Restore the ancient meanings of Good and Evil and change your life and world

Two of the most powerful words in the history of humans are “good” and “evil.” We hear them from infancy to death.

● People are punished when they do evil things and rewarded when they do good things.

● Leaders of nations at war with each other often justify the war and the loss of the lives of their warriors by declaring their cause as “fighting an evil enemy.”

In the last two World Wars – the leaders of America, Britain, France and Germany did that – and a vast majority of the citizens of the nations on opposite sides were Christians.

The English words “good” and “evil” are very subjective and may be used to justify about anything. In the ancient wisdom text we use at the TOV Center, which is written in Hebrew, the words are TOV (good) and RAH (evil). They are used to judge (measure) the actions of God and humans. Below are their contextual meanings:

 ● TOV (good) – actions that protect and preserve lives, make lives more functional and increase the quality of life.

● RAH (evil) – actions that destroy and threaten lives, make lives less functional and decrease the quality of lives.

The Creator created the Heavens, the Earth and all their hosts through seven acts of “TOV.” Adam did one act of RAH -- when he ate from the only tree in Garden in Eden that he was forbidden to eat – the fruit of the Tree of TOV and RAH. The Creator’s acts of TOV protected life, Adam’s act of RAH introduced death into the creation.

● The Creator’s seven acts of TOV created the things that are required for humans to survive and thrive – air, water, food, shelter, etc.

● Adam’s one act of RAH made humans mortals who would die at some point in the future, the first of which would be the second human ever born – his son Abel.

Restore the ancient meanings of “good” and “evil” to those words and when you hear someone using them to justify their actions, the actions of an organization or business, or the actions of a nation-- ask this question – What they want to do may be “good,” but is it “TOV”?          Lives 1st
