Rupert Spira | Why Does Evil Exist If Love Is All There Is? @rupertspira | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Why does evil exist if love is all there is? How is it possible for evil to appear, or seem to appear, if the nature of all that is is inherently good?

Rupert says: ‘The reason is because God can only experience manifestation through the localised perspective of each of our minds. But in doing so, God seems to become a finite mind or separate self – that’s each of us. But if we believe that we are separate and think that others are others, that enables us to behave towards them in unloving ways.

‘That is why so-called evil is always from the point of view of the individual. The individual who believes themselves to be an individual rather than the universal behaves in ways that express that belief. That accounts for how evil is possible in a creation whose nature is pure love.’
