Occult perspectives on Good vs. Evil 👹🔨
I’ve been reading up on Crowley lately and the big take away is that occult perspective on good and evil is fascinating in the sense that it is far removed from our human attatchments. However if good and evil are just an illusion or mere guidelines in God and the devil’s game, and from a higher level a footnote in the scheme of our divinity — is it still important that we pick a side? Good or Evil? Light or Dark? Right or wrong?
Personally speaking, I’d say yes.

If you see suffering around you why not choose the greater impetus to service? Our eternal nature is in essence, the very substance of beauty and goodness. Why would we not want that in heaping spoonfuls for not just ourselves but everyone around us? Why would we not want to increase positive experiences for other beings?
In terms of our eternal nature, if someone acts like a cat and knocks our “glass of milk” off the “counter,” they can laugh and say it doesn’t matter. Because Nothing matters in the scheme of our eternal nature. This life is a stop on the road to eternity. Even if that milk getting spilt ends our entire progression and creation. They might say well if you were going to play the “game” of materia than you should have learned the rules.
The implied perspective behind a spiritual psychopath’s choice to do harm to someone is that the choice to act selfishly at a higher level depends on the perspective of the individuated consciousness. Honestly imo, this is where evil/ego is getting in the backdoor. If you have a degree of attainment and feel nothing matters, why tf is that being leveraged as an excuse to cross sacred boundaries and disrespect the divinity of another? Is there some implied service? Did they get a choice in the matter or did you coerce or violate them by absolving them of their freedom of choice? Or is it out of attachment to having a certain experience? Do you have detachment from the idea of wrong doing, but not your personal preferences around experience?
This world might very well all be illusory — a framework for us to understand eternity and create how we wish. But when we violate or harm from this perspective there still a seed of separation consciousness in there, operating from darkness and attachment, and interfering with genuine unity and expression of divinity. When you have a true experience divinity, there is nothing but awe, love, admiration, worship for someone whose divinity you have experienced. There is no wish to harm at all! A truly enlightened person will not ever choose their attachments over another’s existence. We don’t leverage the divinity of another or abuse another’s potential to serve our material attachments if we are coming from the perspective of our higher selves.
