The Excuses For Evil
The Pilgrim’s Walking Stick: The Excuses For Evil
As taught in The Earth Center schools, there is not one single person on Earth who is born with the ambition to destroy the world. We all are born with the noble ambition to contribute to the good, the preservation of our planet, and life on Earth. But we generally end on the opposite side of what we would like to be. Generally, at the end of our life, we recognize only the acts we have imposed on our planet that we find acceptable. The human being does not have the ambition to be the symbol of the evil on Earth; we all have within us that feeling of innocence - a small voice that shouts within us the fact that we are innocent. This small voice shouts very loudly of our goodness while our actions are still proof of the evil that inhabits us.
Maybe this is why we all love the possibility that we have of believing. The fact that we (human beings) possess what we call faith or belief always gives us the possibility of creating within this world of facts, proofs, or reality another world made of what we have chosen to believe in. The belief then, by allowing a human being to escape the existential reality that we often find oppressive, becomes the most comfortable path through which the human being advances toward degeneration. According to the human perspective, since it is impossible to survive or even to influence the becoming of the universe and existence, the belief simply can replace that universe and become for us the world that we accept. It is this world that we can change because it is the fruit of our imagination and our perception... etc.
The human being simply believes the world; he believes in what he sees, what he touches, what he senses, what he hears, etc. He believes it in the most fanatic way. He believes it so much that he finds self-evident anything that he perceives through his senses. This is despite the fact that we recognize that our eyes do not see all the categories of light, objects, entities, etc., and our ears do not hear all the sounds, etc.
This simple fact would force us to exercise doubt in what we perceive if, on the social level, we did not have our neighbors with the same faults as us to insist that they are perceiving what we are perceiving. By convincing us that we are perceiving the same things, society or the group becomes the world of mega-perception, a sort of global consciousness that is by itself made of a world inside which the belief and the individual perception are the crucial elements of the collective consciousness.
This is why we can say that we are the product of our society. We would only see the evil we commit if the collective consciousness disassociates itself from our behavior.
The human being by his essence is very vulnerable and subject to the ambitions of his educator; the person who has linked his personal interests into the nature of the collective consciousness. The individual then cannot be accused of the fate of the planet; he is only the last stage in the sequence of events triggered a long time before his birth. His education, religion, etc., are the sequences that precede the act that is destructive to the world. This observation then sets the responsibility of the fate of humanity on those who thought they were intelligent enough to decide the direction that our education should take. In the same logic, those who educate the individual of the modern society are in reality like the mad scientists who turn this world into a laboratory in which they build monsters.
If no individual is born in this world with the ambition to destroy the world, it becomes very important that we try to understand how we ended up becoming what we do not want to be. Whatever the diversity of the excuses we bring, these excuses by themselves shed light on one fact: our perception of good, evil, sacred, profane, etc. only have the qualities that have been allocated to them by our imagination and fantasy. If we persist in believing in our goodness despite the fact that we are destroying our neighbor and despite the quantity of tears and blood that flows around us, we must recognize that we are using our belief and faith like a life preserver in the sea of blood and tears that is eternal. In this case, holding onto the life preserver is a useless act because there cannot be an island or continent of serenity or peace in an ocean of suffering, destruction and self-destruction. There is no continent or island to reach. This Earth is our home; these neighbors are our brothers and sisters; it is the evil that inhabits us that we project onto them. Their blood is no less red than ours.
In order to lead the individual into so much insensitivity and unconsciousness, it is simply important to the leaders of the modern society that the domain of perception remains the only base on which the individual functions. Contrary to reality, perception is subject to manipulation and conditioning in education. Taking into consideration the fact that the individual firmly believes in his perceptions, it becomes very alarming to realize the vulnerable nature of the individual in relation to his educator.
The individual facing the world will only have his intentions as tools. But what can our intentions of good do against the evil we are causing? Taking into consideration the fact that those who have educated us only had ambitions of organizing society into their ideals, the individual will walk on the path of partnership with the society even if that society is walking straight towards self-destruction and the destruction of the planet.
By wiping from the collective memory the idea of the model of the Gods that we call the perfect model, the leaders of the modern society know very well that they have eliminated the moral and spiritual reason of social existence. The model of the Gods unites us through the fact that we all find it perfect. If the model of the Gods is perfect, it is good and it represents our concept of good. By introducing monotheism, our leaders have destroyed the world of the Gods within us. They have destroyed what within the history of humanity we have always considered the example to follow. Even our idea of love for our neighbor now comes to us in the form of an order or advice that is empty and does not have an example of love within it, leaving society and its leaders the power to define what that love should mean for the individual.
Of course, the politician will use this situation to his full advantage, transforming the society into a sort of gang, a partnership in crime, nationalism, patriotism, etc., forcing the individual into only spending his life to prove his loyalty to the group instead of advancing towards the world of the Gods!
As long as the individual does not keep his eyes on the model of the Gods, the values he develops will only have the authority society dedicates to them through its ability to intimidate or even punish those who dare to doubt its legitimacy. The destiny of humanity and the Earth will not preoccupy the individual if that individual is only working towards proving his importance to other humans.
On the individual level, the modern society by itself offers excuses for the evil it has cultivated in us and we are so hypnotized by our intentions and excuses that the results of our actions do not appear to count enough to trouble our sleep when we think of the destruction we are bringing to the planet, world, nature, humanity, and ourselves.
Christianity has even pushed the envelope of this carelessness by promoting to the individual the idea that his God is so good that it will forgive him and forgive his actions!!!
The idea of that divine forgiveness puts the individual consciousness to sleep, to the point that he does not wonder if there is on this Earth or somewhere in the universe a being that will happily accept seeing its work be destroyed!? If there is a God that will forgive the destruction of the world and will not do anything to protect what he has created, that God surely did not create the world! Because nobody and no entity will happily accept the destruction of its work.
Only the barbaric doctrines pushing the human being and the world into barbarism want the evil to be acceptable. Only Set and the forces of Evil trying to dominate the planet would be working towards making a human being accept evil as a decor of human existence.
This is what the individual must resist if we do not want Gods to turn their back on our planet and on humanity. We must avoid letting evil use us as an excuse for its existence on Earth.
