No regrets about the past

The past life, a life of satiety, sin, suffering, mistakes and trials, can surely be precious and useful to us. Could we be the ones we are now if we didn't come from there? Jesus came to this world coming not from the world of sin, but He also was acquainted with the sin, He had the information about the sin. And surely He experienced it on the cross althought not guilty.

And now we must not despise the time when we were in sin. Jesus also don't regret about those three days. We should remember these times and learn from them. To remember that we had already been there, passed by that path and there is no point to experience it again anymore. Not if we are souls who seek the new, the diverse, the harmony, the perfection. If we remember the sin, it won't attract us ever, because we had experienced it.

Sin is the past.

Purifying

How do you remove the dirt on a generally neat object. You need a solvent - a substance that is clean in its nature, but has the ability to mix well with the unclean substances. So you apply the solvent on the spot and then use water to wash away everything, and the dirt is gone. But you haven't destroyed the dirt. It is only removed, transfered into the drain. The soap only remove the unclean but do not transform it. You become clean by replacing the dirt with something more pure (the soap) and then wash away everything with clean water which don't leave traces behind. The dirt itself is destroyed by the microorganisms and plants which use it as a food and really process it into a biomass - which is good and clean substance. For this process they use the energy of the Sun and the Earth.

Indeed I can not destroy evil, only I can replace it with good in my life. Evil can be transformed into good by certain organisms or creatures and they don't do it by fighting. Rather they absorb it and use it as a raw material for their development. With the help of the noble energies they process it into good things that are useful for others. If only I can consciously transfer the evil to the creatures that need it for their progress, I would be very happy. To this day I don't know how to do that...

Distinctive features of good and evil

Good and evil are the two paths from which I have to choose one. For me good is the thing I have to choose. It is the thing I'm facing, it's my future. Evil is the thing I come from, it's the direction that faces my back. Evil is the past, the initial point of my journey, the place where I started my independent moving. Evil is the old, the place where I have already been and it makes no sense to go back again. Good and evil are here to give directions in our lives. They are embedded in us as a compass with which we can verify our direction and are able to understand where exactly we are heading.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a powerful instrument for neutralizing the impact of evil.

To forgive a person for the evil he did to you is the only means to wipe out the true influence of this particular evil on you. The ultimate goal of evil is to make us act evil, to respond it with same ferocity, to ignite hostility. However deciding to forgive, you do neutralize it, disarm it, weaken it, make it meaningless. A scar will remain indeed, but your essence, substance wouldn't be changed at all - you will still be yourself. Yes, you will be a scratched diamond, but will still be a sining diamond and not muddy structureless mass which you will become if you choose to give up your way and start fighting the evil. Even if you suffer substantial damage at a physical/material level and the consequences are permanent, by choosing to forgive you obliterate the bondage, the chain which binds the things in this state. And your physical world will start a slow movement to a new state of harmony and equilibrium. You are once again free to move towards your goal. On a new way, because you were shifted off the initial way. When you have an objective and you are not anchored, there always is a way to this goal. Short or long, straight or curved, for the one determined to reach his goal there always is a road. He is is the road himself.

The only way for the evil to harm me is if I respond it. I am the answer. I can choose if the evil will knock me down or not. Jesus said that when He talked about turning the other cheek.
