Because we live in dualistic/Yin-yang world we can't comprehend that.

Man cannot evolve unless he recognises this.

And every one is awakening slowly to this reality.

Man's ego or knowledge of good/evil has also evolved over the years and interferes with man's awakening.

All religious writers has said this in metaphor beautifully. But fundamentalists and our abusive parents has taken those words literally and twisted it by their own fancies over the years.

I am so glad to see people like you posting such beautiful words

I agree, but I also think the non existance of right and wrong isn't definitive, because if you delibrately do something to harm yourself and someone else, in an ethical and/or moral sense, you've done something which the witness, person involved, and you (later on when you look back on it) would classify as wrong.

And also, the creation and/or use of nuclear weapons, its a weapon of mass destruction and is only used to destory, never to give life, so society would definitely classify that part of our reality as wrong, whether or not you experience it.

The development of your conscience is meant to make you aware of if an act is right or wrong without you experiencing it.

My beliefs are simple- all is connected, all is kin. Therefore to harm another is to harm yourself.

For the Universe there is no right and wrong. When the Universe chooses to experience all of creation simultaneously, It excepts experiencing all of it, from it's darkest depths to its highest heights to add to the sum of its being.

"And one of the elders of the city said, "Speak to us of Good and Evil."

And he answered:

Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil.

For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?

Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts, it drinks even of dead waters.

You are good when you are one with yourself.

Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil.

For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house.

And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.

You are good when you strive to give of yourself.

Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself.

For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast.

Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, "Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance."

For to the fruit giving is a need, as receiving is a need to the root.

You are good when you are fully awake in your speech,

Yet you are not evil when you sleep while your tongue staggers without purpose.

And even stumbling speech may strengthen a weak tongue.

You are good when you walk to your goal firmly and with bold steps.

Yet you are not evil when you go thither limping.

Even those who limp go not backward.

But you who are strong and swift, see that you do not limp before the lame, deeming it kindness.

You are good in countless ways, and you are not evil when you are not good,

You are only loitering and sluggard.

Pity that the stags cannot teach swiftness to the turtles.

In your longing for your giant self lies your goodness: and that longing is in all of you.

But in some of you that longing is a torrent rushing with might to the sea, carrying the secrets of the hillsides and the songs of the forest.

And in others it is a flat stream that loses itself in angles and bends and lingers before it reaches the shore.

But let not him who longs much say to him who longs little, "Wherefore are you slow and halting?"

For the truly good ask not the naked, "Where is your garment?" nor the houseless, "What has befallen your house?" "
