There is a genuine battle – the force of truth and the force of arrogance – truth is that a. there is a single all-encompassing Being from which all others have emanated – this emanation was out of love, hence a. we have freedom of choice (though not of consequence, for simultaneously, for things to be fair = karma – what you give you will get; exists) b. the opportunity to rise beyond the selfish side, beyond anger, beyond selfishness, beyond lust, beyond the desire for recognition – all from the dark side; exists.
