The archetype in its "good" and its "evil" aspect 3 [sf26]

From the reasoning made previously we had come to identify some essential assumptions in order to try to determine the concept good/evil:
1) The good/evil connotation has absolute value only if it is related to the dictates of the analogous permanent archetype. 

To put it more understandably: what, in an absolute sense, can be determined as good or evil necessarily transcends relativity and is uniquely and fixedly established by the vibration belonging to the permanent good/evil archetype.

2) Any good/evil connotation attributed from a different point of view can only be relative to the point of view of whoever attributes the connotation and, consequently, be - at most - a very uncertain aspect (precisely because of its intrinsic relativity and subjectivity) and reductive of the concept of good/evil in an absolute sense.

And, reasoning on the question "what is the greatest good for the individual's physical body" we had come to consider that:

3) The greatest good for the physical body of the individual can be identified in its being in the ideal condition to carry out the task for which its existence is necessary, i.e. allowing the incarnated individual to immerse himself in the matter of the physical plane and to interact with it in such a way as to be able to acquire, through the typical processes of experience, the greatest number of useful elements to allow the entire "individual" - of which the physical body constitutes, moreover, only one aspect - to proceed in his evolutionary path always adding new fragments of understanding that lead him, in an ever more decisive and direct way, towards the reunion with the Whole.

For the moment, the question remained unanswered: "how come the embodied individual often manifests a careless indifference (when it doesn't even border on self-harm) towards the well-being of one's physicality?".

As I said, there is a large quantity of answers that can be found, most of which, unfortunately, are individual, that is, dependent on the unique and particular path that every being follows in his tending towards reunification with the One Who Is; it is therefore difficult – if not almost impossible – to comment on this without speaking of each individual case.

But it is truly impossible to find some element that can be considered valid for each incarnate individual beyond the path taken and theevolution achieved? Ombre

A common element among all embodied individuals can be traced not so much in the situation itself in the course of which man tries to apply "his" conception of good/evil, but precisely in the fact that he tries to give a good/evil connotation to a given element of experience with whom you come into contact.

It seems to me that it is very easy to realize that the human being's conception of good/evil is very different from era to era, from social class to social class, from man to man and, even, from moment to moment within the same man.

However, this does not take away from the fact that there has never been and will never exist an incarnate being who, in the course of his existence, does not qualify certain elements as "good" and certain others as "evil". Therefore, the urge to try to identify what is good and what is bad is common.
Why does this happen?

I shouldn't even ask you this question, because the answer is extremely simple: this happens because the vibration of the permanent archetype, as we stated, is constant in its call, it is always present in all the Cosmos subject to its vibration and has no never a yielding or a variation of intensity, but possesses such a strength that all reality running through curtains – often in a totally unconscious but no less decisive and determined way – to adapt to it, "feeling" that only by adapting to it in the most perfect way will it be able to find the right path that will lead it to the goal so little understood as much desired.

All this set of considerations, however, to the attentive observer may seem something that not only does not explain the question we asked ourselves (I remind you: "because man often tends to mistreat his physical body, despite being indispensable to its evolutionary experiences?”) but it even seems, from a logical point of view, to contradict everything we have been saying at this point.

If, in fact, the greatest good for the physical body consists in being in the best possible conditions to be able to experience and the embodied man tries to constantly adapt to the calls of the corresponding permanent archetype, Why do some people tend to be destructive of their bodies, often even lethally? Vito

Let's make a first observation trying to underline a point which – imbued as you are with cheap moralism and "doing good to the bitter end" – will leave you perplexed if not outraged or bewildered: we are not talking about the permanent archetype of the good, get out of your mind this conception, because it does not correspond to reality!

We are talking aboutgood/evil permanent archetype, therefore of an archetype concerning, at first glance, what is an apparent dichotomy or duality which, instead, outside of subjective perception and relativity does not exist at all: good and evil are not two separate and opposite concepts, but they are a single complementary concept and in the permanent archetype there are - as we have already said, if I am not mistaken - all the percentage variations between good and evil but the sum of the two percentages tends to always show one hundred percent of the vibration emitted by the permanent archetype.

I imagine that it is quite difficult for you to understand this concept, since it is also so difficult for me to find the right words to be able to make you understand it, also because you are accustomed by the conditionings that influence your life to consider the good as the goal to reach and evil as the thing to be avoided.

The fact is that the permanent archetype we are examining is not constantly whispering to you: "strive for good and shun evil"! This is what your religions or the rules of your societies say. Instead, he tells you to come to consonant with the entirety of the vibration of the good/evil archetype, whatever percentage of good or bad you find yourself experiencing.

This is because the sum of the two elements ends up giving a hundred anyway, but this means something more than a simple mathematical operation, a simple percentage change between the two factors: it means, instead that if, in your experiences, you reached – absurdly – one hundred percent evil this would not mean that you are totally evil but it would mean that, having understood one hundred percent of the concept of evil you will consequently also understand one hundred percent of the concept of good, transcending duality and vibrating in unison with the vibration emitted by the permanent good/evil archetype.

I realize that this discourse, from your point of view, may seem very dangerous as it can serve the individual to try to justify any "evil deed" to himself or to others.

But I remind you that we are speaking in absolute terms, in terms, therefore, of the adjustment of your consciousness to the Absolute itself and in the Absolute, by its very definition, there is not only the good in its most extensive form but also the totality of evil, and they are two not antithetical but complementary elements, necessary to understand Reality.

Going back to our initial question, the answer that can be given is basically quite simple: if the greatest good for the physical body constitutes its optimal condition, thanks to which it is possible to make the best use of all the tools one possesses and, therefore, to draw the best fruits from the experience that one is living, be self-destructive or even destroying one's physical body equally means getting the most out of the experience one is living; in simple terms:

great goodness makes the individual proceed in evolution in the same way as great badness: from both situations he can obtain one hundred percent of the understanding required by the permanent good/evil archetype while following two apparently irreconcilable paths which, in reality, will give him the understanding of not only one pole of the vibration emitted by the permanent archetype , but of both poles and, as a consequence of this, its vibration will be fully consonant with the archetype itself. Scifo

Naturally, for the sake of explanation, those who preceded me used the technique of the absurd to explain some basic concepts to you: you know very well that in reality there does not exist an individual who is one hundred percent adherent to the good or one hundred percent adhering to evil and, not only: on the basis of what we have said this would not even be possible, since to understand one hundred percent good means to understand evil one hundred percent as well.

How does it happen, then, that this blessed physical body, although so evidently necessary and indispensable to human beings not only for evolutionary purposes and to gain experience, but also simply to live out its days, is so easily oppressed and impaired by harmful behaviors?

In more detail: if it is true – as it is true – that the permanent archetype has both its “good” and its “evil” aspects, it establishes that the physical body is, in any case, indispensable for the understanding of Reality by the individual, how can it happen that the vibration that the permanent archetype continuously and with extreme constancy transmits does not lead the individual to keep his physical body as if it were the most precious thing he possesses, therefore to be protected and safeguarded from every possible damage? Ombre

 It is important to remember that the vibrations emitted with constancy and uniformity by a permanent archetype throughout the reality of the Cosmos constitute a sort of "song of the sirens" which indicates the way to go and the goals to reach for each incarnate individual.

The problem is, however, that, having not yet been reached, these goals are not understood by the conscience, by the feel of the individual, nor do they appear clear to the awareness of the man immersed in the matter of the physical plane, but they resound like a subliminal call to which the individual cannot escape, since the vibrations of the permanent archetype are so strong and subtle as to pervade all matter that clothes the embodied individuality.

This cannot escape the "song of the sirens", as it is not something truly external, but something that is closely interwoven with its being and, therefore, belongs to it, and, if you think about it, what I have just said recalls clearly the concept that we have presented to you several times over time, i.e. that there is nothing to be discovered, in reality, by the individual, but that it is "only" a question of acquire awareness of what he already possesses within himself.

Without any doubt you could say that what we have just said means that the permanent archetypes, in the end, are revealed to be nothing but gods yet another conditioning (the first and most essential) that affect the evolutionary path of each individual, and one could not tell you that you are right!

Furthermore, the concepts that I have just exposed to you could also annoy those of you who are closely linked to the idea of ​​your own supposed freedom and who consider yourself supporters and sword-drawn defenders of man's free will.
And, all in all, once again we could only say that they would be right, at least from their point of view.

On the other hand io I think that a constitution of Reality devoid of any conditioning is not conceivable, at any level: looking closely, the very existence of the Absolute can be conceived, in this view, as conditioning in a decisive way the entire existing and therefore, more reason, of the way in which the individual conducts his own evolutionary path… Scifo

  1. Growing up with the idea that God is good, just as Jesus is made to affirm in the bible, against all empirical evidence that can be found every second, we are a bit jolted and dismayed by the affirmations of the guides.

    But we were already so shaken and dismayed by the absurdity of Jesus' statement, or rather saddled with him by who knows what witness and then translator, so it is in our human condition to be dismayed.

    I use the majestic plural and I express a little anger at all these tossing and turning that maybe it's good for those who don't follow any path but try to live as best they can. But even there there is not much margin of choice.

    Well, Merry Christmas in the sense that the days are getting longer after the recent solstice.
