The Illusion of “Right” and “Wrong” “There is no holy life. There is no war between good and evil. There is no sin and no redemption. None of these things matter to the real you. But they matter hugely to the false you, the one who believes in the separate self. You have tried to take your separate self, with all its loneliness and anxiety and pride, to the door of enlightenment but it will never go through because it is a ghost” Deepak Chopra One of the final frontiers to conquer in the path to a spiritual awakening or enlightenment is the belief in the concept of right and wrong. This belief has such a stronghold on most of us, that to even fathom that there exists such a state of consciousness (one that transcends the illusion of right and wrong), is almost impossible for most to wrap their minds around. Therein lies the problem. Anytime the mind is involved in processing a situation, it must put its two cents in. It must name each situation as either “good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong”. These judgments are projections of our ego. The ego NEEDS to be right, so in order to be right, there MUST be a wrong. Therefore the ego spends the day making comparisons. It compares political parties, it compares religions, it compares parenting styles, it compares cultures, everything… The problem is that your ego, just like mine, just like everyone else’s on the planet is operating from the perspective that it is the “right” one… but with over 7 billion people living on the planet how are we to know who officially has the golden key to the “right” way to do everything? Is there really a being that exists that knows the “right” way? The “right” way to cook a steak, the “right” God to worship, the “right” nationality, the “right” culture, the “right” reason that killing people is justified? “People are doing the best they can from their own level of consciousness” Deepak Chopra
