What is Evil ?

This video is all about good and evil, and whether or not they actually exist as an observable aspect of reality. It also delves into the topic of the archetypal story of ' good vs evil ' and why that story is so popular and what it means for us in terms of integration and wholeness.

Also, the video defines what evil actually is, and how to both integrate it and detach from it at the same time. That way the destructive evil drive doesn't influence our actions without our awareness.

You're wise beyond your years. Fascinating person❤

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Excellent! One of the best expositions on the question of good and evil that I ever heard. And you made it personal and practical.

The consequences of our actions are infinite in scope, and don't all fall neatly into one of the two categories (beneficial vs. detrimental). This thought helps me to rationalize those impulses and actions that are evil by my own standards, and thus integrate them. It also helps me to feel less guilty for things I've done in the past.

I realize that while I do control my actions, I don't control the consequences. That means my ability to do good (or evil) in the world is actually somewhat limited, and in the long run may be non-existent. People often claim that some tragedy changed their life for the better, or that some apparent blessing was their downfall. This realization led me to look for better ways to define Good and Evil apart from my own subjective judgement.

The important thing to realize is that, just as one can do evil while intending to do good, one can also do good while intending to do evil. Bringing conscious awareness to the latter, one can potentially choose to "do the right thing" even in the face of universal scorn and contempt. This isn't just the other side of the coin--rationalizing a destructive impulse for vengeance. It's a higher level of awareness that potentially multiplies one's capacity to be a force for Good.

You are very wise and inspiring, I've heard Eckhart Tolle talk about the notion of evil in much the same way, but not as eloquently and succinctly as this. Great video, I will be watching a lot more of your vids! :)

This could not have come at a better time for me. I am so strangely happy you uploaded this. Not sure how well I sit with **everything** you said, but there's a strange amount of relief and hope here that I don't know how to express except to write this and just say "...thank you. You're pretty amazing". ;) <3

Great to have you back. This is a very important topic.

[ItsJuleen]

Wow. Powerful articulations. Thanks Emerald!

[TheMarshallMalone]

Great video. I've always had awareness of my evil drive, which I associated with my ego. Self destructive, fueled by fear.

[Angell_Lee]

Thank you as always love xo, I watch one of your video every day, so interesting :)

[carlosmorthera]

Neat & objective explanation, for the world´s core, historical issue! Salut. CM.

It seems to me that my "evil drives" have good reasons to be - even though they are simply not well adjusted. If I went for revenge - or when I fantasize to get revenge - there is the need to defend myself. I want revenge because I want my power back, after having felt powerless. Or I don't know any other way to communicate, when my feelings are not acknowledged. So the best I can do is try to find more refined ways to assert my boundaries and express my feelings. I don't think I have evil drives for the sake of it. There are just real feelings that don't find the way and end up with nothing but a kind of "terrorism" to get voiced... Thanks for your videos..

I’ve grown through my psychic confluence with satisfaction, to understand the stories of the frog and the scorpion or the tortoise and the hare, my persona as an empath has revealed that mutual benevolence results from the integral work with the animus. Shortening this synopsis, to a conclusion with the race between a quick minded hare and the persistence of a turtle, the idea, that the turtle stuck out it’s neck just enough to win yields to a conclusion, that overconfidence for the rabbit was a bad hare day! Thank you Emerald.

Great video, brave topic to take on, sorely needed. People will misinterpret it based on their perception filters, inevitable in spite of the clarity of the video, the video sows seeds of insight regardless. Our wounds, misunderstandings, cravings and avoidances all cause us to harbor and identify with and subconsciously act on destructive drives Individually they can all be healed, but this video describes well the practical challenge they collectively leave us with. Thank you, rising above the battles of duality somewhat is challenging anď necessary and you describe it well. There is so much more that can be said after people fully get this part, judging by the comments most of us struggle with that. E.g. to truly accept and respect we need to understand free will and the descent into duality and cosmology better, otherwise it is hard for us to question the projections as to the nature of reality our negative parts flood us with.

Loved your video and the Pac-Man example! :)

You might have changed my mind or at least made me think now that I and everyone else entered this dimension randomly. I have thought we chose our existence or role as an experience to make us grow or learn something.

[NickRyanBayon]

Personally I consciously choose evil and align with evil, and I agree with you that we do feel that the good drive that is bad and such, good point. This was an interesting video thank you.

Pure evil does exist among humans, but it is a very specific type of human that I believe can be classified as truly evil. I have encountered many of these people during my life, and in fact, they are all members of my family. I can pretty easily detect when someone on the internet is evil, after I’ve observed them for a relatively short period of time. The most common word used to classify these people is “psychopath”.
