I've been looking at the governments of the world and seeing that most of them have much to be desired on the humanitarian front, and almost all of them are into truth control and lies and obfuscation. When you look at their public relations front they look like ordinary normal people, but when you look at what they do then you begin to see that perhaps there is something rotten inside of them...

The dictionary definition of evil is profound immorality, and depravity, especially when regarded as a supernatural force.
There are some that say evil is great, but I say that there are only people doing evil things and mostly from behind closed doors and that when brought into the light will shrivel up and blow away.
From what I can see without diving into the arcane is that evil is a human invention perpetuated by ones unfettered by normal restraints such as compassion, empathy and etc.
Evil ones have little or no regard for humanity, for the suffering of others and find it easy to cause hurt as an experiment to find out how much a person can stand before they give up and expire, as the Nazi doctor’s did in the death camps of the second world war, and many other documented evidence of atrocities committed right up to the present day.
Evil ones seem to be drawn towards corruption of power such as the government where corruption and lies are the norm, where they can do the most harm and be safe from prosecution behind the closed doors of the system that hides and uses them with excuses such as national security, but often with no excuse at all to cause fear, uncertainty and doubt in the very fabric of society and social norms that govern people’s lives.

The answer to this is to stand on one’s own feet and be true to the self, the self that is found in the heart that can’t be corrupted but only denied.
So if the evil ones have a heart then why do they do evil? It can only be from denial of their true nature and wrong thinking that becomes perverted by their beliefs and compounded by uncontrolled emotions such as lust, greed, anger, ego, fear and attachment.
This is of course a generality of the state of evil, for to really define evil at its root would be a study I don’t want to delve into more than this, but it does seem to be a part of us all that we deny at our peril.
When you get right down to it, evil is a choice from the dark side of our nature, it is in us all, but do we feed it, or do we understand it and then choose something that is better for us that will uplift us and enable joy, love and peace to be the norm?
We have reached a point in our evolution that we can now choose individually and collectively to climb out of the mud and rise above deep seated fear and our emotional insecurity that may have been with us since the time of the cave man.
Can evil be defeated?
On one level it can be overcome, such as an evil dictator’s army being vanquished; but evil has many forms and if allowed to flourish will gather strength until it is so big it will take a lot of energy to restore sanity and balance, such as will have to happen with the world’s governments that are trapped in a cycle of greed that perpetuates itself by its own power where even good people are put to its uses.
Lust is powerful and we’ve all been led at least once to taste its fruit. A true test of one’s integrity is to see it for what it is and choose not to give in to that imperative for evil lies behind its desiring face and once partaken of lowers the vibration and much time will be lost to become clean again.
Ego and attachment can be seen in those who brag of their accomplishments and titles, and without overly stating the obvious the respect of good people by diligent application through the virtue of humility their deeds is of lasting worth on a heart level, so much so that it can be shared without fear that one day it might come back to bite you.
Fear is a dirty dog that comes to scare you into actions mostly contrary to good sense. It sets you apart from your peace and much harm can come from acting on it.

Fear allows evil to gain ascendancy and spoils good judgement and can be likened to a worm that eats you up from inside until it becomes so huge all hope is lost and what once might have been easy to overcome now will seem insurmountable.
When the door of fear is opened, evil has a way in, so if fear comes then vigilance is a must to notice the shadow of evil when it comes.
Evil rarely comes in the form of a frontal assault, it comes in the Trojan horse of our weakness and once entered in it is pervasive and won’t go away on its own but has to be driven out by the use of the pillars of wisdom.
