I disagree with this. Evil exists in all minds and all hearts. I'm not a pure soul that can be "corrupted" by external evil. My own shadow is as evil as anyone's because I am not separate from the world, and that means all the evil that exists "out there" exists "in here" too. Likewise with all the good.

I think a better way to deal with evil, is to look at it steadily, understand it, recognise it in yourself, and then make a conscious decision not to act on it. I think the reason why we can't solve evil in society is because we want to deny it, we don't want to empathise with it, because it requires acknowledging our own shadow and our own capacity for evil.

But if you do make peace with your own shadow (which does not mean doing evil deeds, but recognising the part of you that wants to do evil deeds, that takes pleasure in darkness), you can then help others with their shadow. Everyone has the capacity for evil in them. You do. I do. A serial killer does. Vladimir Putin does. Donald Trump does. The noblest philanthropist does. But all the evidence shows the most effective way to "fight" evil is by rehabilitating people who do evil deeds.

Also, my experience of mysticism has taught me that we are of God AND we are God. That's what the story of Jesus is all about. He's the son of God, and he is God. It's not a contradiction. Same with the Hindu stories - incarnations of the gods are "of god" and are God simultaneously.

In pantheism, all is God. The feeling of "I am" is God. But that means that in a real sense, all are God. "I am God". One particular nexus of how God manifests and experiences. And so are you. You are of God, and you are God. Both are true. For everyone and everything.

There's nothing that says Gods can't bleed and die except monotheistic religions that define God as singular, omnipotent, and beyond the physical. If God is everything, and all life, and all death, then yes, God is bleeding and dying constantly and being reborn in new avatars, infinitely, across the galaxy.

This is my perspective based on pantheism. I think perhaps your perspective is panentheism which I respect, but I don't agree. :P
