%ESSENTIAL AFFIRMATIONS/DENIALS 851001
The conflict between "good" and "evil" is a conflict
between "Love" and "Alienation" which is characterized by
integrative affirmations on the one hand and
disintegrative denials on the other. The essence of the
disintegrative denials is negative in nature, yet they
mask themselves in forms which are made to appear to be
positive in nature; in the form of "good" laws, rules,
regulations, techniques, etc. which are dedicated to
apparently "good" ends. The instrumental techniques are
justified by their "good" intentions. Yet there is absent
a careful dedication to study the actual consequences of
the dedication to the use of those instrumental techniques
and how they relate to the positive affirmations of love.
Love does not deny the affirmations of those who
would make integrative use of the instrumental techniques
in the service of "good" intentions. The tragic
consequences come from the associated denials by "good"
people of the integrative affirmations of love. The
tragic consequences of "good" people's ways of dealing
with situations do not flow from their genuinely
integrative affirmations; but from their disintegrative
denials. It is difficult to distinguish between the two
because obscuring such differences is one of the ways that
"evil" occasions disintegrate. When people can not tell
the difference between integrative and disintegrative
ideals, values and means; then people tend to
disintegrate. Confusion does not serve integration.
Confusion serves disintegration.
Love works to promote clarity of the difference
between integrative and disintegrative ideals and values.
Love does not view ignorance and confusion with favor,
because ignorance and confusion promote disintegration,
the opposites of the direction of love's work. Love works
to make affirmations which transcend the confusion of evil
denials implicit in the evil affirmations of "good" people
who have not know love and are confused about what the
essence of Love is. It is important to distinguish
between the instrumental values and means which may be
used by Love to promote integration; and Love itself. The
instrumental values and means without the guidance of Love
tend to promote disintegration. The instrumental values
and means by themselves are evil due to their lack of
Love.
