To go back to the podcast and Alex's question about evil.
I didn't think the tension was that heavy. It sounds like Suzanne didn't like the use of the word "deflected", which I think she was right to because that's not what she was doing. She was being asked about questions and areas that 1) she didn't know enough about, and 2) for spiritual reasons she's not interested in. (And I felt inspired by what she said here to try and cultivate further an attitude where you expect benevolence from the universe - "when they go low, you go high!", although damn that didn't do much for Hillary did it? ;) :D - I'll try that because I think it might help me deal with my own issues.) After the introduction, I thought Alex was going to hammer into her for being complicit in 9/11 or something (!) - but it didn't go anywhere near there.
I thought there were interesting bits in the discussion beforehand too, like what does it say about us and our society today that we crave "evidence".
On the question of evil. I really don't know if there is evil in discarnate realms. I'm left wondering a bit what Alex is alluding to. "Can we avoid evil by not looking at it?" What do we mean here by evil? Is evil here used as just another word for harm by other people? Then, yeah, sometimes we can't avoid it because it can happen to us - or maybe not or to a very much lesser degree if we cultivate the sort of attitude Suzanne is.
I'm not versed enough in what Alex was referring to - Stargate, etc. - to understand exactly what he was referring to. If people use psi for "getting results", through remote viewing or whatever (or the PK Man, for example), for nefarious/dubious aims, that says something about the humans doing that, but not automatically about spiritual forces - specifically, entities - being involved. If the claim is that through remote viewing or another psi practice we encounter "entities" that are willing to help us achieve those results, even if evil, I guess I'm open to that possibility but don't immediately accept it unless I'm presented with irrefutable evidence. I'm thinking about the claim that, say, a remote viewer connects with spiritual entities that help him or her achieve a potentially harmful result for others. In that case, I'm not convinced that the remote viewer is not simply creating/manifesting, as the powerful-spiritual-being-that-he-or-she-is-but-incarnated-into-a-very-human-animal, his or her own reality where those entities are unconscious creations of his or her expanded consciousness.
