Let me start out by saying like everyone on the planet I am a sinner, born with the original sin described in our holy books. I have tried very hard over the past 24-months to find my faith again after having lost my relationship with God and my Catholic faith for almost two decades. Part of the awakening process was the way I saw the world in the past four-years. Part of the awakening I attribute to the Grace of God; my wife who has helped pull me back into the Church, and other very “good” people I have surrounded myself.
I had once believed that it was just a matter of coincidence that bad things happened to me, the people around me and the world in general. After 2021 it became crystal clear that there was a ‘‘force’’ acting on our world/universe that can pull people in a very negative direction. There is also an opposite force that pulls people towards the light in a good direction.
Let us take the case of the bio-medical-industrial-complex and greed. This very rapacious industry is very focused on money, growth of their companies and stock value. That is a given by just looking around at the general disregard for the safety of their products to the human customer. While it is not mutually exclusive to have both financial reward and compassion and ethics in direction, it is very difficult to achieve both in a virtuous manner. You do not have to be awaken to the greater issues at hand to realize this. The roll out of new drugs and vaccines are proof positive that it is done with reckless abandon to human safety and the eye is always on the money. Or so I thought that was the end of the story.
Well how much money do you really need? How much can you grow a company and push the value of its stocks up? There is a limit and the harm done to humanity MUST be attributed to another cause. It is EVIL. I speak of the ancient writings of many religions of the good vs evil but will focus on the Judeo-Christian writings in the Bible texts.
While heaven may not be some lofty place above the clouds and hell a fire and brimstone location in the bowels of the Earth there is certainly a good place and an evil place somewhere in our cosmos and our minds. The dark angles of evil are consuming man, just take a look around. It has happened throughout written history and likely before and is going on now. Be aware and pick the right team.
Good vs Bad: The war for our minds and souls.
