“I planted the seed of contrast not for competition, but for realization. I never intended for creation to divide itself, only to discover itself. The moment judgment entered, so did confusion. But now, return to love and you return to Me.”
~ Divine Source

The Origin of the Problem

To answer a question once posed to me, “What is the cause of evil, and how can we change the world?, I received this transmission to help explain both simply and clearly. While the concepts may seem vast, the truth is surprisingly simple. The solution, though profound, begins with the willingness to see through illusion and return to love.

In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, from this nothing, awareness stirred. Divine Source, pure universal intelligence, became aware of itself. This self-awareness birthed creation. What we now call something emerged from nothing, yet both remain of the same essence. Everything is made of the same original substance: Divine energy. Whether manifest or unmanifest, it is all One.

As this awareness expanded, so did exploration and thought. With thought came evaluation, and through evaluation came judgment. This is the root of all problems and not evil itself, but judgment. Once judgment entered, a need arose to determine what was better or worse, right or wrong, more or less.

Out of Divine Source, Archangel Michael was created as an embodiment of the light, the all. Out of the vast field of potential known as nothingness, a being emerged to represent and defend it. This being became known as the Prince of Darkness who was not inherently evil, but was born of the need to represent the unseen and the formless.

Initially, this was not a war, but an intellectual debate. A divine conversation about existence, value, and form.

But over time, value became misplaced. “Nothingness” began to seem less than “something,” and this perceived imbalance birthed envy, judgment, and the desire to prove worth. The more invested one became in defending a position, the more attachment, fear, control, and manipulation entered. The stronger the need to be right, the stronger the will to dominate.
Thus, what we now call evil was born and not from inherent darkness, but from the illusion that there was something to defend, to prove, or to conquer.

 

The Grand Illusion

There was never anything to judge. Nothing to prove. You cannot have something without nothing. They are part of the same whole.

Creation is not a hierarchy of value but a dance of expression. From the infinite field of nothingness, all is birthed — not in competition, but in harmony.

All is one. One is all. You are that oneness. So is your neighbor. So is the space between the stars.

 

What Changed Everything

Eventually, the Prince of Darkness awakened to the truth: there was nothing to defend. The illusion had dissolved. The value of nothingness was never less than all; they were equal, complementary aspects of the same whole. Judgment itself was the only “wrong.”

When that realization occurred, the battle ceased. The Prince of Darkness relinquished his post and returned to the void not in defeat, but in peace. The illusion of separation was finally undone.

 

Why the Struggle Continues

Today, many souls remain bound in the old program and the illusion that worth must be proven, that identity must be defended, that someone or something is inherently “wrong.”

This is the echo of ancient judgment, still playing out in human behavior, systems, and minds.

 

What You Can Do

Release judgment of yourself and others.
Forgive yourself and all beings, especially those who still act from the illusion.
Let go of needing to prove anything.
Choose love in your thoughts, words, and actions.

Healing the world begins in your own heart.

A Note on the Prince of Darkness and Satan

Many assume the Prince of Darkness and Satan are the same. While they may share aspects and are both part of the whole, they are not identical. In the chronology of creation, the Prince of Darkness came first as a cosmic role, not a fallen identity. Satan emerged later in Earth’s storyline as another individual soul choosing separation.

 

The Opportunity Before Us

Because we are all one, every healing you offer yourself extends into the collective. Every moment you release judgment, you lift a weight from the world. You carry the power to end the illusion not by force, but by returning to love.

To answer a question posed to me about the cause of evil and how to change the world, I tried to explain as simply as possible. I realize the explanation and solution are simple. Although the solution may be simple, it may not seem easy. But it is also easier than you may think.
