Day 89: The One and Only

170:22 - 172:22

The idea of these two pages is causation. What is the cause? Is man physical? Physical and spiritual?

The section I marked is

The fundamental error lies in the supposition that man is a material outgrowth and that the cognizance of good or evil, which he has through the bodily senses, constitutes his happiness or misery.

This made me think of the beginning/only idea by saying the 'fundamental error.'

I've never given evil much thought as a real idea or power but I've noticed it keeps coming up in movies, books, news. He's evil. Their evil. That's evil. It's so easy to be persuaded that God, good, Love doesn't exist in one person, or place. And if he doesn't exist there, maybe he doesn't exist here.
