P. 24

If then there is no evil, what is it that we experience and call
               evil? Perhaps I can answer this by referring you back to what I
               have already said and draw your attention to my saying that
               Spiritually  there  is  no  evil.  You  will  have  heard  of  evil
               “spirits”.  There  are  no  evil  Spirits.  You  will  have  heard  of
               “fallen angels”. There are no fallen angels. Look around you
               in  your  world.  What  evil  can  you  see?  You  will  only  see
               actions  of  human  kind  that  can  be  described  as  “evil”.
               Sometimes you will see actions of other animals that could be
               similarly described but only when looked at in human terms.
               In other animal terms these actions are natural for that animal.
               In all of the created world there is an interdependency, each
               relying on the other in some way. When that interdependency
               becomes a dependency trouble occurs. This trouble is caused
               by  the  expectations  of  the  dependent.  When  these
               expectations  are  not  met  then  there  is  trouble.  Dependency
               becomes  demand.  It  is  no  individual’s  responsibility  to  live
               their lives by the expectations of others. Each individual has
               but one life to lead and that is their own life. No one can draw
               any  benefit  by  living  for  another,  only  by  living  for
               themselves. When living for oneself we can then be part of the
               cycle  of  interdependency  that  is  as  created.  Evil  is  the
               imposition  on  another,  control  or  implementation  of
               expectations  that  are  not  to  the  good  of  another.  This
               imposition can be force of any kind, mental or physical but
               never  spiritual.  Evil  is  only  ever  the  action  of  humankind,
               never Spirit.
