Evil and the Diabolical
Evil: Wickedness, moral depravity, sin;
whatever is censurable, painful, malicious, or disastrous; the evil part or element of anything. 2 A wrongdoing, a
crime, a sin. 3 the evil people. 4 A disaster, a misfortune. 5 A disease, a sickness Oxford Dictionary
Peter: In ‘normal’ society we are socially trained to be
good and have good feelings. As a back-up when the ‘good’ fails we have laws, lawyers, psychiatrists, police, fines, jails,
armies, etc. to stop the ‘bad’ feelings from running amok. The spiritual solution is to pump up the good feelings to become
divine feelings resulting in feelings of superiority, grandness, oneness and wholeness which, if practiced assiduously, leads to
the feeling that one is indeed Divineness Itself.
Rajneesh says ‘Unconsciousness is evil and
consciousness is Divine’ which is nothing other than the Eastern version of Western morality of good and bad. Good
and bad (or conscious and unconscious) is as pathetic a division of instinctual passions as is right and wrong a pathetic division
of social values. Human beings actually fight horrendous wars over these divisions. The initial stage of
Actual Freedom involves investigating these socially and spiritually implanted morals and ethics in order to discover what
lays beneath – the genetically implanted instinctual passions of fear, aggression, nurture and desire.
Of course, there is no Divine or Diabolical, bliss or
despair, malice or sorrow or any of the instinctual passions in the actual world. All these feelings and beliefs, ideas and
fantasies exist only because they are the psychological and psychic machinations of a wayward identity within the flesh and blood
body. These feelings may well be real, and are felt to be so because of the chemicals that surge through the human body from the
reptilian brain … but they are not actual, as in existing in the physical world.
