Destruction

It is amazing that any two people can agree on a single idea with their own unique differences. Both persons have their own cells with unique mutations that constantly are dieing and being replaced in complex biological processes. It is impossible for two people to share the same experiences throughout their lifetime and it is unlikely that they will perceive the same event in the same way.

Through abstraction people are able to make simpler concepts from their experiences so that two people may share similar concepts despite completely different experiences. The movement of people towards a common understanding of their existence is evidence of creation's (God's image's) natural tendency towards oneness (despite the fragmentation of evil).

Disturbing creation in a way that alters its movement towards oneness can create backlash. The backlash has been called Karma in the past and helps to explain why societies can remain cohesive despite the differences within individual people. Based on its nature, Karma must exist within time and must be created based on the interaction of individual wills within creation (God's image).

Many societies avoid occult teachings and that tendency is meant to prevent disturbing creation. Occult activities often aim to impose a person's will over creation in some way and runs contrary to humility. An occult magician described a backlash from occult activities as "a hibernating bear that scratches an itch without waking up". Such backlashes that occur are not profound, but merely convey a movement away from the oneness of God's image, towards the fragmentation exterior to it.

When creation is disturbed it is often the case that the backlash reaction is perceived as being not as strong as the original action. Karma can be criticized for not having equal reactions for all negative actions. However, the lack of force in the reaction shows how large and cohesive creation (God's image) really is, despite its previous (i.e., previous to the action) fragmentation. Part of creation's stability can be perceived when an evil action does not create an absolutely evil effect, but instead also creates good effects. Evil, in essence, is tending towards non-being ("God is not the author of evil, because He is not the cause of tending to non-being" Augustine of Hippo), and in that sense evil is fatally flawed. To explain that good effects can come from evil actions, Augustine of Hippo's says "Since God is the highest good, He would not allow any evil to exist in His works, unless His omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil" (i.e., God is growing through active purification).

With fragmentation (evil) in God's image (creation) the movement towards oneness is never stopped but does seem to be changed in very small ways. That complex process by which creation (God's image) changes can be seen as God growing since it makes sense both in the microcosm and the macrocosm. So any "evil" actions that might cause destruction are actually just opportunities for a rebirth and this dichotomy has been represented by the essence of Shiva. Despite our biological existence that is always in a state of decay, we can actively create oneness as our perception changes.
