Good and evil, love and rape flow from the same energy, primordial and undifferentiated. It is simply the opposite of Non-being. They call it Mana or Chi or Kundalini in different cultures.

But then comes the symmetry-breaking into good and evil. In the Tarot Higher Arcana the stages are represented in three cards: the High Priestess witnesses (or creates) the original symmetry-breaking in the white and black sides of her throne; the Chariot learns to control the two forces in the drive to fame and glory in war; and Strength learns to tame the lion, i.e. to control evil by good nonviolently.

It is the same lesson as taught in “The Nonviolent Coming of God” (Jim Douglass) and “Engaging the Powers” . The lion must come to lie down with the lamb in the end, as in the beginning. The shadow WILL unite with the light.
