On Left and Right in the Archetypes

[anagogy]

Neither of these pathes are good or evil. They can be used in a multitude of ways.

I used to say this myself.

But what is evil when you get right down to it?

I think "selfishness, at the expense of others", is pretty much as valid a descriptor of "evil" as is anything. Therefore, I must disagree -- one path is most certainly good, and one is most certainly evil. I think that people have an aversion to saying "good" and "evil" because they think it implies "judgement" to say such things, but what is judgment but a kind of analytical discrimination? Ra used the terms "negative" and "positive", which is really no better than "good" and "evil" when you think about it. Both indicate a binary and opposing nature. One indicates radiation, and one indicates absorption.

Granted, "good" and "evil" are, in general, nebulously defined, but if we look at the metaphysical principles of magnetism as exhibited by consciousness, in relation to the polarities, we cannot help but see the inevitable connection between the traditionally and culturally universal archetype of "evil" qualities which, inevitably, point to some kind of "selfish" nature. The same goes for positive polarity and the concept of "good" which inevitably involves some kind of "selfless" or "giving" nature.

Therefore, the misconception is not that the paths of polarity are beyond the binary scope of good/evil, but rather, the misconception inherent in most cultures, and their respective religious traditions, is that the creator frowns upon the choice of "evil". Both paths are equally valid from the creator's standpoint, and, as we know from the Ra material, even the path of separation ends well at some point in the journey.
