"You must accept evil as a condition of physical life. It is something you must contend with. Its many influences and seductions are something you must become aware of and deal with objectively and with sobriety. "

  • Relationships & Higher Purpose, chap. 8, p. 64

Short Quotes

"In the world there exist opposing forces. It would be a great mistake to think that these forces do not exist."

  • Relationships & Higher Purpose, chap. 8, p. 63

  • Relationships & Higher Purpose, chap. 8, p. 65

Long Quotes

"It would not be accurate to say that there is a war between God and the forces against God. This is not the case at all. The physical universe is simply a place where God has been denied. The cumulative effect of this denial is what could be called evil. Evil is not born of one individual who generates all evil. Evil is born of the desire for separation and disassociation based upon fear, hostility and guilt."

  • Relationships & Higher Purpose, chap. 8, p. 64

"It is painful to be separated from that which you love beyond all things, and the only way to maintain this separation is to malign that which you love, to give it an evil intent and then to engender guilt within yourself. To feel and accept the power of God, evil and guilt must leave you. You must venture forth to explore that which is most natural. It is like breaking new ground and coming home all at once."

"There are Forces of Dissonance in the world. They oppose the unity of life. They oppose the evolution of life. They oppose the work of Knowledge. They oppose the reclamation of Knowledge. These forces are generated from both within the world and beyond the world. These forces are evil in the sense that they oppose the unity and evolution of life. They are disruptive. They seek to separate what must be joined, and they seek to join what must be separated. Therefore, it is accurate to say that there is evil in the world."

  • Relationships & Higher Purpose, chap. 8, p. 63

Misunderstandings about Evil

"Some people believe that evil is simply something within themselves that they can correct. This is not true. With Knowledge, you can correct your own predisposition to follow the Forces of Dissonance, but you cannot correct the dissonance itself."

  • Relationships & Higher Purpose, chap. 8, p. 65

"Evil originates from beyond the world. This is because you live in the Greater Community of worlds. This is so obvious. However, it is difficult for most people to see because they think their world is the only place that exists."

  • Relationships & Higher Purpose, chap. 8, p. 66
