppose it is no laughing matter...

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions; presumably the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions?

Very good point!

 

I think when the good intentions are meddled with is more probable. For instance, Jesus in my eyes was teaching love and selflessness, (Pure and Good intention), then others took his words and turned them into a religion and tradition (Same as many other prophets), manipulated them to suite their purposes and way of thinking. Then they perpetuated it so well that it is still a form of power today. We allow it because there isn't anything in science to really explain and define love objectively. Love is a subjective phenomena, and every religion is seemingly trying to control that, and convince others that it is theirs to "own", AHAHAHAH!

Good/bad don't really serve us much, besides in revealing our own judgements.

 

Usually "good/bad" come from other people, spoonfed to us at a younger age. This is where I did my research:

Forward the video to 1:34 and keep replaying that part untill your head explodes from cuteness overload. Good luck

I think the road to heaven is paved with good intentions too or maybe no intentions.

 

I'm not even sure such a thing as an ultimately bad intention exists

That's a really interesting take on things - I need to think about that.

Can't argue with that one!

Aside from lack of knowlege,

1)

folks truly have different ideas about what a good thing is.

Missionaries might think they are doing benefit

like when they drag folks out of a forest home

to "civilize them" destroying a vibrant way of life they do not respect

 

2)

Wanting to consider themselves good ,

folks meddle and interfere

Often they do not really care

whether their actions are actually of benefit to the recipient,

so long as they can pat themselves on the back about it..

 

3)

a person getting involved in others business

becomes embroiled in things which do not concern them

and once they feel the pinch of it they abandon the issue

leaving a greater mess

 

4)

folks often believe that the actions they take

are 'good vs bad' or 'justified'

depending on how they 'feel' about it

rather than based on the nature of the action itself

,or its ramifications.

 

5)

A bad translation might take it to mean that

good intentions of folks pave the way for other folks to do evil

good causing evil

Or that being nice makes evil happen
