It is not possible to eliminate dissatisfaction/evil permanently from life, but it is possible to avoid it permanently. Let us take the example of the breathing of our lungs. We breathe because we would feel dissatisfaction in the form of suffocation if we were to not breathe, due to a lack of oxygen in our body. However, we do not feel suffocation because we learned how to breathe steadily, rhythmically in order not to suffocate – each time to inhale and exhale before suffocation may ensue. This way it is possible to avoid all evils and dissatisfactions in time, but only if we know the rules and laws according to which they alternately appear and act. This practically means that the existence of dissatisfaction and evil has no negative meaning for the existence of consciousness, but a positive one, because it takes care of its existence. It appears only when its existence is endangered in order to warn it of that endangerment and make it run away from it, and so by means of its permanent avoidance of evil, consciousness exists permanently.
This implies that dissatisfaction/evil appears only until the rules of good and evil are learned through experience; until the knowledge of good and evil is achieved. All the possible knowledges serve only that purpose: to learn how to avoid evil permanently, and realize and experience only good. It is the same with our lungs as they learned how to permanently breathe rhythmically and not suffocate.
The process of discernment of good and evil is a very slow developmental process, because, often, at the beginning of the development of any material form as a system of movement and work, many evils begin to develop assuming they have the meaning of good. Humanity as a conscious material form is still at a low level of development, and it is the best example of this. We will speak much more about this later under the title, “The Natural Value System”.
