The Value of Evil

From a spiritual point of view, our enemy is our best friend.
Friends tend to agree with the status quo, but enemies want to provoke reaction.

The power of evil is quite mundane, but has the same value as the negative emotions that arise in us – wisdom!

From a spiritual point of view, in the moment of being confronted by aggression, compassion and gratitude arise.

Compassion, because the evil perpetrator is acquiring more bad karma.
Gratitude, because the evil perpetrator is showing us our reactions…“Ah, there is my pride/anger again.”
For a spiritual practitioner, this opportunity is of the greatest value.
For most people, their ‘self’ or ‘ego’ will just retaliate.

Every child is used to be taught by granny, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me.”

Reacting is re-acting: it is habitual patterning.
This does not mean we don’t respond, but by not re-acting, space is created and clarity can come to the mind (our inner guru).

There is a great difference between theory and practice and practice makes perfect 😉

The selfish ideas of The New World Order have awoken many. Reacting to them only pulls us into their web. “What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”….as granny used to say!

The value of evil is that it can have the opposite effect to that intended.
