Dear Gnostic,
The problem with the word ‘evil’ is that it causes men to move without thinking: Hitler said the Jews
were ‘evil’; the Romans believed that Christ was ‘evil’. The Doctors in Salem, Mass. convinced the
townspeople that the mid-wives were ‘evil’.
So tell us please WHAT is evil. Please don’t give us examples of what you think evil looks like. That is
subjective. Tell us EXACTLY what the definition of EVIL is. Let me explain here: If I say ‘chair’, we may all think of a different kind of chair, but we all know that a chair is something you sit on. Then the definition of chair is ‘something that can be used to sit on’. The same is true of all REAL nouns. They describe something REAL.
So show me an ‘evil’ then. Explain to me evil in a way that I can agree that we speak of the same thing. And by the way, AS YOU SOW; SO SHALL YOU REAP is exactly the same thing as: “You get what you Look for.” Exactly.

Dear E, You have posed these questions to Gnostic not to me and I await his answers with interest to understand his perspective. As he may be away on the road for some time, perhaps I can explain some aspects of Gnosticism myself.
You have used some emotive examples above to make your points! Some of them rely on you aligning yourself to published data written by one side of the divide, and the further back you go in time, the more suspect written data becomes. Vested interests write the accounts of all we read and they devise religions.
The totality of Creation is of Herculean proportions beyond the scope of our human mind to comprehend. In its original form it was life in the form of spirit, free to experiment and develop. An individual is part of a greater whole, and there exists an infinite path of ascension in level of spirit, and as this occurred, the whole was enriched and benefited.
Parts of this collective consciousness held responsibility for assigned sections of creation, and served as its organiser and mentor. One of these members of the collective declared its intent to go away on its own, and in the process take those souls of the True Creation along with it, and in effect hijacks them. The only source of energy to continue existence for this entity was from those True Beings it abducted. At first, the Supreme consciousness tried again and again to persuade this turncoat to return from whence it came, but it refused. This being is called Jehovah in this final incarnation that is the jealous god of the Old Testament. Energy was drained from True Beings, solidified and used to produce planets and bodies forming a false creation. The only Divine part of all this was the hapless detainees who where imposed into Human bodies. All matter has consciousness at differing levels.
The Ultimate Creator poured down energy to this false creation… yes, that which humans perceive as 'beautiful'. Why, because in this dense and 3D creation, most have lost their ability to remember how wonderful existence used to be! We incarnate over and over but cannot recall our past experiences from which we learn anything at all. Much as The Divine Consciousness gave True Energy to trapped True Beings, the Evil one seized it and abused it. Eventually, the Divine used A new ploy.
A part of the high hierarchy of the Divine has incarnated here on earth into a human body with the task of spreading to True Beings a message of hope of forthcoming rescue, and what they had to do in the meantime. These beings include those and more I listed in my post on The Matrix. This message spoke of furious correction for what the demigod had built which entails destruction of all in the physical. NO resurrection of the body! The demigod built it with a short life expectancy of 70 years to hold True Consciousness. Disease and all forms of human tragedy serve to release energy from that person as it lives its life on this planet. The process repeats over and over. All in the physical is an evil creation. The cult of body beautiful is a false illusion, for what is inside it from the True Creation is the only part that is of value! Not all have this, indeed few do. That is why all forms of evil behaviour are becoming so obvious to everyone with eyes to see.
Dear Esclarmonde, you may be delightful to see in the flesh, but that part of you is valueless in the global sense of all there is. Your Higher Consciousness could on the other hand be worth more than any property and possessions you temporally hold here on this orb. How many fools have sold out their true Divine Birthright to chase money and power? All they have and hold is a bauble that is coveted by those who would steal it from you. It will rot and rust away, but your Divine Higher Consciousness if intact, is your passage back to where you originally came from… spirit. That is immortal and priceless.
You are challenging Gnostic in terms of English semantics. It is irrelevant. By now you have some basic idea of what is involved. Feel it! I work with a lot of very highly qualified people with more university parchment than is needed to build a fire, and that is about what it is worth. Most of them are spiritually dead; indeed, the best example I know has three degrees and the discernment of an amoeba. A Gnostic feels and works from within. Spirit can be reached without arguing with others or justifying their feelings. No priest is needed to broker deals! Language in any form is an inadequate medium to explain how one feels. Each person must decide where he or she stands unaided by the opinions of their contacts. You cannot be converted to Gnostic life in Spirit; you have to feel it and live it, for it is in you from the start.
To the Divine Light of consciousness, everything that is not from its creation is evil. Evil is real. The Divine is real! A bipolar divide. P.
