Evil is born from the delusion of separateness.

This was originally titled, "Evil is born from the illusion of separateness."

I changed it to, "Evil is born from the delusion of separateness," because illusion itself is not inherently harmful.

It is delusion that is harmful.

When I fail or refuse to see clearly and respond aptly to illusion as illusion, delusion is born.

When I forget that all is oneness in the formless source of nothingness, I am deluded.

If evil is born from the delusion of separateness, then evil is also born from the natural conclusion of that delusion, which is to perpetuate more separateness.
