Beyond Good and evil. The nondualistic view of things

Some of you are hesitating to curse or to cast a spell; because you think that is
evil.
According the christian ethics which has occupied the ancient pagan world; there is two main forces in nature. the good and the evil. in the other hand according to the ancient traditions which are originate from the observation of the nature there is neither good nor evil.
For example according to "tao" all beings have their role in the balance of nature.
thats why the tao is a religion for the saint and the thieft.
The Hindu view:
according to hinduism the concepts of good and evil are only illusions.

“Good and evil of this world of duality are unreal,
are spoken of by words, and exist only in the mind.”
- Bhagavatam, XI, ch. XXII.
so the concept of good and evil is created only by the human society.
there is no good and evil.
worship impersonal Nature, which is neither "good" or "bad", and who knows neither love nor hatred. I worship Life;
savitri devi.
Zen view:
According to zen master ian henderson
"Good and evil. Right and wrong. Sinner and saved. Ally and enemy. Life today is defined by a series of oppositions, and society demands that we take sides"

the Zen is a non-dual tradition. you can consider zen as a religion, a philosophy, or simply a practice depending on your perspective. you can also describe it as a way of life, work, and an art form. Zen practitioners deny the usefulness of labels like good and evil, and they calling them ironically, "The finger pointing at the moon.

Christianity:
christianity in general is a dualistic religion.
but according to the teachings of Meister Eckhart, "A Course in Miracles or ACIM which is a modern day Christian non-dualistic teaching. , "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God."
"A Course in Miracles (also referred to as ACIM or the Course) written by Dr. Helen Schucman and Dr. William Thetford that describes a purely non-dualistic approach to spirituality."

Nondualism in the gnostic gospel of phillip:
"Light and Darkness, life and death, right and left, are brothers of one another. They are inseparable. Because of this neither are the good good, nor evil evil, nor is life life, nor death death. For this reason each one will dissolve into its earliest origin. But those who are exalted above the world are indissoluble, eternal."

The sufi way (islamic mysticism):
Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, (1207-1273), one of the most famous Sufi masters and poets, has written that what humans perceive as duality is in fact a veil, masking the reality of the Oneness of existence.
So for the sufis good and evil are only illusions.
"All desires, preferences, affections, and loves people have for all sorts of things," he writes, are veils. He continues: "When dies and passes beyond this world then sees the true nature of the universe and god without this 'veils,'

The wiccan view:
According to wicca and the western paganism there is no good or evil deities.
The wicca and paganism is the worshiping of the nature and in the nature there is neither good
neither evil. there is only the reality.
So it is your right to live with illusions created by the christianity.
Its your decision if you want to live with a dualistic philosophy which makes you unhappy. fills you with illusions and untrue limits.
but if you want the truth. just read this blog.
