I received a beautiful postcard from Viggi and he says he is doing well so that is good news.

Welcome Anne-Katrine to the list. Hope you have a pleasant stay. I would also call myself a new ager, but that does not mean I do not see flaws in the thinking of many who are under this large tent. I am also a Christian, but see many flaws in their thinking. To achieve stable soul contact one must dispel illusion and in the hope of dispelling such illusion in the few who are willing I write this series.

GOOD AND EVIL PART II

New Ager: Shakespeare was right when he said: "There is no good nor evil save thinking makes it so." So if Shakespeare was right, as I believe he was, then there is no such thing as good and evil.

QUESTION: There is one thing you overlook here.

ANSWER: What is that?

QUESTION: I think, therefore, I AM.

ANSWER: What do you mean?

QUESTION: Thinking makes everything so (or real) including good or evil. Are you prepared to cease thinking just so you can prove your philosophy?

ANSWER: I don't understand.

QUESTION: If someone poisons your dog and he dies a horrible death, would you have thoughts about this event reflecting on the undesirability of this occurrence?

ANSWER: I suppose.

QUESTION: Since you think this is a negative/bad/evil occurrence then your thinking has made it so, has it not?

ANSWER: What is your point?

QUESTION: If evil is an undesirable outcome and what is undesirable is determined by our thoughts then good and evil have to exist as long as thought exists. Do you wish to discontinue using your ability to think?

ANSWER: Of course not.

QUESTION: Then how can you say you think and exist, yet there is no good and evil?

ANSWER: He has no answer the average person can relate to.

I'm short on time now but will add more soon.
