My main concerns about Leo's teaching of Enlightenment are connected with the Evil notion. Maybe I just need a clarification to more precisely understand what is the case. I understand that ego creates the need for Evil. Therefore, all the aggression and crime may come from ego desires. However I don't understand how murder or rape in it's all forms can be part of the same oneness. If you look at it as one then ego is also part of this one and that means that ego is also not evil. I can't agree on that because I certainly think that there is Evil. I just can't explain this in regards to Enlightenment teachings. Religion explains good and evil well. Why Enlightenment can't explain that. I certainly can't take the answer - everything is pointless... as legitimate. Because people killing each other is definitely something negative and terrible. Enlightenment however implies that there is no negativity at all...
