What Gives Evil Its Power?

Our ignorance.

When we ignore evil intent to control, it is we who become the enablers. Evil counts on ignorance to maintain confusion by impregnating the populace with ideas. Evil is anything that causes harm and restricts our freedom to be what we naturally are.

It’s an abusive relationship of ‘gaslighting’. This psychological manipulation causing people to doubt their capability or their sense of reality.

We fear using the word ‘evil’ because we think, “Well, it’s not that bad.” That, in itself, is a sign of resignation – the acceptance of something undesirable, but inevitable. 

It is not inevitable. There are levels or yanas of understanding, and as we ascend by transcending ideas, we see that what we left behind was restrictions and limitations in the guise of goodness. Transcending is a matter of dropping the levels of ignorance, and realising the reality beyond words.

Realisation isn’t for the woolly minded.
Enlightenment isn’t for the woolly minded.
Compassion isn’t for the woolly minded.
