Not good is not necessarily evil...just selfish...but look at a horribly addicted alcoholic or heroin addict & tell me that suffering spirit of addiction is drawn from the same well as a loving affectionate spirit? I think that while we live in the illusion of time & space...that there is separation...As I have not overcome time & space except on occasion while in meditation or prayer, and once when my soul left my body...I feel the separation must be part of the learning process? If I lived in constant prayer & meditation, perhaps I could see non-duality more clearly...but each day I am tempted to taste duality because my flesh is weak. I know one thing...God has no duality...God only sees good..."God can not even look on sin; "casts our sins as far as the east is from the west" and forgets them or remembers them no more in the Judeo Christian tradition...There is an arguement for non-duality but I personally believe there is a universal struggle...to let go of judgement of any kind for anyone... I am trying to fuse non-duality and Christianity....but my flesh craves duality. I prefer non-judgement as a request for action rather than non-duality which doesn't require an action. If I believe that every action is okay then whatever I do is not important? This to me is functional atheism?
