<But you know very well that harm and hurt and intentionally causing pain and injury are just as fundamental and real as being helpful and kind.>

Yes, they are a lack of love, helpfulness, etc. Is it really THAT important to label something evil rather than lack of good {light}? That is what I was talking about the pitfal of dualism... it leads to a "laundry list" of what is evil, vs bad vs whatever. If you choose good, love, etc... all the shadows disappear.

<<That is a rather helpless argument in reconciling the problem of evil--saying it doesn't exist!>

No, I'm just describing to the best of my understanding how the infinite field of conciousness would actually work. Of course we simply describe things to the best of our abilities. IMO the 'light' metaphore captures the idea as well as can be. No 'enlightened' person would even think of perpetrating evil deeds. As ones conciousness is raised, the experience is that of light coming into a dark room... past ways of being {say sinful ways} are illuminated as having been ignorant... all is 'recontextualized'. You don't "root out" or "cut out" evil like some cancer... it disolves into the light, so to speak.

I've never studied these guys... he must have been of high conciousness.

Again... all this is JMO.
