old3bob Posted yesterday at 11:18 AM (edited) So how many of us recognize that evil is more or less running wild in the world with horrific actions, (and that in most cases silence anywhere or by anyone about same is an indirect form of helping that evil) none of the great masters so often quoted here were silent when it came to dealing with evil...aka the adharmic.

old3bob Posted 19 hours ago (edited) The adharmic actions per the lowest chakras and their related hell realms and their evils are described in Hinduism as: "While the main seven-chakra system ends at the Muladhara (root chakra), some traditions describe seven additional chakras below it, extending down the legs and feet, representing deeper primal instincts, fears, and connections to the earth, including Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Talatala, Rasatala, Mahatala, and Patala" with the patala being of ruthless malice and horrible murder which we are seeing a lot of manifestation of same talking place on Earth and which btw philosophical, non-dualistic and or humanistic talk is out-right mocked and laughed at by beings operating in those lower realms. The only things that such evil recognizes are great will power and the purity of spiritual light directed against it. There is light at the end of tunnel so hanging on and guarding at muladhara and above is what all wholesome spiritual teachings are about, if we fall lower there is hell to pay.

Lairg Posted 17 hours ago It may be that good and evil are human constructs. Perhaps the process of galactic unfoldment is cyclical with a phase of organization being followed by a phase of disorganization. No doubt many predators facilitate the destruction of the old - but is that evil or does it accelerate development of the new? For example, across this planet humans are losing faith in their forms of government. This is likely to lead to a period of disorder while new formats are developed. Is disorder evil? Perhaps it is necessary. How to smooth the process? I suggest good-hearted humans recognize each other and join together to generate new social and spiritual systems.

Haribol Posted 17 hours ago 4 minutes ago, old3bob said: your last sentence was fine imo, the rest sounded like foolish B.S. I do not think so. Destruction (of the old) is nessesaryfor creation of the new. To create a tree house one has to cut down trees. Ofc I don’t like the suffering and government overreach caused by a very natural virus indeed, but it did wake a f ton of people up to what kind of forces operate in this world. Same with the guy that certainly did kill himself. It is impossible in the long run to not cause change when stuff like this gets surfaced. And at a certain point I believe the ball will start running with such speed there is no way that mass evil at that scale can continue to exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Btw, you got to be kidding about a review since this is a spiritual topic...that applies to most all people and their lives in one way or another here on earth. Was the holocaust only political or also of great spiritual darkness.... Edited 15 hours ago by old3bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems you are being 'hunted ' for any hint of something that 'someone' ( that reports people a lot ) does not like . IMO its in the eye of the beholder . My eye sees your question as 'is evil running wild in the world' . Yep ... always has been . Ya know , war was always evil ( yes a human judgment indeed , but these are human affairs ) , nasty, death dealing , horrific . violent .... but it wasnt until Vietnam War got blasted via TV into our lounger rooms that people started realizing how bad things were in the modern world .

We also have some people who willfully and knowingly align themselves with evil. I'd also add that it is impossible to be truly enlightened without facing and overcoming any evil that may be in oneself and also outside oneself. (along with any pretenses or silences of being above it all and or that ignoring same is nuts) Edited 5 hours ago by old3bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The people who can see it are scared, and view themselves as weak, and they don't want to "rock the boat". The solution is for all the people who feel like that to unite as one, and do something about it. The problem becomes convincing them all to adopt the mindset of "together we can change this", from "I am weak and powerless, and nothing I do matters".

steve Posted 22 minutes ago I wonder what value there is in ascribing the negative characteristics and manifestations we see as “evil” as opposed to human? It feels to me that it is a way to distance ourselves or absolve ourselves of responsibility, a form of dehumanization such as is used to normalize atrocities. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
