You misunderstood me. I meant there could be many realms in the spiritual world. Why choose these two?
Have you heard of the phrase cognitive dissonance? If one holds to two different views, eventually one must give way to the other. Personal integrity is paramount. People don’t like having to deal with contradictions in their lives, when it comes to ethical and moral issues.
Evil and good are contradictory. Plain and simple.
If one is evil, they’ll continue to choose evil until they meet their personal integrity in evil. Holding on to any good, is just contradictory to their personal integrity.
If one is good, they’ll continue to choose good until they meet their personal integrity in good.
Holding on to any evil , is just contradictory to their personal integrity.
There is no other choice. Either we choose good or evil, and then move on from there along either path.
The “gray area” where people have both good and evil - that’s cognitive dissonance and a lack of integrity. This is where we are here on life, we must choose one side, and we can’t play on both teams. We must choose.
If we can “choose” to be on both teams, then we have no choice. There is no choice. There is no integrity.
Imagine you’re working for a company doing evil (let’s say the Umbrella corporation of “Resident Evil”), but you must feed your family and look the other way to keep your job.
The company is making a virus that is capable of wiping out the entire human race (in the movie series “Resident Evil”, it does wipe out humanity). In the high paying position you’re in, you have access to all the company’s records and could easily leak them to the authorities (and Wikileaks as well) to warn the public.
How long would you work there before you blow the whistle and risk unemployment and possibly being blacklisted in your profession and never being able to work again? How would you feel during the time you didn’t make a choice to do good or stay evil? You’d feel conflicted, you’d feel like you can’t keep this up. This is not right, I must do something. Either I must accept the evil the company does, or I must fight back against this evil and expose the truth to the public and warn them. There is no middle ground here.
We will always have the choice between good and evil in life.
If not, we will have the choice between a greater good and a lesser good. But if we choose the lesser good, then the next choice will be lesser good versus even lesser good. Then even lesser good and a small evil. Then a small evil and a larger evil. And so on and so on, until we become very evil.
Or we go in the other way. We choose a greater good and an even greater good. Or a greater, greater good and a greater good. And so on until we become very good.
Choose your team wisely.
