The Ten Points to Freedom

Chapter Five - What is Good and Evil

We find it somewhat difficult to define Good and Evil in the earth language as that concept never expressed itself on this side. We dealt with the same problem when we were on your side. That problem was for us, just as troublesome as it is for some of you. You will need to keep an open mind and it would be to your benefit if you could say that you have mastered the understanding of the previous four lessons. In any event, we will try to explain in the most simple of terms the meaning of GOOD and EVIL as understood on our side and as it is seen on your side.

The birth of good and evil came into being when a certain group of people who called themselves "God's Chosen" decided that humanity needed a set of rules to live by. These rules were set up to keep the mass's under control. What better way than to set down these rules under the auspices of "God's Word." They started out with good intentions, but found that it was very easy to control the masses who were more than willing to be controlled. So the story of Adam and Eve gave birth to a far different meaning. It was at their birth place "The Garden Of Eden" that they were introduced to humanity as a man and woman who knew nothing of Good or Evil. The story tells that a snake caused Eve to tempt Adam with an apple from the tree of knowledge, thereby giving them the same knowledge as God. Yes, to become as God. Adam and Eve were put on earth as an expression of God's thought. When they came into being they were without sin. Another way of saying that they were innocent or without experience. A truer statement would be that they were both soulless beings.

Now, the very first experience they had was to taste of the fruit from the tree of knowledge. They saw themselves as being naked, having no clothing, (or without experience.) They covered themselves and were ashamed. We were told that they were with sin. This simple story was then attached to the fact that being naked somehow had a connection with sexual pleasure, and as a result, Adam and Eve were punished. Adam would live by the sweat of his brow, and Eve would give birth while suffering a great deal of pain for disobeying. We were never told how this connection was made. Before eating the apple Adam and Eve were not able to pass judgment, because for them Good and Evil did not exist. After eating the apple they knew Good and Evil, but when they acquired the ability to judge, they lost their immortality and God introduced them to death. The herd still has a great deal of difficulty with Sex and Death. These subjects have been carefully avoided by the masses. The true meaning of the sex act has been hidden from the masses by the brotherhood, which we will discuss in another lesson. Death has been used as a tool by those in power on your earth plane, to yield even more control over those who would dare to think for themselves.

You need only to read into the creation of earth to better understand the truth. Not as you would like it to be, but as it truly is.

However with time the story changed so many times that no one is sure of the true meaning of Adam and Eve and the reason they were caused to feel ashamed of their reproductive organs. Could it be that once they received the knowledge, the realization set in that truly they were creators and they were expressing a small part of the God's creative process? Was humanity led to believe that sex was sinful, or was there an another secret meaning to this story? Was sin created by those in high places to give them control over the masses? Were Good and Evil created by a certain group of people in order to keep humanity in a state of sleep and fear, thereby giving them more power over the masses? Have you asked yourself the question how an all loving God would create in its image and likeness, knowing that they would want to become as their creators and be able to create in their image and then condemn them to damnation for wanting to be like their creator. Loved ones, think, is there another meaning to the story of Adam and Eve? Does the sex act have a meaning different than what you where told by those who by their own standards, knew all the answers? Maybe it would be more proper to say they wanted you to think they knew all the answers thereby making humanity subject to their control. What better way to control than to have humanity believe that every thing they did or thought was subject to being Good or Evil, and that their authority was given to them by God. They convinced the herd that God gave them the authority to decide what was Good and what was Evil.

Then it was taken a step further, and over time the masses were lead to believe they had no control over their destiny. The hold became stronger, to the point if you did not accept what THEY presented as a truth, you were tortured and put to death. The ones who separated themselves from the herd were called devils, witches and heretics. Then after they were beaten and tortured into submission, they would confess that they were evil and then were put to death in sight of the public. This process did indeed convince the masses that the group of know it alls' were correct and led by God. Armies were built to go into other lands and destroy all those who refused to accept the teachings of the ones who knew it all. This army was called the crusaders and killed under the banner of the man Jesus Christ.

The masses found it very easy to accept this thought of Good and Evil as they were relieved of any wrong doing by having the know it all's take the responsibly of deciding what was right or wrong for them. This went on for so long and with new Good and Evil added to the list continually, all of humanity came to believe in the lie that this was GOOD and that was EVIL. The herd now is to the point that their growth has decayed due to their thinking process, and that They do this judging while they themselves are being judged by another and so on and so on. One needs only a very small amount of common sense to come to the realization that all is Gods, therefore all is Good. How can it be different? Look around you and see how humanity conducts themselves. Do they not think as a unit? Do they not make decisions based upon what the know it all's decide is right or wrong?

If you go against the know it all's it is called breaking the law and you will be punished. We are not speaking of the laws of the so called land, but of the laws of the herd, which is based upon the law of so called Good and Evil. Your laws for society must be enforced as to avoid complete chaos. The law of the ones who profess to know what is spiritually correct for the herd has only their need of control in their soul and has nothing to do with spirituality. Most of humanity has no concept as to the power the leaders of this group hold over them. They have them by the throats and will not let go until the ones being held realize that they themselves have the power to free themselves. All the Good you see in your plane is of your own creation, and all of the Evil you see in your plane is also your creation. We know that there are those that will never be able to accept this, so long as they're in the physical body and are caught up in the herd, and this is not wrong. It simply means that the fruit has not ripened as yet and is still in the process of development. However when the fruit ripens it must be taken or it will rot on the bush or fall to the ground and rot, so that it can be used for another crop that surely will follow, unless the tree or bush itself be destroyed. Then the whole process of birth, growth and fruition follows the full circle again. "Nothing is ever lost."

We sense that some of you are having difficulty in accepting the fact that Good and Evil does not exist in the earth plane. How can this be so when you look around and see all the injustices that are happening to innocent people? This is a valid question. We will attempt to answer this question so that you can better understand what is really going on outside of yourselves concerning what you think you are seeing. We would like also to try to explain what it is you feel inside that contributes to the external play you are observing. First we mentioned earlier in the lesson that all you see as Good or Evil is your own creation. Understand first that when the word YOUR is used, we are referring to the herd. You were or you still are part of that herd, therefore it is Your creation, and some of you gave it more power and energy than others. How much power is of no importance; the thing you need to discover is that you did in deed, create and feed what ever you feel is Good or Evil. You may not have created it in this incarnation, however you, did as we did have a finger in its creation. During the process of our own realization as to who we are, we began to place the label Good on all things that pleased us, and another label on those things that we perceive as Evil. This is not a matter of right or wrong. It is a most natural order of growth back into what and who you truly are. A man by the name of Paul that many of you look up to said" Now you see things as if in a mirror, but there will come a day that you will see things as they truly are." Another teacher said, "Before you try to take out the speck from your brother's eye, remove the stick from your own eye. Then you will be able to see clearly in order to help your brother." One last statement on this subject, the soul would not be able to grow if it did not have the ability to recognize the two sides of its creation, what some call Good and Evil. You will come to learn that they are both different aspects of what you call God. There is NO PLACE THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST.

We would like to touch on the subject of what it is that's going on inside of you as you look out over humanity and make your judgments. First thing you may think is that how can anyone look at what's happening and not judge? Very true, this would be a correct assumption. However we would ask that you use reason in the fact that what you see is not always what you feel, and what you feel is not necessarily what you see. Let us try to give you an example. You are watching a play, and for simplicities' sake lets call this play a drama. In this drama there are different people playing different parts, each part being different but each contributing to the whole. If all your concentration is on that one player and that one part, how would you feel regarding the complete play? Would you or could you feel what the play is all about? On the other hand if you watch the same play and were putting all your attention on the kind of feelings the play was bringing out from you while not giving any attention to what person was playing what part, then we ask you to share your feelings regarding the play. Would not your feeling better express what it was about the play that affected you the most, and would you be able to share what each player's part was and how each part affected your feelings.

What has this to do with Good and Evil? How will the above help me better understand my feeling regarding Good and Evil? The following is for your acceptance or rejection. It is your choice and yours alone. When you look out at something that you consider Evil, could it be YOUR SOUL that recognizes what's going on in the play and feels that it could have been done differently? Is it the SOUL that feels what is happening is not what you see, but that it is it's creation, for which there is remorse for not doing it differently. Now think, please think. When your soul sees something and has remorse for the way it is being done, then, the only way your feelings can express themselfs is by orally saying, "That is wrong, that is an Evil thing going on." The very fact that your Soul sees it's creation and you voice your feeling about that act, you are destroying your creation and replacing it with one that will advance the Soul to a greater height. Once you are able to recognize your creation as a stumbling block in your growth, your condemning of that act rids you of that karmic creation. However, if you continue to call something over and over, in other words call it Evil every time you see that act being replayed by different actors, you are keeping that very act, or your creation alive. Once you see something as being Evil, let it go and never judge that act again. If you do judge that act look also for the good, for the soul would not be able to grow if it did not have the ability to recognize the two sides of its creation, what some call Good and Evil. You will come to learn that they are both different aspects of what you call God. There is NO PLACE THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST. Again it is not your creation but belongs to another. Why do you think all the great masters refused to judge others? The reason is they got rid of their garbage and had no intention of taking on someone else's garbage. We trust this is clear to you.

The next question must be, does this apply also to what I see as Good? No, there is no connection between the two, they are only opposites. An Evil is an experience that our soul perceives as a stumbling block to our growth, and the Good we see is an experience our soul perceives as an enhancement to our growth.

We would like to take this one step further. It is necessary for the soul to experience so called Evil; for out of Evil can only come Good. When your soul is ready to advance to another plane of consciousness it may very well need to experience a so called Evil experience in order to advance. The herd has been dragging their feet for this reason. They see only something Evil or Bad happening not knowing that from this the end result is Good. A very difficult concept. Now then, another question. Can so called Evil come out of something Good? Yes, Evil can come out of Good if that is what a soul needs in order to advance to a higher plane. Does that make Good, Evil? No, Evil can never come out of Good as all that exist in the cosmos is Good.

You were given a statement as follows. RELAX IN THE REALIZATION THAT ALL THAT EXISTS IN THE UNIVERSE IS GOD, APPEARING ON EARTH AS YOU AND ME. We would like to add this to help you better understand. RELAX IN THE REALIZATION THAT, ALL THAT EXISTS IN THE COSMOS IS GOOD, APPEARING ON EARTH AS GOOD AND EVIL

Your bible tells you that if Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit they would know good and bad, right and wrong, and by attaining this knowledge they would surely die. It was not the knowledge that would cause them to die. It was the misuse of that knowledge or the judging of others that would cause them to die. Remember, the so called serpent told Eve that God lied, and that God knew if they ate of the apple they would become like him and to be able to distinguish Good from Evil. The problem was they became conscious and by doing so exposed themselves to all experiences. Before eating the forbidden fruit they were without soul and without consciousness. The fruit was forbidden before Eve entered the picture. It was Adam who was told not to eat of the tree of knowledge. Think about this.

God Bless You,
The Brotherhood
