When I advanced and forced my apotheosis, one clear message or direction of thought was given to me and I pass it on when opportunity strikes.
As an advance soul, I would think that you would have received some such thing as well or been taught some main point to hang your theology or philosophy on.
Mine was only two words but they had a huge impact. I will trade you. You first.
Care to share whatever striking message you would like to give for our enlightenment?

I believe that I can sum up our quest as human beings here on Earth. We are all together here incarnated into fleshly bodies as the manifestation of the Creator, experiencing the Material Universe, each of us an instrument in a grand symphony.
Can you help but do evil?

Well, normally, I don't want to talk about my own spiritual journey too much. Because many folks tend to compare themselves to me, and their ego will start to get emotional if you know what I mean. With that, I can say that I've had many Angels, Masters, and Guides teach me things in out of body experiences since I was a kid. Apparently, I have trained spiritually in my previous lives. So it was already easy for me in this lifetime. They usually show up as an ascended being dressed up in regular human clothes, teaching me these difficult parables and symbols. But as I continued to open my mind to things beyond religion and beyond spiritual concepts on Earth through meditation, prayer, and focus on God in my daily life, the teachings got much more elaborate and complex. The Ascended beings started to show up in their glorious forms. As I mastered my 4 bodies (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Identity) by rejecting the Ego and readjust my Psychology, I was able to traverse higher planes and even dimensions to meet and train at their retreats. My Higher Self (God, Mighty I AM Presence) did appear before me in my higher bodies to teach me as well. This signifies the beginning of my merger with the Mind of God. That process goes on until I merge completely with God one day. My visits to the higher dimensions allowed me to familiarize myself with the environment and develop a deeper understanding of God and who I AM.

Having suffered apotheosis I can relate here. Even being in his mind set I do not speak for God as most think of God as the miracle working super absentee genocidal son murderer. That is why I asked the question.

Can you help but do evil? I do not see how. Do you?
And if you cannot, why would God punish you?
Christians are always trying to absolve God of moral culpability in the fall by putting forward their free will argument and placing all the blame on mankind.
That usually sounds like ----God gave us free will and it was our free willed choices that caused our fall. Hence God is not blameworthy. Such statements simply avoid God's culpability as the author and creator of human nature.

This thread deserves a little bump.
What is the opposite of evil? Good. What is the opposite of good? Bad. Where do you find the line that separates good and bad? Get it?
"The fall from grace" is a widely misinterpreted metaphor. The fall is representative of duality ... basically a separation from oneness. God did not give us free will. We are "made" (another metaphor) in His 'image.' We always had free will, and we chose to fall. Why? Some people 'fall out of airplanes' for the sheer thrill of it.
Enjoy your thoughts on this. -Cheers

Your insight follows the Jewish thinking that prevailed until Christianity reversed the Eden myth from our elevation to our fall. The myth was good for both God and man until Christianity stole it. "Instead of the Fall of man (in the sense of humanity as a whole), Judaism preaches the Rise of man: and instead of Original Sin, it stresses Original Virtue".Jews have always been better thinkers than Christians. Perhaps that is why they are hated by so many Christians.

And just as useful. Quite pathetic to see actually but I guess when one is full of it some will leak out.

I see it has been addressed this question, but will answer twice. I see God as specifically an absentee parent on purpose; as it does not never has pretended to be our 'caretaker'; it is in fact ourselves experiencing itself in the flatlands (or 3rd dimension). It allows for itself to experience EVERYTHING, not just humanity or inhumanity (the murder of its parts). Free will was a given because it would never have hindered itself with a straitjacket of slavery (to itself? essentially). Do you not see what is happening? God is here, its comprised of billions of beings and cannot get along with itself. PERFECT.

...and sometimes I read posts that make me smile because when you unfold the origami it makes sense at any 'scale'...hopefully 'God' is listening VHB, because this is a masterful paragraph!

On the OP...
Can you 'help' inadvertantly stepping on ants while preaching 'thou shalt not kill'?...or, gristling down on prime beef cut from the haunch of once living being?...or, inhaling micro-organisms that will expire in the acid reflux of human?
If that is 'evil', then we'd need to spread that definition to include a lot of things...oh!..I see it's already been done by the prevalent religio-overlords of the day...Å99

My main point is to try to get people thinking of how evolution and our need to compete screws up both God and those who think we always can choose to do good.

Problem is...good, eeevil would need to be qualified within a framework that accounts for 'evolution', God and whatever other contingency you could choose (or not) to include
