This reflection explores the idea of good and evil not as fixed opposites, but as expressions of a unified field of human experience shaped by perception, belief, and duality. It invites readers to consider a “middle path” perspective where balance, awareness, and integration of light and shadow become central to understanding the self and the world.
You are both! You are the angel and the beast/demon, the light and shadow, both masculine and feminine. You are the cancer and the cure, the projector and receiver, the electric and magnetic, the giver and the taker. If we took all the humans off mother earth, name one thing that is evil? Name one thing that is good for that matter? The truth is, nature is neither good nor evil, it simply is! It is us, the human experience, that thinks, believes, emotes, and manifests evil upon this world, for without us, it simply does not exist.
“What about all the evil in the world,” you ask? It is merely the catalyst to ignite the transition within you, from fear to courage, which is the first stage of love. By attaining access to the crown chakra, the love/light of creation, the “oneness”, you will learn, without question, that there is no such thing as good and evil. The two are simply different degrees of the “one”. It is the human experience, the experience of duality, which separates the two, and the attachment to the avatar, the human form, the vessel of experience within this density, that chooses one degree over the other.
In other words, our beliefs create the separation, this duality of good vs. evil, as well as the emotional states that accompany them, for it is your perspective which determines your stance, and where you hold your energy determines your perspective. In other words, what is good for the frog is bad for the fly. So the fly would consider the frog as evil, while the frog sees the fly as food or good.
Yes, we are both good and evil, both angel and demon, both light and shadow, both masculine and feminine, both cancer and cure, both projector and receiver, both electric and magnetic, both the giver and the taker. For in the fullness of your consciousness, you are “all”, the very “source”, the “oneness”, the infinite creator and intelligence from which all “reality” emerges. In other words, you are all experiencing itself from a personal perspective. For there is no “I”. For all is “one”. You are not alone, you have never been alone, you will never be alone.
For the light of love and truth is always with you if you simply lower your resistance, your fear, quiet your small self, connect, and let your light guide you.
You cannot reach this state from one side or the other, from the masculine or feminine, the light or shadow, for it takes the balancing of both of these energies, the whole of you, to achieve the fullness of your power. For it is the feminine, the heart chakra, which grants you access to the crown (the mother taking you to the father). The crown which fills the heart chakra with the love/light of truth (the father bringing you back to the mother). When this transmission is complete, the heart chakra will expand to ten times its capacity. It will become the lighthouse in the storm for those who need hope, courage, and guidance.
The true path is the middle path, as every ascended master who has ever returned to us has taught. It is the path which “sees” both sides of the coin, the situation, simultaneously, seeing the truth of each perspective as well as its illusion. From the middle, we can access a 360 degree view as opposed to the singular perspective each has from his or her individual life experience. From the middle, we find love, compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness for all. From the middle, the space between good and evil, love and fear, masculine and feminine, light and shadow, projector and receptor, electric and magnetic, giving and taking, we find the medicine to heal ourselves, our family, our communities, our world.
By enlightening the heart chakra with the love/light of the crown, we create the divine feminine, for she remains disconnected, limited in her power and potential until this state has been accessed. This has nothing to do with women or men, but with the masculine and feminine which reside within each of us, no matter which sex we identify with. Any practice which promotes separation of any kind is not the cure, but the very cancer that divides and weakens us. This allows the few to dictate the many, for force, money, government, weapons, muscles, sexuality, etc., to contain our power, the power of love/light and truth.
Am I attempting to convince you? Not in the least. I’m simply calling to those who are seeking, who already “feel” this truth within.
Big love to all,
Michael
