The law of duality - light and dark, truth and
falsehood, happiness and sorrow-prevails in manifestation. It
proceeds through two orders of being, the Gods or beings of light,
peace and knowledge, and the Demons or Anti-Gods, the beings of
darkness, violence and ignorance. Human beings exist between these
two forces and two types of entities. We can ally ourselves with the
Divine force and work to further cosmic evolution and the unfoldment
of light and consciousness in the world.
Or we can ally ourselves with the undivine force
and work to obstruct cosmic evolution and prevent the unfoldment of
light and consciousness in the world. The
undivine powers work in imitation or pretence of the Divine because
they have no independent creativity. They create false Gods and
false teachings and try to drag us down into desire, greed and
ambition.
Hence discrimination between
these two forces is not always a simple matter. It demands our
deepest attention, our greatest sincerity, and our utmost
selflessness. As we evolve in consciousness we must move even beyond
lesser Gods until we sacrifice all to the highest Divinity, the Self
of all. |
