God did not create evil as an absolute force, but set in motion a universe of duality in which each soul moves either toward divine harmony or farther into separation and suffering. Good and evil are understood spiritually as directions of consciousness: whatever draws us closer to our Source is good, and whatever deepens ego, ignorance, and disharmony is evil. The path of liberation lies in practicing God’s presence, surrendering the ego, and attuning our energy, will, and awareness to the divine center within.
