Popular culture has trained people to associate evil with darkness. However, evil rarely presents itself as something hideous, twisted, and dark, and darkness is actually an aspect of divine nature. This conceptualization throws people off track, and leaves them vulnerable to the ensnarements of the negative force. In this episode, I will discuss how this misunderstanding likely came to pass, and how to keep yourself safe through more accurate discernment.

Such wisdom here. We need to train our eyes not to see the good in people, but rather to see the truth. If we blind ourselves to the evil, we open the door for it to flourish.
You just happened to end up in my TH-cam feed. I liked my first sample of your work (women approach their relationships with men like men approach jobs). I had a look at your selection of videos and this one really jumped out at me. I have been studying Animism and ancient philosophies of man. You have done a great job here explaining how the spirits of the earth are just as important as the spirits of the sky. You've done it in your own way of course but I find it incredibly rare to find anyone outside of perhaps contemporary Shamans who understand the world of spirits. I have subscribed based on this video.
For my part, I will just add that the darkness and the Spirits of the Earth have been Demonized, literally. The Hebrew, Muslim, Christian religions have all mislead people in this regards. They have damaged our natural, common, universal understanding of the world of spirits.
Thanks again for your good work!
I’m watching this from Mongolia 🇲🇳 where I personally know shamans. I come from a typical generic Christian background and over the years have been piecing together a worldview that is reasonable and logical to me, and it happens to have fallen more or less right in the place he describes. I sincerely appreciate the somewhat off topic mussing.
Very insightful. I wish I fully understood that at a younger age. Very powerful way to address a substantial question of life.
another wise advice. it's obvious...after your explanation
And the thing about evil is that it does not only masquerade as good on a consciousness level, but also on the unconscious. We all can see that serial killers, rapists etc. are evil and they undoubtedly are, but how many people have not done the most horrible of deeds in the belief that they were perfectly justified, or even doing good?
This makes me think about the movie Nefarious.
very enlightening episode! :)
I like your videos so I follow your channel and watch your videos regularly. I think this video was a bit too abstract. You could have had an example. We all have holiness and evil so you could have taken an example even from your own life cos none of us is a saint.
The devil is in the details 😊❤😢
Evil can exist with one person in a room. But evil cannot thrive without a captive audience that denies reality. Evil's biggest assest is confirmation bias, and obedience and its greatest adversary is an open mind and a questioning mind, and moral standards .
Bill Gates and his created pandemic, and forced vaxx. Revelations says they will line up like sheep for the slaughter.
Obedience, yes!
If evil was easy to spot, it would be easy to eliminate.
Nah. Eliminating evil require GREAT courage
It IS easy to spot
NO evil people are not easy to spot.
My mother always used to say that evil people do not have horns.
(i am translating from my language, i hope it make sense).
I get your point. But it''s not hard to spot either. Keeps coming back, we need to keep whamming it until extermination haha.
All the worst genocidal dictators are eliminating evil in their minds
No disagreements with your description but I think you left out another aspect oh evil. It hides as banal indifference and pettiness. If you want to observe evil in action, watch bureaucrats, guidance councilors and social workers in action. Many of them are goodness personified, but it is where I've observed the most evil in action.
The banality of evil. Exactly
What are some evil things social workers have done? I don't doubt it, just curious.
@@SquidShield Remove children from safe homes because of court sanctioned abuse of power - at least you could say they were just following order in some cases. The “caring profession” namely K12 teaching and elderly care statistically attract people who are looking to take advantage of power imbalances.
@@patrickmcmanus1360 True. My girlfriend worked at a nursing home for a while and most of her coworkers hardly saw the residents(elderly) as people.
@@SquidShield It is messed up but also made worse by our social devaluing of elderly and mothers and so called “non productive” members of society.
As someone who has been molested, when their eyes become black and bring shivers down your spine when they transform before doing their evil acts. It's something it would be hard to even believe until pure evil is seen, which I do not wish on anyone. Just know it exists, because they prey on the naive and kind-hearted. I believe those people are void of their sense of self and morality. The closer you are to your intuition/sense of self, the further away you are of becoming that void energy of evil. Much love, I love all your videos xo
@AuthenticMath sending you love dear one, I am so sorry this happened to you. Wishing that the best is here for you and so much love and beauty. You deserve the best xo
My heart goes out to both of you, and I wish that you are in safety now. And that you won't give fear power over you, but will use the brutal experiences of the past to be wise in protecting others and 100% committed to balanced kindness to yourself always too.🌦️🌱
@@zetristan4525 Thank you dear one, you deserve all the love and infinity what you are giving. You are the rarest Gem xo
@@Angell_Lee We have to have a big heart for all fellow experiencers (without being stupid. But no time for cynicism either). What's important is that you don't end up feeling "small" because that's how you once were: Then you take each with self-confidence / not needily. 💗
I agree. Real evil is something I think very few people have experienced. But when you see it and you sense it, you would never wish it upon another person, because evil relishes in nothing but chaos and destruction. I hope that you've been able to overcome your encounter with malevolence, perhaps you are strong enough now to defend yourself from it and ward it off.
This simple explanation gave me goosebumps. I used to believe that good and evil is easy to discern, but it's not that simple and the path to hell is paved with good intentions. Intentions that you think are good because you don't get the whole picture and how they will affect you and people around you and can bring down a whole civilizations... Or suffering to multiple generations
The rise and fall of civilizations is cyclical and a necessity. It is chaos that creates new things.
A very common example of evil can come from someone with authority over another who gets the opportunity to exercise their power in a way that gives them pleasure at what hurt they are inflicting. The authority may be only momentary, that does not matter and the actor may in general be seen as a good person.
Dear Sir, please continue doing the work you are doing here. It is quite simply one of the most extraordinary services to the public that I have ever witnessed. Thank You.
Great points/observations. Thank you. The "banality of evil" ... an entire bookcase could be written about evil, and has been. Dostoevsky wrote "humans can get used to anything" and Solzhenitsyn “If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
During the life of any heart this line keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name doesn't change, and to that name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil.
And the most sobering thought of all, scratch the very thin veneer of civilization and you quickly find savage evil. "Evil is us"
.
yes, above actually is | was title of a book by hannah ahrendt analysing findings within the process against adolf eichmann (ss) in 1961.
Evil is something people don’t understand. Its not really evil, their lack of understanding paints it evil in order to understand. But its not truly evil
Yep. Such an essential lesson. I hate how different looking people are labeled as scary looking. The cruelest peoole I’ve known were or are attractive or at the very least charming and sociable.
I think most men who have had an 8, 9 or a 10 learn pretty quick that evil can wear a beautiful mask.
truth! haha
good content. I believe the light/dark analogy also persists because in the dark one cannot see well, thus it is harder to avoid being attacked. "evil" lurks in that darkness. This affirms what you are saying - it is not the darkness itself that is evil, but the idea conceptually is that evil is 'hidden' - it hides its true face and thus is not easily seen for what it is.
Excellent video.
Pornography and abortion immediately spring to mind when it comes to evil imitating beauty (in pornography’s case) and a shortcut to success (in abortion’s case).
Define “pornography”
🤣🤣🤣
Joshua: thank you!
I agree evil hides in plain sight. Some people can see it and some do not. For me it took some painful experiences for them to become apparent and obvious.
I might correct : Voldemort used to be the most handsome student at Hogwarts. At that time he was called Tom Riddle. He did not show any agression so everybody thought highly of him.
It might still stand though as a good "evil model".
Tom Riddle, someone having many good attributes (physically good looking, an excellent mage & student, etc.) had deep potential but also and a large lust for power. In this series he was tempted to the latter. This we see manifested physically later with his appearance change into that overblown grotesque form (noseless voldermort), as well as literally "seeing" for what he truly is now. At that point he simply does not care to hide it or is too delusional to see what others see him as.
It mirrors quite a few instances on how evil is portrayed I think, in that people hide their malevolence until a certain point point where it's no longer apt.
I'm a clergyman and I will use this in a sermon (quoting you) thank you!
Good idea
"Your" belief sounds a lot as Jung.
So, Dr. it seems like you are saying that Good is a real bill 💵 while evil is a counterfeit bill?
🤷♂️
Deeply insightful, as always. I'm really enjoying these short talks, thank you.
Very true! I escaped from and am fighting co-parenting with a covert narcissist who has obvious anti-social personality disorder as well. No empathy whatsoever even for her children. None! And no conscience! And she takes pleasure in other people's pain. She really enjoys it. I could never imagine such an evil person.., it's simply not possible to comprehend. I had no imagination for such pure evil. I always believed it would be more easy to detect.
And it's covered in a mask of virtue.., tenderness..., softness..,.. light.., so people are deceived. I agree with the comment about the demonic evil. But it's all new to me. Thank's for the video!
I am with you, brother. Not exactly were you are, but in the same world. Don't worry; virtue always shines for he who wants to see.
And yet you were attracted to her.
I was/am in the exact same boat as you.
Maybe in our quest for constant balance, we seek what is different from us.
Hopefully not what is similar?
So why were we attracted to her?
We must grow beyond this.
@@GG-lm9ik Sorry to hear you're in the same boat. It was a complete deception. Theatre and facade that she could keep up just long enough for me getting hooked by us having a daughter. Then the mask dropped. It was a complete dr. Jekyll - mr- Hyde situation. I managed to get out but had two years of custody battle, false allegations, having to prove myself innocent (as a man you're guilty til proven innocent) and finally got 50 % time with my daughter. Now my focus is on protecting her and reduce the constant conflicts. It's important that information about these type of women and personality disorder are spread.
Lucifer was another name for Venus, more than likely the early Church adopted the name for Satan in order to get people to stop worshipping the Roman goddess. Satan works for God in the Old Testament. When Balam is confronted by the angel to keep him from cursing the Israelites, that is Satan. Just a word that means accuser or adversary. This word doesn’t become personified until the Judahites encounter with the Zororasterians. Many religions believe good and evil is in the heart of most humanity. You choose to do things that benefit you and harm others, then that is typically seen as evil. Good and evil are perceptions of human consciousness. Wild animals kill each other for food and for dominance. They don’t realize that they are doing harm to one another. They just need protein or are making sure their offspring are safe or that they will be able to reproduce. Human beings can think about things, so they realize their actions are harmful unless they suffer from mental illness or choose not to engage in perspective taking, thought assessment and personal evaluation. Some people choose to keep evil out of their minds, such as everyone of us who uses modern technology while the poorest people in the world dig in mines with their bare hands to get elements that make our phones work. Women work in these mines with children strapped to their backs. Both mother and child inhale toxins from the process and all for less than one dollar a day. They can’t afford enough calories and nutrients to reach complete health by modern western standards. Evil is in all of us. It’s easy to not think about the poorest people in the world, because I can say I have no control over the poorest people in the world. I could vote for leaders who advocate for all people in the world having the rights to all resources, but that may mean a loss of status for me. Then how would I get the feeling of superiority I get from the social acceptance I get because of my ownership of resources?!
The World Economic Forum… classic evil.
Such clear and powerful explanation. Thank you for passing along this wisdom.
you must read Republic by Plato , dark is not a color , light has no Shadow , Darkness is the absence of light and most importantly you can only see light in Darkness, you are not Knowledgeable as you look
As a Christian listening to this I can really agree.
Great topic, Dr Taraban!
Yes, evil tends to wear a bright and attractive costume like the Pied Piper but it leads your astray to your death. The Bible actually says that Satan's false ministers infiltrate the church and it should be expected because even he is transformed into an angel of light. People choose shortcuts and expediency over sacrifice and righteousness and it causes devastation for them and many others.
I don't think it's darkness which represents evil since God made it, but more what darkness is used for. People are clandestine and secretive over their evil deeds so darkness is the metaphor for it but the unborn child is created in the dark womb and the serpent tempted Eve in broad daylight.
Hey Dr, did you know the constellation Orion is mentioned in the Bible? It's in Job.
I wanted to make this same comment
If one looks into esoteric teachings light and darkness is part of the divine. Even in tao there is light in darlness and darkness in light. There is also the false light. I would evil can be both in the light and the dark. So i pretty much agree with what he said . I learn this myself as i got older that evil can in the dark and in the light.
I thought you were going to talk about “shadow work”. “Evil” is just a denial of your shadow ( or your real personality independent of socialization). Hannah Arendt approaches this from a philosophical angle and Jung and Nietzsche as well. Refusal to acknowledge and confront your primal instinctual impulses and needs, means you have much less ability to control them. They control you basically. You become out of control and on autopilot and the behest of some dark pool of desire pain and fear. The reason why people see the narcissist as demonic or evil. Narcissists have disowned their entire personality since childhood - not just parts - and created what they consider a loveable mask. Their entire original personality has become their shadow. They are completely controlled by their fears of acknowledging their shadow. Calling things “evil” I think reeks of ancient dogma. We know now that while certain acts can looks very evil, the people committing them are just very weak people who have no spine and no authenticity because of the overwhelming fear that controls them.
Disagree. The key point is if you have this feeling part of empathy, or little bit, or only cognitive empathy. The last one has a psychopath too, who can be very charming and do a lot of things right, because he know, what the others feel. But he has no feeling component, and you can this measure in functional MRI very well. In contrast many people can be very empathic, but they often suffer from it, because it drain their brain capacity. As a "normal" I had an empathic phase, when I saw some pictures of Mai Lai. I was overwhelmed by emotions for a week, I felt for them and was distracted often. It was a bad experience. This is how many sensitive, very empathic people feel all the time.
I know, under external stress I can develop quite narcissistic traits. Nevertheless there is a strong emotional gap between me and a psychopath and a narcissist.
Of course most psychopath are not evil today, but in more stressful times the are.
@@GermanTaffer There’s actually new research out on empathy and psychopathy. Paul Bloom wrote “against empathy” recently based off someone else’s original research (forget who). He observed that empathy is actually amoral and in fact driven by tribalistic impulses. Psychopathy likewise doesn’t have quite the moral implications we used to think it did. Most psychopaths are highly driven focused and creative people. Emotional people can be a lot more dangerous than unemotional people. Hitler for instance was very emotional and his charisma and ability to connect with others on an emotional level was very destructive. Psychopaths on the other hand are less inclined to be persuaded by group pressure - a very dangerous and possibly the most destructive force known to man.
@@GermanTaffer It turns out that we just moralized the ability to socialization connect with others. However, some of the most dangerous people actually don’t do the damage themselves but get others to do it for them. Most of the murderous dictators in history for instance. Psychopaths don’t give in to peer pressure as easily. That is alone a very valuable trait. Not only are psychopaths not as dangerous as psychology previously thought but without them we would not have the craziness and determination necessary to move society forward. They are on average a force for good not evil. The only reason we have demonized them is because it’s scary for the average person and not a relatable personality type. It is definitely not as dangerous as emotional personality type. Emotional people when they aren’t harnessing other people’s destructive energy as I described, are often unstable enough that they lose control of themselves.
@@GermanTaffer All I was originally talking about was “narcissism” not “empathy”. Those are discussed together online, but actually as I understand narcs, empathy isn’t really the issue. It’s just a side issue and not the root cause of narcissism. Narcs basically are wounded children who understood their personality to be unloveable and distasteful to the adults around them. They create a mask personality - that they have no personal emotional connection to. They create this mask and in the process begin to hate themselves. Because they can’t love or appreciate or connect to this new fake person they’ve now become - they get others to love him/ her instead. Their whole life is a series of manipulations to get this fake person love in the hopes of finding some peace. They’re ruthless and umempathetic in this mission or pursuit. It’s out of desperation. It’s like a drowning man pulling everyone else down with him.
@@GermanTaffer I think we might perhaps be in agreement. I’m not calling narcs or psychopaths “evil”. I just mean “society” sees narcs as evil and the reason behind why narcs act as they do isn’t actually evil at all. It’s woundedness operating in ignorance of that wound. What people think of as “evil” usually isn’t “mal - intent” (bad intentions). It’s more accurate and productive to call it what it is, which is a kind of ignorance fear and disconnect from our true personality. “Evil” implies an underlying intention of causing harm and destruction. That is what it manifests as on some level, but the underlying intent is definitely no bad intentions and desire to cause harm ....in most cases at least .
Evil and good are the same thing, just a different POV.
Evil is your benefit at someone elses expense.
The fountainhead is one of my favorite novels for this very reason. Although I disagree with objectivism overall, Toohey sent a fucking shiver down my spine because he wore the veil of 'good' so well.
Another comment for algorythm.
the road to hell is paved with good intentions
I'd like to hear about handling people's "love bombing" when you first meet them.
1000 times yes! All I can think of with this talk is BPD & NPD
I feel as though you can think more about this subject. Dark isn't necessarily evil is more accurate. There is justified and unjustified creation in the world. And there is justified and unjustified destruction in the world. Not all dark is bad or unjustified, but all evil is unjustified destruction.
As soon as I turned from evil and tried to find God he changed my life.
Keep up the good work
True evil is offbrand good. Wheat and tares. Sheep and goats. Based and cringe.
Evil usually offers a shortcut or an impossibility.
It most often knows it doesn't work and it doesn't care.
Hating god for the crime of existence.
Evil is the sight that sees evil in everything - Or like a buddhist belief : evil is a special kind of ignorance.
Evil is also more powerful in the game of appearances than good - it offers you alluring rewards for selling your soul.
I think this can be easily understood by looking at the German version of the word eveil, "übel". Evil has a connotation of intent, it's more closely aligned to malign. Whereas the German übel just means bad. So evil doesn't need to be malign. As you said, most evil is done by pursuing something that seems good.
There is no "force"of something we should regard as "evil".
The fact that you mention Lucifer destroys your credibility, because speaking from ignorance is a really bad idea, doctor. You should speak from knowledge instead. Should learn of the topic, that character that you named, and we should talk about etymology.
You are presuming that he resigns over that "force" but instead, you should understand that evil is only that which we do not want. It's not a force, no more than Valdemar is.
I just want to take it back, Dr. Orion, as the value of all your other videos has been substantial for me. Your stilted subjective idea of the idea of "evil" is not with standing here, but otherwise I have found your shows to be substantially above par from, the others in your genre. You have an intellect that's cast iron or I don't know if that's the perfect analogy but it's maybe crystalline iron. There's some thing foundational about how you see in a balanced way.
I guess you and I would have a really good conversation about this idea of evil sinse I respect the shit out of your way of thinking. So many people have this sugarcoating/virtue signaling way of presenting themselves, which is false, false, false, false false. It's because they don't have a grasp of objectivity. so this tells me that my view of your "evil" topic shows me that I have a bit of bias that I have to work through. If I respect your thought, so much, well, anyway, I just think that evil is not a force, and it's not an entity, and you'd have to have a folklore level of sophistication in terms of, a superstitious, , religious belief that evil is a "force".
When I say above par, I think that you bring a confidence to your ideas, and you don't make it so people can't disagree. This is good. Super honorable. Maybe it's the confidence in conjunction with the humility that makes you quote above par" for me in this statement.
I think other people can really stick to the text a bit too much for my taste, and that's why I completely would prefer Carl Jung, as opposed to Freud, but maybe that's because the more I understand about occult, which means secret or shielded, the more I understand where your religion and the others came from. That's what Carl Jung understood. I doubt he talked about evil as an entity.
A thorough investigation of the history of the 20th century should teach people that evil is not dark at all. It really does resemble goodness to those it ensnares. To a drug addicted person, the pleasure of getting high is good; it is only after they are hooked that they realize the destructiveness of the path become a slave to.
You have reminded me of the progression of the movie REQUIM OF A DREAM where the first part of the movie shows the euphoria and exhiliration of their drug use then followed by their slow destruction of their relationships, loss of employment and theid final heartbreaking act where they did all sorts of things to get money to buy drugs until consequences caught up with each of them.
Just like the initial euphoria of drug use, sometimes evil may be disguised and may even let you believe that the evildoers are virtuous whilst the victims/oppressed are the ones who are evil who need to be eliminated.
Philosophically, this doesn't work. You needed to start with your working definition of evil but instead, you assumed we would all agree on what it is.
he is a small guy in a top-hat and a suit, smoking a cigar, is a great supporter of environment protection, wokeness and all noble causes, as long as they divide and antagonize people, he is sitting on a cloud where our Lord should sit and is laughing at us...
I think this is the first video I've seen of yours that I was not enthralled with but it wasn't only slightly bad, it actually makes me not want to watch you anymore. That's how strongly feel about how distorted is this video.
I would suggest keeping metaphysical topics away from your show.
PH, you know I jokingly poke fun of you sometimes, but I gotta say, you definitely Wisdom-mog me on this topic.

I believe this will become visible to sleepers when "celebrities" are unmasked for what they are. Hopefully soon.
TY for your helpful and insightful videos.
Hello: I don't know if you are able, however, if possible listen to the beginning of Michael Redgrave's reading of Milton's Paradise Lost. The character of Lucifer is incredibly seductive. Stay well and safe.
so happy to see you grow. Been here from the start and the content is still valuable after all this time
Hitler had your exact coloration: brown hair and BLUE eyes! That’s why I wouldn’t marry such a man. (That plus the fact that mine would be darker.)
my personal experience has been that evil spirits enfold us in many layers that NEVER seem as evil at first. like Dante`s Inferno in The Divine Comedy. not sure can a human will remove it, because these layers are inside the self. which explains the need for the 3rd element - divine. perhaps Catholic since it`s the most advanced in this field.
the pope smokes dope
Orthodoxy is more advanced than the Roman church.
@@mwolf2620 how can a orthodox theology be more „advanced“. It contradicts itself lol
The blood of Jesus Christ casts out evil.
@@svst3767The whole concept of monotheism contradicts itself (in Christianity). If there's one God, what's with this Satan stuff? Does God want Satan to do evil or what? That would be the logical answer, but, of course, that can't be the answer, because God is also nothing but goodness. Now, in Zoroastrianism, of course, they have rivaling deities, but Christianity is a monotheistic teaching... So it seems that people just wanted to have both the perks of "there's only one God and it's our God" and the "screw these other evil gods with a spoon!" So they patched it up with "the ways of God are mysterious". No kidding!😂 And now adult men who diligently bend their minds into contours of this nonsense have the audacity to call out their brothers in Christ for not being straight minded enough 😂
Evil is mostly dark and sometimes light. Good is mostly light but sometimes dark like wicca.
You are advocating for Gnosticism. You are 100% advocating for the ideology of a lot of films.
10 points for use of the word "reified". You're now officially in the smart-guy club.
Lucifer was the most beautiful angel in heaven before God threw him out of heaven; Evil presents itself as beautiful, captivating , and wholesome, that penetrates the general public as a harmless guise, with a sinister ghost.

Very interesting subject to share and explore - and interesting addition to your channel. Please bring them on.
It's really insightful. As editor, I've often come to think that people consider themselves too much as characters in a story forgetting that stories are atrificial by default, and that any story ends when the author feels like it. And we fall prey on the idea of evil stories are telling us.
Lucifer was also the most beautiful of the angels. that brings alot of sense to my dating life
Thank you for sharing this, I met the Devil once. He introduced him as a She, it was a few minutes encounter, that I remember ever since. Today, I would say the Devil took the shape adequate / according to my soul /spiritual state.
Firstly….your choice of first name, Orion, is already VERY interesting.
Your analogy about polarity, as in light and dark, is funny.
Maybe, just come out and say it: we are “herd animals” who are highly social and in need of interaction. Those in service to the community (service-to-others) are obviously good - and those who only seek to act in a self-serving manner, in the detriment of society, (service-to-self) are evil. It is often the Hidden Hand engaged in a front of “philanthropy” that stabs the innocent in the back.
Is that evil? As a herd animal I would have to say YES…but nature, bloody in tooth and claw, would (if it could) say NO.
The Hidden Hand, in the same token, has to hope that the herd doesn’t become aware of their backhanded stabbing, otherwise, nature will come for them, and rightly so!
Spot on, its perfect description of women.
You have gained a follower my freind
Evil is something people don’t understand. Its not really evil, their lack of understanding paints it evil in order to understand. But its not truly evil
I'm going to use the term "Sun burn & beautiful stars" .... Sun burns mean when people nagging you to be overly nice and whimpy. The beautiful stars means good in darkness .
Voldemort didn't always look like that. Tom Riddle was handsome, dashing. His evil twisted him, as it granted him Power. Draco Malfoy has similarly evil good looks.
The same motif applies to Sauron, and Palpatine.
Good people may appear dangerous, like Sirius Black, Strider, or even Yoda (look at his teeth and claws). What sets them apart is their willingness to serve others.
2 Corinthians 11:14
'For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.…'
Psychology is science combined with art, yet spirituality/ religion is purely esoteric and has no place on a channel such as this one..Only an American would get the idea to mix and match these absolutely opposing realms.....KEEP IT REAL and such dichotomy out of this ( if you want to keep a foreign audience) !
Darkness and light can be interpreted literally or symbolically. Darkness and evil do not exist in and of themselves.
I believe that evil manifests through fear and doubt.
That‘s why Berserk is so great. It really flips this normal idea of the good guy being light and the bad guy being darkness on its head
as a darkskin man who has been described as intimidating.....thanks
Ted Bundy was successful luring women because he was handsome. As a short, ugly, nerdy looking male, I often find people, especially women, treat me differently from the get-go. This has gotten better now that I'm older and I'm surrounded by more mature people. But still, it happens. Disney, TV, movies, etc. have always promoted this discrimination.
that is an interesting subject n seems very important to consider, as u say, generally Hollywood's portrayal of evil is no more real than many other subjects it spins.I think evil isn't just a green slime mysteriously drippin down the wall, although no doubt on the eve of the fall of Babylon as the rulers reveled in their days long drunken orgy n who knows what else, a mystereous hand writing on a huge wall, something like, your times up n your enemies will destroy your kingdom,this nite, i think. Sure must have looked evil,felt evil,etc
This is exactly the philosophy of Islām - Hell / Jahannam is surrounded by pleasures and appealing things that are in fact evil and harmful... And Heaven / Jannah is surrounded with difficulties that most people avoid, but are so good for you.
As a general rule of thumb, we can confidently say that anything which does not come from love is evil.
What?! Hell no, all evil people love themselves and many others love their families 🤷🏻♂️
@@imad4857 evil people can love themselves, why not?
@@AnRodz it’s natural, not weird
Buddhism doesn't use the concepts of good and evil, but rather that the root of suffering is ignorance. Given that karma is inescapable but often plays out over multiple lifetimes, if we could see the long-term effects of our "evil" actions and that their consequences would all come back to us, we would never commit them. Everyone in the world wants happiness and doesn't want suffering.
Hey Dr. Orion. Wishing you well.
Take a peek at the Koran sometimes. It indicates what you just said.
People don't do evil things unless they are convinced they are actually doing good. The Koran says Pharaoh was like this.
Not sure this is that great a video, especially as compared to all your others I have watched so far. Its not very specific, and doesn't talk about values, self-interest or utility, or subjectivity, or conceptual validity, or ignorance. Or social role for the concept. Or psychology, or evolutionary psychology. Etc.
said this for years. Evil dosent crawl out of the ground with red eyes, bat wings and hooves saying "let's kill folks". It walks right up wearing white with a smile and a handshake. Nowhere in the bible does it say lucifer was malformed and radiating darkness. If the paths to hell are paved with good intentions then evil most easily recognized, in the absence of discernment, in the rear view mirror.
