Title: From Voice of Knowledge
Post by: Firestarter on November 22, 2009, 08:01:05 AM
"..most people around the world believe that there is a great conflict in the universe, a conflict between good and evil [light and dark]. Well, this is not true. It's true that there is a conflict, but the conflict only exists in the human mind, not in the universe. It's not true for the plants or the animals. It's not true for the stars or the trees, or for the rest of nature. It's only true for humans. And the conflict in the human mind is not really between good and evil. The real conflict in our mind is between the truth and what is not the truth, between the truth and lies. Good and evil are just the result of that conflict. The result of believing in the truth is goodness, love, happiness. When you live your lfie in truth, you feel god, and your life is wonderful. The result of believing in lies and defending those lies creates what you call evil; it creates fanaticism. Believing in lies creates all of the injustice, all of the violence and abuse, all of the suffering, not only in society but also in the individual. The universe is as simple as it is or it is not, but humans complicate everything!..."  ~Don Miguel Ruiz

Thank you for the reminder, perhaps I should have some quote like this from Don Miquel as an opener in my book about the happenings 911.

In the mind but not in reality.
