Knowing Good And Evil Frees Us
Not knowing, we live in a fool’s paradise,
enslaved by extreme apathy.
Not knowing, we are not bothered.
Do you see the whole picture?
We’ve become clever primates, scratching one another’s backs, and hoping for something in return.
All the while, pure conscious awareness – for that is what we are and not the body – is caught up in an illusion of reality. All phenomena is impermanent, while pure consciousness never changes.
What is good and evil?
Goodness is seeing clearly without likes and dislikes; the moment of pure consciousness.
Evil is quite simply being caught up in those likes and dislikes.
To function as wise beings, we test to see if something is good or bad.
In over-indulging, we become evil as we never have enough.
Homo sapiens: wise being … not monkey, see monkey do.
