    About this ebook

    Evil not only does not exist, yet rather it cannot exist!



    Are our concepts of Satan and God inaccurate? Have we mistakenly allowed an improper role of Satan and God into our lives? If Evil cannot exist, what role does God play?



    Some of you may call this blasphemous. Some of you may consider it thought provoking. Others may agree while others may disagree. In a first of its kind, Evil - a Concept in Crisis, should increase your understanding of the world and Universe we live in, by changing our perception towards Evil and the Almighty.

    Author

    Ernie Rohrbacher

    Ernie Rohrbacher MASC (NLP), EFT-ADV was born on the 18th September, 1968, in Sydney, Australia. He is currently studying a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Pure Mathematics & Statistics, at one of Australia’s well established Universities. Since the age of 19, he became interested in things esoteric. When he was 25, he entered the field of Personal Development. He is a Certified Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy™; holds a Diploma in Neuro Linguistic Programming, and has an Advanced Certifi cate in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). As you read this book, consider each point as a base or foundation, and as you begin to think about each idea, try to find a counter example. You’ll probably find that you cannot. If you believe that people are inherently partly evil, this book will prove otherwise. If you think that situations or circumstances are the result of evil, this book will prove differently. Given any situation, circumstance or incidence, which we could consider to be the result of evil, you’ll discover that each can be covered by one or more concepts from this book, showing that the motivating factor cannot be evil. Ultimately the goal of this book is for you to arrive at the same conclusion as the author – that Evil not only does not exist, yet rather that it cannot exist, as a core fundamental entity or underlying force. This then must make us question the very nature and structure of Satan, and hence….God. Are our ideas about Satan and God incorrect? To find out, this book is a must read!

      Evil - Ernie Rohrbacher

      INTRODUCTION

      Welcome. Evil – A Concept in Crisis was primarily written to dispel the myth that evil exists. Furthermore, this book will attempt to explain that evil cannot be real as a base, force, or foundation of existence, by challenging your thoughts, beliefs, and ideas.

      You will find philosophical, psychological, scientific, and other evidence to prove evil does not exist. It is intended to disrupt the traditional teachings of those who preach of, and about, evil. Ultimately, I trust this will assist you to become more aware of a greater and more genuine reality.

      As a result, this book could change your life. It could open your mind to a higher level of knowledge and understanding. I hope and anticipate that total personal responsibility will be the result, and gone will be the idea of being a victim. If everyone were to embrace the thoughts written here, I wonder what would become of lawyers and religion.

      A seemingly new level of spiritual development is emerging in the world. We, mankind, are constantly moving in the direction of increasing potential—we see this in our jobs, where we do more in less time; in academic, social, and scientific advancement; we hear about it in the sports arena, where a new record is set almost daily. This shift in new and improved ways of doing things has emphasized greater and deeper knowledge and understanding. Spiritually, we are beginning to realize our place and purpose in the universe. For thousands of years, certain eclectic patterns of thought believed in our inner world of intuition, knowledge, and oneness with the universe, and everything external to us was thought to be merely a projection from within ourselves, including things such as the universe itself. If you had a question relating to the outside world, the answer lay within.

      Currently, this idea is catching up, as modern scientific advances begin to validate ancient spiritual awareness. It looks like spirituality and science may even go out for a coffee and become friends. You know what they say: it always starts over a cup of coffee.

      Around 300 BC, the Greek philosopher Epicurus wrote:

      "Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

      Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

      Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

      Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"¹

      It may appear that what I am saying here is nothing new, yet the different ways of proving my point are unique. As you go through the book, you will find that the widely accepted structure and processes of God are completely incorrect. Once you discover the new ideas propounded here, you shall find that they are so vastly different from what is taught in the various religions, that there is no room for evil to exist, nor room for religion itself. By the end of reading this book and then remembering Epicurus’s quote above, you’ll probably find that his reasoning is based on current structures of God. Had Epicurus questioned whether the role and structure of God was accurate, I am certain he would have written something else instead. Could it be that this is why I am here?

      As you read this book, consider each point as a base or foundation, and, as you begin to think about each idea, try to find a counter-example. You’ll probably find you cannot. If you believe people are inherently partly evil, this book will prove otherwise. If you think situations or circumstances are the result of evil, this book will show you differently. Given any situation, circumstance, or incident that could be considered the result of evil, you’ll discover that each can be covered by one or more concepts, which shows that the motivating factor cannot be evil. Although not made apparent, there are connections between the three main evidence areas. As an example, one could debate that a person’s attitude (philosophical view) determines their behaviour (psychological view). Expanding to the scientific views, they could perceive themselves as one with all there is. The ultimate intention is for the reader to arrive at the same or
