Evil

1. Evil is a way of describing someone else's god/dess(es) or externalizing our own crummy qualities. Humans don't need Satan to lead them astray.
2. Evil is a concept more easily conveyed in fiction, i.e. in H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.
   1. The Iching speaks of the "superior" person, meaning the person who is true and strives for correctness and appropriateness.
   2. Evil and fantasy do not contain the truth of ourselve and is like a nightmare.
   3. Once the first lie is spoken and repeated, we begin to believe it and the other lies that we tell to support the original lie. Once a person starts believing in their fantasies, they are not in the truth of themselves. Psychosis is what happens once one begins to lie, one believes in the lie they believe in lots of lies to cover for the first lie. Living death is the result.
3. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil with its dichotomy as opposed to the balancing effect of The Tree of Life
