I love your little pictures they are so cool!Rhutobello wrote:Yes...I have done me the same thoughts as you...and my conclusion to it is, our "ego" line. But just like mine explanation of my thoughts, so is also the "Tree of Good and Evil", just a picture, just so you can see branches where different forbidden fruits are on display...not just an apple.
If we imagine a line, and in one end put our higher self, which are "God alike", and in the other put Super Ego, which are "Devil like" (what most of understand with Devil) then we have the "line of Good and Evil.
When we first was created (not for me since I am more Darwin, but the line function for me anyway), then we was Adam and Eva in Eden, we had no sin, we was pure, we was in our higher self.
Then one day we started on our movement, we would like to investigate a bit more then our normal good life....we would like to taste a forbidden fruit (steal, adultery,...... even black spells, mostly because it benefits our self)
Since our two Parents did this, it showed our God that we no longer was in our "Higher self", and from that we had to leave Garden of Eden, and start to live as ordinary Humans, among other creations of God.
Since then, most of us start out with no sin, but move fast toward the middle, (building of Ego)where we hopefully manage to keep equilibrium.
It seems it has become more and more popular to investigate one self, at least in adult age, and by that move the slider toward "higher self", which never more can be reached, but which gives great benefits, because of greater outlook, and the understanding that I am not the worlds navel![]()
PetraPetraVanilla wrote:Sunmystic, very interesting what you said about fear and evil. I saw a show a long time ago, almost sure it was an episode of "Twilight Zone", where an intelligent machine kept producing humans, sustaining them and experimenting with fear, pain and evil. the more pain was inflicted and the more fear produced, the more aggressive the guy got, but also more intelligent. The machine finally explained it to the guy who started to use his intelligence and finally destroyed the machine. Fact is it produces a vicious cycle - more pain and fear, more intelligence and evil, which in turn produces more fear and pain and so on... unless you can find a way through intelligence to win over fear and keep from getting hurt, master the pain and do only good - and fully evolve in intelligence. But I wonder if intelligence alone has the ability to eliminate the duality of good and evil eventually?
Boy, I sure got philosophical here! LOL
Sunmystic... I just have to share my lynx medicine in this case; the lynx is a lot like me and became my spirit guide... along with the owl and the hummingbird...sunmystic wrote:Petra, I got things down to one fear that is the foundation to all fears, "the fear of being vulnerable."
The problem is that "the fear of being vulnerable" is a valid fear in this world of things. So the key becomes to not dwell on it and to be careful what other fears one attaches to it.
How the human mind sets up programming to create a personality and how that personality is constantly checking itself to make sure it is safe, by it's definition of "safe", is an interesting study.

The lynx is very territorial and will go to great lengths to protect its hunting grounds. If lynx is in your dreams and visions, you may be in need of spiritual or mental protection. The lynx keen nose can warn against negative invasions.
As a solitary animal who hunts and lives alone much of its life, the lynx often comes to those who are loners by desire or design. Lessons of independence and self-reliance are part of its offering, but sometimes the message may be one to console a lonely heart or spirit.
Because of its coloring, size and stealth, the lynx is able to blend and sometimes appear to disappear in its environment. This medicine is valuable in moving unseen between planes and remaining in the background, unobserved and not up front in relationships and events. Once the lynx has successfully tracked its prey, he will sit and quietly observe the whole environment before moving for the kill. Watching for intruders, other prey and passersby, the lynx will absorb all the various activities and weigh all the options before taking action. These characteristics are valuable lessons life in general terms for humans. Silent observation is a great power that allows one see things unnoticed by others. As we follow the power of good silence, we are able to hear the higher purpose intended by the Creator.
I accept Petra's wisdom on this, but at the same time we must also be mindful of fear of the unknown or darkness. This too will attract more of it in your life or add more potential to its power in your life then. It all seems to come back down to a right balance of the opposites. Finding the right balance of all opposing energies in our life will bring us closer to our spiritual goals which will ultimately equate to the evolution of our souls.PetraVanilla wrote:Fermented fruit - alcohol... something that messes with your mind and makes you lose your inhibitions, something that causes you to embarrass yourself, if you use it wrong. Knowledge can do the same, especially knowledge of evil choices. It will tempt you beyond belief. That's why we should also be careful what we expose our mind to. We need to be able to judge whether it will help us prevent evil or become perverted in our thinking. So if you study black magick, but plan to be good, make sure you don't underestimate the temptation you expose yourself to. You need to be mature enough to be able to handle it without abusing it. few of us are capable of that... there's my 2 cents!
