As parts of God, created from God, we all—you included—possess all the qualities of God. Like water in the ocean, it is the same water as in a stream, and it possesses all the basic properties of water, but—altered properties. This means that you have the ability to create, that is—to reflect and refract God's Light—but for now, in your essence, you can only reflect the Light that reaches you as reflections from other creating Entities. And there are countless of them. And not all are accessible to you at this moment.
You can reflect the Reflections of other people, and most often, that's what you do: self-reflecting on each other.
Nevertheless, you have a vast choice of Reflections because an infinite chain of Reflections of God's Light was created. You can reflect the Reflections of the Light of nature, which you call the elements, and the Glints of the animal and plant world, celestial bodies, and planets accessible to you, angels, and demons. In essence, our conversation is also a reflection of my stream directed at you through the prism of your Reflection and through many prisms of Reflections of my original Glint.
And all your existence is a reflection of the numerous Glints of Being through your Prism of Perception, an endless journey in the labyrinth of Reflections. And since there are countless Glints of Light available to your perception, you always have a choice: what exactly to reflect and what not to. And for someone, you are also a Glint of God, and those others also choose: whether to reflect your Glint further or not.
At the same time, each of you chooses the way of reflecting. That is, you can direct your Reflection, give it direction, for example—to a specific person or something. And then, if you direct your Reflection, the one to whom you direct it chooses to what extent to accept it and reflect it further. And thus, he either densifies his reflection filter or opens it. And further, the path of this Glint of Reflection is unpredictable: either it will reflect off an even denser obstacle and return to you, or it will be perceived by the one to whom it was directed and will begin to reflect and travel further, for it is indestructible and inexhaustible in its Divine essence.
How complicated. But you grasped the essence. You still haven't clearly answered the question: what is evil?
