On the Nature of Evil in the Modern Soul
Abstract
This chapter investigates evil as a psychological and spiritual phenomenon rather than merely a moral category. It explores how evil manifests through dissociation, projection, and collective shadow dynamics. This chapter invites readers to face evil within and without as a call to deeper self-examination and relational responsibility, challenging simplistic notions of “good” versus “bad.”
