Every man who says frankly and fully what he
thinks is so far doing a public service. We should
be grateful to him for attacking most unsparingly
our most cherished opinions.John Stuart Mill
In this video, I want to discuss the nonduality deception, a concept heavily promoted in New Age circles and mainstream spirituality. This is the idea that there is no good or evil. Whenever someone presents a spiritual paradigm that doesn’t intuitively resonate with you, you have to ask: who does it benefit? Who benefits when people believe there is no good or evil?
I’ve previously discussed the deception of “merging with source,” which ties directly into this. The idea that you have to merge with source or become one with God sounds very much like a hive mind. While I’m not denying that everything is connected, this push toward oneness is a core part of the New Age nonduality deception. Ultimately, believing that good and evil don’t exist only benefits evil people. It promotes moral relativism—the false idea that your version of good and evil might differ from mine, and that we can simply live happily ever after with our differing versions.
The truth is that good and evil are objectively real. Just as we have an ocular sense to see colors or a sense of smell, we have a spiritual sense of right and wrong. We have a built-in BS meter that tells us when a spiritual teaching feels off. For instance, the New Age claim that Earth is a school where we must suffer to learn lessons, or that we must incarnate because our spirit guides told us to—none of that has ever resonated with me. My instincts immediately pushed back when I first encountered information about the reincarnation trap.
The nonduality claim that there is no good or evil is designed to get people to stand down. It encourages people to ignore evil and passively accept everything with a “wet lettuce” energy—to sit, meditate, sing Kumbaya, and think happy thoughts to magically shift to 5D. In a different way, Christianity promotes a similar passivity, telling followers to sit on their hands and do nothing about the wickedness in the world because Jesus is returning. “Wickedness” is a powerful and accurate word to describe the evil that exists today.
If anyone promotes nonduality and claims that good and evil are simply relative, recognize it as a false doctrine. The notion that “you have your truth and I have my truth” leads people away from objective reality. This deception allows evil to infiltrate societies, because wicked people benefit greatly when the masses don’t believe evil exists. If you buy into this doctrine, you ignore your own instincts, rendering you unable to spot or call out evil when you see it. Instead of recognizing it as wrong, it all becomes a blur. This benefits the usurpers who want you to believe we are all just chemicals or apes on a blue ball floating through space.
We should work to eliminate evil, not make peace with it by claiming both are sides of the same coin. Wicked people want us to accept everything passively as part of a hive-mind oneness. Talk of merging with “the light” is an immediate red flag. If a teacher—like [name redacted], who claims the horrible acts occurring in this world are “just an experience” or a lesson to learn—presents nonduality as the absence of good and evil, you should be highly skeptical. Good and evil do exist, and we must trust our innate spiritual instincts over false spiritual traditions.
