Good and Evil

Original class description: A discussion and teaching about polarities, dualities, ethics, and morals. Where they come from and how to discern the difference between projections and accepting what actually is. Explanation of true creativity and opportunity for creativity.

Summary: The text explores the nature of good and evil as human constructs rooted in polarity, intent, and perspective. What people call “good” often aligns with personal benefit, while “evil” is linked to perceived harm. True evil, the author suggests, lies not in inherent qualities but in actions that suppress creativity, free will, or potential. Humans embody duality—both social herd instinct and solitary predatory instinct—making them capable of both kindness and cruelty. Morals, imposed externally, often block creativity, while ethics, chosen internally, enable it. The work emphasizes that even destructive figures or events serve as catalysts for new creation, since the universe naturally opposes what stifles growth. Evil is thus seen less as absolute malice and more as blockage of possibility. Ultimately, creativity, intent, and ethical participation define meaningful action, while projecting blame or suppressing one’s own potential fosters stagnation and “living death.”
