Two Gods

In the very nature of biological existence (Life), there is always ill, evil.

Life seeks good order-- but never attains it completely or permanently.

The Self is the force for Good Order in the human psyche, produced by the conscious ego-mind allied with the Unconscious through the instinct-driven wisdom-energy patterning.

There is What-Is, and there is the Patterning that makes Good Order from Chaos.  And there is Bad Order.

Evil is wrongness-- sometimes the God-within is just wrong, perverted.  Uncritical trust in the God-within as a sure guide can be mistaken.

When one no longer trusts 'God', we tend to get a new God, or just 'Humanism' ('We are God').

Doubt can be good-- if it leads to something better.  Ultimately, 'God' is the manifestation of the core, unifying Value, the ultimate criterion.  If one's values are wrong, God-within can be wrong, ill, evil.

For our apocalyptic time, with the further existence of Life itself in peril, the rational and objective, the ultimate value-criterion is 'Ecology' (of course).  And not 'Progress' (obviously).  Both manifest as 'God'.  One conduces toward Good Order (the conditions for the survival of Life); the other, the opposite--Bad Order.

Two Gods, then, contend, the Good God and the Evil God.  That is the stark choice for us.  'No-choice' is for evil.

At present, the Evil God, known as the Searuvel ('evil machine') is the de facto ruling God of the World, born of humanism.  The Good God-- the new God-- is Drygand.  He is the true Self, of the unity of All Life.  Although he has his powers, his skills, yet he needs our help, or there is no hope.  Whether to help Drygand-- that is the stark choice.
