How Strong Is The Power Of Good

[Leon]

Which is stronger the power of goodness or the power of badness? It has been said before that some people mainly women, like a rogue, like a man who is bad. Why would badness attract people over goodness? Are these people deluded or is there some mysterious force behind the attraction? Or are people really more attracted to goodness, but it is more rare.

Hello Leon,

I believe goodness is stronger than "badness". I think that the only reason someone would prefer bad over good is if bad was mistaken for good somehow. Also, what defines a rogue in this case? I'm going to go with the definition I think you mean. I've observed that with certain women who like "bad boys", they've often been taught from childhood that negative qualities, like being a philanderer, are positive (subconsciously, of course) because they suggest sociability. I do think it's a form of delusion. On a broader scale, I think society actively promotes the idea that being "bad" is more fun. The kind of behavior from celebrities and others in the spotlight, to put it mildly, is quite reckless. I feel like popular art helps shape and dictates the behavior of the general public. My reason, for thinking this, is because I've observed that within different communities, what women find desirable is drastically different, that's because they have exposure to different environmental influences, and different media. The "bad boy" syndrome is not exactly universal.

Back to your question, I think that it has to do with desire. I think that the types of things we desire reveal where we are spiritually. I think that for the majority of people, unfortunately, society dictates what their desires should be. I feel like desires can be redirected to what's most beneficial for you, spiritually and otherwise.

EDIT: So, I was thinking more about the question and I think there's a possibility that it may have something to do with duality. It's a common belief that both good and evil dwell in us, I just believe that the side that expresses itself the most has something to do with which half is nurtured more. I am curious about your personal definition of a "rogue"? I find that more often people (both men and women) are drawn to other people who are "good" with a "bad" side, if that makes sense. Perhaps, they interpret as a sign of balance.

The correct answer is D, all of the above. To understand totally is to understand totality. Nothing is separate, although it seems to be. There is a law of the mind that need be understood. What you "do" attest to what you "believe."

All these anomalies stem from the "belief" in good and evil. This leads to miscreation and a "belief" in lack and deprivation. Sin is an egocentric attempt at joy. This is what the ego will offer you for your allegiance. When you stop doing what you "want" to do, you feel deprived. To be in opposition is to have an up-side down perception. In this dualistic state you "believe" bondage is freedom. The ego, or who you think you are, is wanton, and in conflict with what is true. This sets the stage for projection.

Projection is a tool of the ego to see the conflict outside itself. He who is in a constant state of crisis management has little time to be aware of their own miscreations. These types are typically sexually attractive. He can become addicted to physical desires to the point that he denies the law of "cause and effect."

The "ego" or what is in opposition to God was referred to in the Bible as the devil. We are of one "Mind." This is not symbolic. It is a fact. We all hear the same two voices while we are in conflict. My body will hear the same two voice you do. One is the voice of the Holy Spirit, you did not make it. It was placed there to act as a guide and teacher by God and you cannot eradicate it. The second voice is that of the ego, or devil, you did make this one so you can. As long as you hear two voices you are in conflict.

The voice of deception will speak through the media. Its goal is to continue the separation by promoting opposition. It is the same voice we hear on a personal level.

The only life the ego or devil will ever have is borrowed from your eternity. To maintain itself it will offer you distraction and sin. Only what is true can satisfy a child of God. That is why when you achieve this thing the voice of deception said would make you happy, you are not happy.

Those that attempt a spiritual journey must understand the ego cannot go with you. Only what is real can be in the Kingdom. Body impulses are misdirected Miracle impulses. Sin is an attempt to supply a lack of love or God.

As long as You "want" to be separate, the illusion and conflict will continue. Both voices stem from the same 'mind" so they are endowed with equal power, but only in time. Time is a tool built into the development of Gods Children and will end when it is no longer needed.
