Hi Et-man, I think our creator looks down on us and is full of joy when he sees the diversity of our ideas and beliefs, even the little disagreements, because he created us to create.
The Prodigal Son
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
However, there is something that is causing me to be angst ridden at the moment, recently im seeing more and more examples of evil and extreme goodness, and im starting to think that ultimatetly what is the truth is, that one cannot exist without the other,
example, i saw a tv programme where a millionaire gave away a substantial part of his fortune to help the homeless, and thought if these homeless hadnt existed, if theyd not been made homeless by an unfair and uncaring society, this guy could have done the good that he did.
Does this mean that evil will always exist?
do we need it for our survival and progression,
im hoping your going to say no, because i cant take much more of it. thanks

Thankyou for your reply to my question, i think you must be a heck of busy man. So ultimately evil will always exist as a CHOICE on this planet, so as species were up s**t creek without a paddle then. Because i dont see enough people changing theyre ways or becoming more spiritually evolved or even just dipping theyre toes in it, whats actually going to happen next year thats going to change everything?, give me some hope please because i hate the way this world is. (I find it hard to believe i chose to actually be reborn here, must have been have a blonde day that day, only joking no offence blondes.)

If everyone on the planet stood firm, we could transform it, i have no doubt on this, so why are we falling so short? What is the evil that pervades us, what causes us to turn the other cheek when we see children starving? what causes us to wage war on our brothers in other countries? if God gave us good and evil as choices why have chosen evil to be the prevailing force, is there such a thing as satan? ( i dont think so) . Are there evil forces ruling the planet ie illuminati, if so why has our creator put us in a position were we cant win against this force, Im sorry im early in my journey and have so many questions.

Is everything in the universe a 'ONE' consciousness mind?
Does that include every single thing such as dirt, rocks, iron, copper and other such materials found on earth?
Are they part of us?
When do they lose their spirit? When we manufacturer a coke can? When we use the material to pave a concrete road? Some have suggested that technology being man-made has no spirit but that dirt, rocks, iron, copper and other such materials do. If this is the case then what are man-made objects made out of?
Everything is still just energy is it not?
Isn't everything in the entire universe made out of energy even a table, chair, automobile, concrete road, dirt, copper, rocks, computers, TV's and so on? Are they not all made up of the same stuff or Energy=Matter? OR did the materials lose their spirit upon humans manufacturing/altering them into coke cans, water bottles, t-shirts and so on?
Is Energy the only thing we are made out of?
Or do we also have a spirit? If we do have a spirit where is the spirit located at?
Is the spirit separate from the energy/matter or is it ONE with all things and all energy/matter is ONE with the spirit?
Or is everything truly just ONE and that means all energy even the technology that humans create?
If the Universe is a ONE mind 'consciousness' and the technology that humans create is separate from it then doesn't that cause division and separation?
Is there also a body for this one brain mind outside of it's brain similar to the human body that we have?
If so then could that one brain mind exist within a humanoid type being's body on another planet out there somewhere like we are? If that is the case then would that mean that this humanoid type being out there that we exist in exists yet again within another one mind universe also being part of another humanoid type being's body on yet another planet?
Is this kind of where we get the fractal within another fractal analogy for Infinity idea?
If this is the case then does that mean that this same pattern goes on Infinitely forever? Or is this ONE mind/consciousness without a body being only an infinite never-ending one 'mind consciousness brain'?
If this is the case, that there is no BODY to this one 'mind consciousness brain' then how do our brains resemble this universe since our brains have a body as well with a head, arms, hands, legs, feet and so on?
If we evolved from the earth itself and I'll use darwin's evolution theory (For the arguments sake) when there was only grass and other such life still in the process of evolution than how come the universe resembles the human brain somewhat in likeness and/or function?
Why doesn't it resemble something else from the past?
Would this implicate that the universe being a 'one consciousness brain' also may have a body outside of it's brain like we do in the same image as humans existing on another planet as previously suggested?
