I don't perceive, from my end anyway, that you have nailed down a distinction between what you call "true good" and consensus reality good. You mention Jesus, MLK jr, earlier you held up Ghandi as an example of a polarized lightworker.

Lets take Ghandi. Ok, so Ghandi represents True Good. Ghandi reprsented independance for India. I don't if that is "True" good. It was good for India. But I mean all countries have their interests, in terms of their country. You can look at countries, States, as individual actors in competition with one another for power.

So according to your perspective does that mean the British Empire represented "True evil"? Everything the British did was evil? The fact that people in India that speak English now, can be a force in Global commerce is evil? They would have been better equipped to thrive in the global economy had they never been colonized?

They would have been better off with this caste system and widows being burned alive and all that crap?

I think its all subjective.

I think rather than there being a "True good" and a "True evil" I think it is more likely that there are all these diverse forces competing with each other for supremacy and through that struggle good emerges and progress happens.

Its a dialectic type of thing. Thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis.

There are polarities but I think these polarities are not constant and static but dynamic and they emerge differently depending on the situation.
