Evil — Human Factors — YouTube from the CEC Library

"Human Factors: evil." All one has to do is turn on the TV to see what the world is really like and how people express themselves. Programs and movies with a high emotional charge and violence are common because they capture people's attention. This relentless pursuit of intense emotions distracts us from reflecting on our lives. Society is not truly seeking peace; we talk about it, but our actions contradict our words. The level of maturity on the planet is low, and we frequently act violently and selfishly, prioritizing our convenience. Music, for example, has lost its poetry and is laden with tension, reflecting the noisy environment of large cities, where we spend the day exposed to 80 or 90 decibels.

This constant exposure to intense stimuli makes us irritated and angry without realizing it. Repetitive music, played at very high volume, keeps us at the same chakra frequency, without poetry or reflection. We are closer to anger and hatred than to love. Love is a ten, hatred is zero, and evil is rated zero or one. Spiritual maturity is at low levels, and all that remains are our guilt and fears, which temper our violence.

Fear is used explicitly and implicitly all around us, guiding our actions. Things are rarely done with enlightenment and common sense; they are done to frighten us. When evil reaches the level of perversion, it becomes a serious problem. Emotional difficulties can be treated, but perversity is different because it involves taking pleasure in doing evil.

It is important to analyze our actions so that we do not waste the chance to improve our lives. We live under a constant bombardment of enemies we create, and the solution seems to be to destroy them, even without knowing who they are. We often even invoke God to justify these actions. In a composition I wrote while I was with Jorge Vercillo, I reflected on how people blinded by war kill children, women, and the elderly while believing they are doing good.

We cannot deceive everyone forever. Suffering is evident in movies and in reality, with people in rags and starving. We need to move beyond this state of evil, which is already perverse. The idea of defending one people by subjugating another is absurd because Earth is everyone's home. Power corrupts, and few have the maturity to act for the common good. I remember Gandhi, who lived simply and made his own clothes, without seeking power. In the end, all of us will have to surrender our bodies, and it would be good for that to happen with dignity, not because of ignorance. Evil arises among human beings, generating wars and destruction, rooted in fear. Our ignorance makes us worse rather than better, and we are not promoting beauty or happy relationships.

The scenes of love we see are superficial, without true substance. We need to stop and reflect on who we are and what we can do for ourselves and others. Spiritually, evil is even worse. Spiritual experiences show that primitive consciousnesses can interfere, but perverse evil cools environments and consumes energy, unlike spiritual helpers, who balance the environment.

I had an experience with a person accompanied by a negative spiritual figure that made her feel unwell. This presence drained energy from the environment, showing how destructive evil can be. She experienced chills throughout her body, followed by a sense of well-being. Then she became cold again and felt well once more. She also had episodes described as “conversion hysteria.”

She would withdraw into herself. From time to time, this happened, and it was possible to perceive that the situation was complicated. She consulted doctors, but they did not identify a physical cause. How could doctors find something that had not yet manifested in the physical body? It may eventually manifest, but it is not there yet. When she came to me, I saw a horrible figure beside her. These entities never come alone because evil travels in groups. Evolved consciousnesses are individual and independent. They do not enter into confrontation; they merely stabilize the environment. When the energy is negative, it cools the environment, and everyone begins to feel pain: headaches, back pain, cramps. The pain may not arise immediately, but appears later. This is evil.

If we do not take care of ourselves and do not adopt worthwhile behaviors, we will encounter evil. Do not think that losing the physical body resolves everything through a few prayers and requests for forgiveness. It does not work that way. We are the product of everything we think, do, and add to our hearts every day. I think about this a great deal because I believe that, even if the physical body is not very healthy, as a consciousness one must be very well. This is essential for the happiness of what we are, what we seek, and what we propose for ourselves and others. Evil is destructive. It only causes disorganization, destruction, negative thoughts, unhappiness, and constant dissatisfaction. The person can never resolve their issues and faces difficulties in every possible area.
