The Nature of Evil

By John P. Johnston

Evil is a word frequently used to describe those who deliberately harm other people. The greater the scope and depth of the harm, the more convinced we are that we are in the presence of evil. The word evil is used so often that we tend to lose touch with its true meaning, which includes not only the intention to inflict pain and suffering, but also the intention to defy God by removing oneself from His Presence. Whereas defying the Will of God is entirely possible, removing oneself from God’s Presence is not possible, no matter how egregious the crime. We can not escape either His Love or His Presence, because we are in fact manifestations of Him, free to interact with His Creation – even to the extent that we can choose to harm others. Even then the choice to love and serve is all that it takes to enter the homeward Path. The Path of Return can be long and hard; nevertheless, those who walk on the dark side always have the option to return.  

The source of evil on our planet can be traced back to the inanimate energies that act upon the human psyche. Most of those energies are left over from a previous incarnation of our solar system; although, various civilizations that have existed in our present solar system have contributed to the problem. Those would include the ancient civilization that once inhabited the Moon, which self-destructed in the wake of greed and violence; and Mars, which erupted in a ball of fire following a planetary nuclear war fought for the sake of competing religious ideals.

Ancient thought forms are the very substance of evil, and when manipulated and controlled by our dark brothers, those thought forms not only gravitate towards similar vibrations, but actively seek out individuals, families, and groups that knowingly and persistently embrace a philosophy of greed and corruption. Many who walk the dark side of the Path have taken that journey, one that usually begins with either a lifetime of unrelenting pain and suffering, or with a lifetime marred by unwarranted societal rejection. Additionally, there are individuals amongst us who have dedicated their lives to the destruction of human civilization. That choice is made by an astonishing number of prominent minds in every field of human endeavor. Those individuals are usually polarized upon the lower mental plane, and frequently occupy positions of authority and leadership. Because they have chosen to selfishly exploit their genius, rather than come to the aid of the human family, they have fallen under the spell of the Black Lodge.

The Black Lodge is controlled by six very powerful entities, three from the Orient and three from the West. Those six entities maintain ashrams on the lower mental plane, where they create thought forms that feed upon the inanimate energies in our solar system that have been conditioned by the evil of the past. Most of their work focuses on world leaders; however, they also target mass consciousness. Only rarely do they attack individuals for any purpose other than gaining control of influential minds. Steeped in greed and corruption, their targets invariably make contact with those evil thought forms, whereupon our dark brothers use that connection to negatively impact the lower chakras of their victims. One of their favorite tricks involves stimulating the chakras located in the soles of the feet, thereby creating what at first feels like an influx of health and vitality. In most cases that energy acts upon the subconscious mind, awakening instincts best left in the ancient past. Those particular chakras no longer serve a purpose in the human family; however, they are very important to the evolution of various species of ape, because they stimulate the impulse to stand up on two feet. When awakened by the average person, either accidentally, or through the use of various rituals and incantations, the chakras in the soles of feet connect the physical frame to the life force of the planet, sometimes with catastrophic results. 

Our dark brothers generally function on the lower astral plane, and are themselves obsessed by the thought forms created by the Black Lodge. Nevertheless, they can, in any given life, make the choice to enter into the Light, and many of them do make that decision. Unfortunately, many tens of thousands went over to the dark side long before the destruction of Atlantis, and are therefore deeply entranced in the rhetoric of the Black Lodge. They would like nothing better than the total destruction of civilization, which they believe would grant them absolute power over whatever remains of the human race.

The founders of the Black Lodge are very ancient, their advent stretching all the way back to the dawn of Atlantis. They have managed to suspend the Law of Rebirth; however, that’s one secret they seldom share, reserving that knowledge for the adepts of their Lodge. They control their followers with the promise of wealth and power, even though that promise is rarely fulfilled. Most of their followers are polarized on the astral plane, and are therefore unable to compete in the modern world where the intellect rules supreme. Nevertheless, some of them manage to accumulate wealth and power through criminal activity, especially through the trafficking of drugs and weapons. Some few are polarized on the mental plane, and are therefore reasonably savvy when it comes to navigating their way to the upper echelon of society. 

The next Armageddon will be fought between the Masters of Light and the Legion of Darkness. That battle, unlike the one fought on Atlantis, will not take place on the astral plane, but upon the mental plane. The Ascended Masters will assemble in group formation, and together sound the Note of Divine Perfection, sending forth a mighty emanation of Divine Love, Wisdom, and Power. The Black Lodge will be destroyed, casting our dark brothers into a deep sleep, where they will remain until drawn into incarnation on another planet in another solar system.
