…Yes I am.
So goes the lyrics of a song from a band by the name of Diamondhead, and recorded again by the heavy metal giants, Metallica.
“Am I evil..yes I am…” That’s the dilemma, really.
All of our religions, and all of our philosophies, in the end, seek to address this problem, this “failing.”
Sadly, if we weren’t convinced that we were “evil,”we would probably never seek to know something “higher.”
Am I evil? Yes, I am.
And if you have the “gonads” to admit that, then you have the power to lead a different life.
We all have a dark side…to pretend that we do not is the height of ignorance. Accept the anger…accept that you possess “evil” in equal measure as “good,” …then you will be free to accept a different choice.
The ego is malignant…it can bring you no peace or joy by listening to it. Words are just tumbling out now, from some place that is not of my realm.
You must admit to the “negative” aspect of who you are, the “evil,” if you ever wish to be something greater. Perhaps this makes no sense to you, but it is what I have been give to share this night.
Many Blessings To All…
