"Evil does not exist as a state unto itself. As darkness is an absence of light, and cold an absence of heat, so evil is an absence of God."

Evil exists only as a state of lacking.

Evil is Godlessness.

Since God is not Godless, God cannot be conceived of as being evil.

That God created evil is evidenced in the fact that God created a state for his absence, so that he could reference Himself.

Nothing is outside of God. SO how could something all inclusive see itself from its outside? An outside that cannot exist?

Thus matter was created to partition emptiness, to make an outside that was inside.

And man was made, that movement of will, as a body to recognize God only by being able to choose God.

Thus man lacks God--or rather, doesn't see God. God contains man, man contains God, but man is blind to God until his awakening. (Then there is only God!) God loves man, because he brings His own image into being. Man cannot be without God, although God can exist without man. And yet God does not exist without man.

So it is they say we were born "of original sin." This is true, but misunderstood by so many. And the ignorance of this meaning creates much suffering

It means that God falls into man to hide from Himself, and yet through man He crosses back to Himself.

Halelu-Jah!
