CHINA - EVIL - What is the distinction between recognizing something evil and judging it?
...portions from the book "Soul to Soul" by Gary Zukav - I find these few words very helpful in controlling my emotions as I think of you, the Tibetan people...and your suffering! I hope it helps anyone reading this...because it is indeed very difficult to control the anger after seeing the cruelty, the brutality of the Chinese regime :-(
What is the distinction between recognizing something evil and judging it?
Evil is an absence. It is not a presence. Evil is the absence of Love - uncontaminated conscious Light. The remedy for an absence is a presence, not an action. You cannot imprison, deport, or kill evil. Not even a great army can defeat evil. It can only defeat another army.
Where there is an absence of Love there is fear, judgement, and violence - SOUNDS FAMILIAR AS WE THINK OF CHINA???
If you fear and judge the darkness, you step into the darkness. Evil is the darkness. You cannot fight evil without joining it. You cannot judge it without joining it. You can recognize it without joining it. The difference between judgement of evil and recognition of evil is your emotional reaction. LET US REMEMBER THIS!!!! If you are repulsed and frightened, you are judging what you encounter. ...
When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging. That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself- with yourself - not with the other person. If you react self-righteously to evil, look inside yourself for the very thing that so agitates you, and you will find it. If it were not there, you would simply discern, act appropriately, and move on. When you have an emotional reaction to evil, - the absence of Love - that absence is in you.
Understanding this is very important because it enables you to personally contribute to the reduction of evil. You do that by changing yourself into the loving person that you would like others to be. Until you do, you will be a part of the evil that so repulses you...we have to remember this as we fight for a free TIBET! OM Mani Padme Hum....I pray this can help a little bit ...
