Discussion of spiritual practices: awakening, meditation, and the freedom that cannot be lost or found. All perspectives are welcome; advaita, christian, buddhist, islam or even no perspective at all. Just pointing to that which is nearest and dearest.

the idea of more

In the King James version of the Bible the word evil is mentioned 442 times (by my count). What is all this 'evil' business?

If you read the 442 passages, beginning with the Adam and Eve story, I bet you will conclude that evil is simply the idea of more.

Is it not our resistance to what life presents that causes us to twist and turn? Always wanting things to be more or different than they are: more money, better relationships, more success, more, more, more.

During meditation we allow things be as they are (they are that way anyway). When we accept that life could only be what it is in this present moment, resistance drops away, we lose self definition and the idea of evil cannot be found.

oh my,
