The result of that perception is the same, of course, i.e., "evil," but when one wakes up to the fact that there is no place where there is no God then evil truly can be shown not to exist.<< --It might be helpful to think of evil as a kind of imaginary number which does not exist, but when multiplied, has real effects. To believe there is no place without God is to transcend evil, and in the process disintegrate the foundation on which evil lives. Difficult, since the concept of God itself becomes a source of evil when it turns into dogma. Buddhism gets it right, but it's not always easy to explain Buddhism to Christians or Muslims who still see nothing of God in their enemy. C. Lockhartwww.soulaquarium.netYahoo!
