As I sat on my front step this morning at 6am I was marveled
about the thought of good and evil. The symbol of the yin and yang has always
bothered me, I have seen many cultures that have used it and described it in
their own way, Taoism talks about how it represents the flow of energy, Confucianism
talks about how it would be the representation of male and female. Others talk
about how it is the representation of good and evil, that in all good there is
some evil, and in all evil there is some good. They try and validate this with
examples like, “Oh if we have to sacrifice these few lives to save all these
other lives”. Or this one that always scared me when people used it in terms of
acts of evil that when genocide was caused that they reduced the need on
resources so more can survive on what is available.
For generations people have tried to use this term and their
actions for validation on why they did something, and when presented with the
question of why, they always tried to show how it still did good or just saying
they were misled. The thing is people want to make the argument that people
that are evil don’t know they are evil, this is bullshit, yes they do, when
they look at the rest of the world and see that they are the ones making others
suffer they know exactly what they are going and that they are evil. People want
to give into the temptation of power and they have to stop, they know what they
are, never believe otherwise. This makes me sick because it is always when they
are confronted with someone trying to punish them that they become good because
they don’t want to go to jail or something, just admit what you did and accept
the punishment, own up to what you did and be honest. The thing is though I
know humans are very messed up in their purity or more the corruptions of their
emotions, I have seen people that are supposedly very religious commit the most
horrific acts against people and animals. As well as people that have nothing
give away a meal to someone else even though they are already starving. These
acts are generally pure and they think they are at the time they do it and we
think they are good or evil, but really it is not, sacrificing yourself is still
and evil, sharing your meal is better, giving it away is evil because you are
hurting yourself when you need it as much as someone else, the thought about
the act might be pure but the itself is not pure.
See humans have been corrupted in their emotions, they don’t
even know what is really good and bad anymore, partially because those definitions
are human ones. Acts are acts; I have learned this because I have in me the ultimate
good and the ultimate evil for lack of a better word. I know I do and as a kid
the evil came out, now the difference here is that when I say evil I am not
meaning hurting animals or things like that, more that I would fight and had
anger in me that I let get expressed in the wrong way. Now I have learned to
live in balance both with that I have done, am currently doing and that both
parts of me exists in a form of harmony, now it is not as easy as that however
though. I can never fully walk a balanced life as that means I would have to express
both sides completely; however it is like having a glass and 2 pitchers of
liquid. What I am doing right now is pouring equal parts of each into that
glass and they exist in a harmony but there are still those 2 pitchers that are
almost full that I am ignoring. Walking a true balanced life for me is not
possible here. For humans they are not like I am, well there is one other like
me, and that’s ma Belle, there might also be a couple others that are like us
too but they are not quite like she and I.
You see life is a flow, all life is connected, and when life
is created it comes from all around us. A Soul is made up by the energy around
us, the sun feeds plants, the earth gives them nutrients, animals eat the
plants and others eat those animals. The energy in them gets transferred to
build new life. When life dies it returns to the earth to feed new life. All life
also looses and gains part of their soul all day long, you breath in and out
gaining and losing some of it, same with going to the bathroom, and then
eating, you also loose hair and skin etc… All the time you are gaining and
losing part of your soul because it is what you are, the energy that makes up all
things. Now there are a few like me and ma Belle that this is not the case, we
have a set core that does not change, we do still gain and loose some as it is
like putting a steel ball in a pail of water, the water itself like for
everyone else comes and goes but that one part remains. Life gets changed by
our views of it, we see cows as animals and food and Cats as companions, but
there is more to it. Their soul can change who and what they are. I am sure you
have sensed darkness in a few animals as well as humans; this is part because of
what they have done and what the energy that they have taken in has done to
them. In the Fetus stage there is a special influx of energy that does greatly
influence a beings soul and actions, however they can change if they wish it
comes down to choices and the strength of will of the being. Each bit of energy
keeps a slight imprint of everything that happens to it, so there is energy
around that is from the time of the Egyptians for example and much longer, this
is why all life is connected.
Life tries to live in balance and while people want to put
names on things and define things, you have to look at the world in a more
simple way. A name does not give you power over anything, feel what is around
you, fallow your heart as it can sense things your mind won’t let you, and sometimes
it asks hard things of us, but everyone has to learn to trust it. I have had so
many strange dreams of late, some,,,, well I am not going to say what those are
here or to anyone I think, others show me control, they show me my hope and my
wife, I know who it is, but I am not allowed to have her, to kiss her and share
everything with her and it hurts. I am fighting for her, I am trying to show
her I am the one for her and I will always take care of her, love her, be her
equal and partner in all things and that I am the one for her always and
forever. I have lived through so much and I learned that sometimes there are
things to let go of, that sometimes I have had to make hard choices and people
do get hurt, but through all that I learned that there are things worth
fighting for. I ran away and I pulled all this around to me so
I could understand something I did so long ago. I was searching for my forgiveness
and how to not make the same mistakes and I finally have. What I never expected
was that she would come looking for me. Unfortunately taking on human forms
made us in part human and we let stupid human rules and foolishness get in the
way, well I did. But I have learned, learned how to be me, how to be better,
make the hard choices, how to be kind and loving, how to stand back and give
credit, what pain is, how to fallow my heart and what true love is.
I am now ready and my dreams have been showing me that, they
are showing me how to control what I have in me, the mind set on how to use it
and the love for it I need.
