One thing I must ask is, "Why did you make The Pilgrimage accessible to anyone online?" Don't you benefit more by just selling them and just advertising with previews, rather than actually putting up the entire book? p.s. I picked up writing myself because you have inspired me.

So it depends on the pole we are. "Plus" gives the feelings of happiness and joy; discoveries in Universe has no limit. Less" gives the feelings of sadness and culpability, while space srinks as darkens. One leads us to share, the other to keep. Night is really darker than day, but It is not disguised in sun. Sometimes soul has to be crossed by evil. Maybe in a sense to reach the good. Magic manifests in both, and gives us the gift to see how to transcend evil in good. And also, how both works together, whether they're opposite. Like this: good never comes for nothing, but to accompany and enlighten us as will. Also to reward us, all said and done. As for evil, it would come to destroy our plan, by forcing us to understand something we missed. Something, which has to be understood, and transmuted, or left. But does it always come to? I don't know at all. Whatever, the plus is to live in plus, not in less. Though I'm sure that if something is bloked to see somewhere, we would like to be in plus, we could not. We're not so free to use the pole we want, because we are skewered by both everyday, at each second. We're not especially always unconscious about it, but we're maybe not enough concentrated, when we are in bad feelings, and too perched when we are in good ones. I can remember the book helped me to recognize that evil brings good. And the best thing was to see it like this. :) Ok we lost all, but we have all: we can fight, think still, draw plans and re-built. Then to discover all was not for nothing, but for good. It said some men managed to live unconcerned, as Nature Balance. Thank You. In and out, Energy is as Good as bad: plus and less.

I can't tell you what is evil and what is not, only the power over everything (God, great Mother or as you wish) knows thus it's not up to us to judge others. And how I see the meaning behind? Good and Evil have the same face...yes...because sometime Evil thing must happen and few are lost, but other are saved. Or evil thing happens and it terrifies us but this example might help many others to open their eyes. They would be living in oblivion and their life would be gone without purpose (even they have never done anything bad) which is rather the face of Evil than of Good...and Evil thing helped them turn into action, which was not the face of Evil but Good from "other side"...as I say, we can't judge because we know nothing. What we can do is "open the book" before we judge according to its cover as Yajna wrote. And Agniezska wrote: Only time will tell.

That is, when what is perceived that evil occurs, it leaves in its wake a realization that change needs to take place - an empathic paradigm shift of sorts. When good happens, it is a perception that a positive evolutionary shift has happened.
