We live in a world of right and wrong, good and evil. It seems we are trapped in it. In each situation there is the right way, the wrong way and the grey middle ground. All disagreements, wars, corruption and brokenness is born out of this system of right and wrong. It brings gross separation between us because we divide ourselves and the world around us up in little pieces of right and wrong.
What if there is something beyond good and evil? A place where I don’t have to separate myself from you because of my judgement of right and wrong?
I can still see the difference between the two, but I am not defined by either of those and neither does it have to be the highest governing rule of my life.
Adam and eve lived outside of the knowledge of good and evil. They knew neither. They found themselves in a “spiritual” state where those concepts had no rime or reason - They were in paradise…
As soon as they desired and got hold of the knowledge of good and evil, they fell. To fall means that you were obviously at a higher state previously. So adam and eve were at a higher state by not knowing good and evil. Now they made this the basis of their lives, their thinking, their judging of themselves and the world around them.
Out of this sin was born. Sin which is the basis of all suffering, corruption and death in all forms. It seems that humanity is trying to solve it’s problems by separating good from evil. It is trying to fix the evil in the world and in itself by separating the evil from the good - thinking that it’s the way to get back to paradise.
The problem is of course that the very framework that it uses to get back to paradise is the precisely the governing problem.
Enter the spiritual world.
