If you believe that good exists you must also accept that evil has its place in the world as well. You might see things in the world that are of obvious evil, such as killings, mass destruction, disorder, and ultimate chaos. But there are also evils that lurk in your every day life that can hide themselves from your direct awareness. This is the evil of the individual.

There is a fine line that separates us from one or the other. Good is out of pure virtue. Evil is out of pure vindication. Good feeds off of love and content. Evil feeds of misery and disception. Evil also feeds off of one’s doubt. This could be the doubt present in yourself or it could be the doubt present in your situation. When doubt exists within a person, they lose contact with who they are. They lose sight of their goals, inhibitions, and sometimes even morals.

Part of what keeps people removed from spirituality at times is that in order to accept the good that comes from a conscious spiritual lifestyle, we also have to accept that the opposite exists in the same realm. Just as there are opposing forces here on earth, there also exists the conflict of the heavens. This is the battle between good and evil.

There are actually forces of light and forces of darkness both fighting to overcome the other. These instances occur on both a large and small scale. They occur between people and they occur between nations. The division and the distinction between the two can be challenging to decipher as both can appear during darkness.
