when you question the presence of evil - service to self at the cost of others - you are really touching upon one of the big questions that get people to question the presence of any form for god, especially a loving god. its one of those great paradoxes that can only be solved by understanding that the level of pain and suffering that we experience on the physical plane is very real, but it is still an illusion in the greater picture. first we need to understand that death is an illusion because consciousness continues after we leave our body.

[reference to channelling removed per rules] the reason for duality in life is to enable us to experience the entire range of choices available to us. this again teaches us about the consequences of those choices, which again teaches us about love because love is all about giving the freedom of choice.

we do not have the perspectives to say that any person is "innocent" when they are "victims" of a crime of violence. who knows, maybe they are experiencing the other side of the coin and thereby creating wholeness through experience.

after all those years and after experiencing ra material, i can see that ra says the same thing - that third density is all about self discovery and choice. without duality we would never experience the necessity for growing out of violence and service to self at the cost of others.
hope that helps.
