Quite true, in a perspective. I understand.
However, the approach I encompassed was one
not particularly of either Christian or Islamic preference. I made this one purely on both experience, intuition, and my own beliefs. From what I have learned from various schools of thought regarding celestial beings, there is a certain ambivalence that supercedes even the highest levels of human understanding. The closest way to attribute this is meditation on a Zen-Taoist blend of meditative gnosis. From there, all notions of "good" or "evil" seem to transcend all moral code, to a dynamic that no longer identifies a "what," but a "how."
Thus, it is my belief that the nature of what is of heaven/celestial/angelic/creation/divine/the absolute (please keep note that I used a clustered abstract to best pinpoint my implied connotations) is to "do what must be done" for the sake of the continuity of existence and transcendent reality. Justly so in accordance with this dynamic, demons or "evil" would be defined as "against that which is divine," or in this case, "that which is against existence," or for clarification's sake, "to not do what must be done." This plays along the idea of pointing out the deadly sin of "sloth."
Seeing as how, in this perspective, that existence is what IS (reference to Biblical answer of asking God's name; "I AM WHO AM/I AM/I am that which IS") it represents the truth, of which is still being sought by humankind. There is no real lie or truth, but a lie to a direction and a truth to BE in the present and in balance. When one is centered, all things are possible, all directions may be viewed with their contexts as well, they exist in the present, and there is nothing that is impossible. To go up when one is going down is a lie. to go left when going right does not seem feasible. But, when centered in a microcosmic parallel to the universe, existence, and the statement of "I AM" itself, all is possible, hence the basic belief that under guidance of the heavens, all things are possible.
Another bit that contributed to my conclusion was the chakras and their esoteric signifigances. The root speaks of what "is," and one step up is the reasoning of the sacrum, of "what goes." Further up from this is the plexus which may signify "I think/what thinks/there is thinking/I think therefore
I AM." In this sense, it is easy to find out the "what," of good and evil, but when taken to a higher level of dynamic, the "how it works," we may soon transcend all things, and find out the great divine mystery of "why" (signified by the esoteric dominion of the Crown chakra).
Even so, when one has ascended this, it is to be found in but a sphere in itself, a "jacob's ladder," if you will, where the sephiroth and the Chakral queue all coalesce into but a new singular sphere and or chakra. After finding the why, you figure the "what," thus starting the dynamic all over again, but on a level much transcended from where once was before. Speaking with the terms of the esoteric dynamic of the sacral chakra, the "how," I now define that the "divine/heaven/God/good/existence" is but a direction, and the destination can never be sought nor pinpointed, as the greek philosopher Xeno had related (the Eternal Midpoint Paradox).
THIS is how
I define what is good or evil in my world. Summing it up, what is divine and good goes in accordance with this dynamic, and thus, being in the understanding of the -how-, move towards existence by doing what must be done to uphold existence and it's order. Abstractly, it is also divine to stoke the fires of chaos, just as a blacksmith may adjust his furnace, so that his works and implementations may be brought forth from his soul, and into existence. BOTH factor into each other, as order and chaos.
But, all things considered, and the fact that I am ONLY human, it's just a theory anyways. But hey! It works for me! (IMG:
