evil running wild in the world

[old3bob]

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

When was the world not being run by evil?

 

Mod Notice-- the thread is under review for being political.

Another Mod/Admin will likely hide and/or lock.

when there was more of a balance at various times and places....lets remember the wounded  can be the most dangerous and the evil on Earth knows its days are numbered thus its doing as much damage as possible before then.  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....

He's not kidding, it has been requested to be reviewed.

Was I the only one who read the title and thought of this.

No ... probably other people that watch similar brain rot  , and compare that , cartoons . comics, TV shows to  reality  thought of that .

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 .  ( Excepting the unfortunate who had to live through such things ) 

 

And with the advent of modern 'improvements' in communication , I think we are certainly now more aware of what goes on - outside of our insular , air con , electronic environs  .   The safety of western civilization is collapsing  and will effect more 'safe ' people as time goes on ......  regardless of who runs things  (  some may invoke more of it some less ) .... its an inevitable collapse  due to the false foundations it was based on ( ie. ideas of unlimited resources and economic  formulas of ever increasing expansion ) .

well I'd say much of what passes for human affairs takes place on the surface (so to speak) but that there can also be elements underneath that which are demonic affairs that sometimes seduce, drive or infect impressionable humans .  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)

I have to say, I am pretty happy in the world I live, and I don't think evil is running wild.

Maybe this report will answer your question:

 

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse

 

I fully agree with it.

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.”

 

Right now the reason evil is running wild is because it is invisible to a large portion of people, even when presented with proof of it, their mind cannot see it. 

 

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".

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.

ask all the enlightened or advanced masters and students  worth their salt why they are not afraid to use terms like  "evil, demonic, and hell realms or beings" in their spiritual teachings & warnings that give and have protections against same,   (along with graphic depiction's of such like on the Tibetan Wheel of Life and so many other examples across a very board spectrum of ways and religions) some of which have lineages and precepts going back thousands of years...

and some are not afraid since they know that their all mighty intellect is far superior to what they label as opiates of  religious and spiritual folks...

There´s plenty of bad around if you look for it.  And yet the sun still shines and the grass still grows.  Look around and you´ll discover people painting, writing books, eagerly awaiting the right time to plant spring flowers.  Kindness is everywhere.  To see the good is not to deny the bad; on the contrary, our awareness of the good will give us the strength we need to deal with the darkness.

Then the devil played another trick; convincing the the world there was only one devil.

Ah folks see it. How could it be invisible?

It's been broadcasted non-stop to the point, folks have become desensitized to it.

"Rocking the boat" causes collateral damage as well. It isn't that folks are scared and weak, it is a sobering situation, and needs addressed in a way not rushed, which plays into the elites hands.

 

Oh, shit, did I equate elites with evil?!

Not necessarily, although,,,

Don't hold your breath on everyone uniting as one.

There are small groups that have stated objectives of holding accountable the ones who are dangled by the strings. The ones dangling and tugged by those strings are the truly weak. 

These intrigues are often inside jobs and border on the political fringes 

What usually happens in times like these, when the curtain has been drawn open and evil takes off its mask, is the world is dragged into major war.

The 4th generation theory 

Because it is held by the elites that after a big war,  folks can be controlled for three generations.

 

Civil wars prevent revolution.

 

Evil has carefully constructed presumably safe haven hideouts to weather the coming storm and the rest of us face horrendous odds of merely surviving.

Let alone, feel good about it.

 

There was a mural I was shown in 1978, in an air force  hardened bunker,9 forecasting today's landscape and the coming aftermath; there was a caption: 

"The living will envy the dead"

 

Apologies everyone for posting this.

And, sometimes perhaps, predictive murals get it wrong.

There is always hope.

 

There are already places where there is no room for the faint of heart. Perhaps coming soon to a location near you.

 

Spoiler

 

Set at the precipice of world war one; some mysterious elusive phantom madman as the evil behind the madness.

 

After two world wars in the past century, the mystery no longer remains. The question of elusive remains.

 

 

So, there could be some facsimile of a grand uprising. They do occur, rarely.

Civil wars, mixed with the larger war mostly. Every now and then a true revolution.

 

My approach is on the side of choosing to be Meek. Not to be confused with weak.

A holistic grass roots effort, emphasizing kindness and service to the poor and downtrodden.i deliver meals to disabled seniors  it is a little thing. But enough little things by those on the other side of the spectrum than the elite, do add up.

If you imply there is only 1 evil, then I would disagree.   There are big evils, small evils, outward evils, hidden evils, latent evils....  All these change all the time.  And all of us are or have evil inside us too.    If everyone has god nature, then everyone should have evil nature.  It is just the level that matters.

Just like the gods and goddesses, I see these more as convenient anthropomorphic representations of human qualities and characteristics and of unexplainable natural phenomena. Some positive (gods and goddesses) and some negative (demons). I’m not afraid to use the terms but I think they are less necessary and less meaningful in the context of modern knowledge.

The question is: have you rooted out the evil in yourself?

 

Plenty of dark side in all of us.

ok, and while you are at it Luke take a good look at well recorded history that shows when and how those humanistic virtues are or have been systematically destroyed and how naivety about that destruction continues and does not help preserve same...Granted we can still find some safe places and kindness in mankind for awhile but for how long and where as we also see malicious darkness and murder making gains,  where do North Koreans, Russians, Chinese, many South and Central American peoples,  many Indonesian's,  Mexicans, many middle Eastern and far East peoples, many Europeans, Nordic areas of peoples, Ukrainian's, countless indigenous peoples, Africans, many various Asians and also North Americans go to or how they hopefully maintain such freedoms without a fight for same or to reclaim such on multiple levels?  (and lets not forget some Australian peoples who have suffered greatly from genocide as have many Indian peoples around the world have ,  along with many Indian people in India and countries nearby it whose people suffer in crushing poverty!)
