Immutability, good and evil

April 25, 2025 · By Curseur
The subject of immutability is always present and will always be so.

Since antiquity, a question has permeated human thought. It is attributed to Epicurus: if God wants to prevent evil and cannot, he is powerless; if he can but does not want to, he is indifferent. Many today reformulate it: why doesn't the Creator put an end to armed conflicts? Why, if he possesses such power, doesn't he stop the tornado or human suffering?

This question rests on a rarely examined premise: it assumes a God who acts, a God in our image, who decides, intervenes and reacts. But the answer remains clear: it is immutable. Immutability means non-action and non-reaction. The Creator undertakes nothing and responds to nothing. This is neither through impotence nor indifference: it is his very nature. Aristotle already sensed this when he spoke of a "first unmoved mover," the source of all movement without itself being moved.

If the Immutable does not act, who does? Action belongs exclusively to humankind, this ever-changing core at the heart of creation. Wars, injustices, and suffering arise from our thoughts and actions, and are then perpetuated by our mutable nature. To ask God to repair what humanity creates is to confuse the source with the act. Karma is not divine punishment: it is the very logic of action, which ultimately falls upon the one who performs it.

A second question then arises: why is the Creator immutable? An answer may emerge. This immutability would be the very source of his energy, his absolute purity. And it is conceivable that, when this purity experiences a flaw, universes are generated. Creation would therefore not be an act of will, but a fissure in the still. What exists before the Big Bang is identical to what exists within us: purity.

The paradox is then reversed. The Creator, having chosen humankind as his dwelling place, thinks through our thoughts and acts through our actions. To expect him to intervene from the outside is to look elsewhere for what dwells within oneself. The question is no longer "Why doesn't God act?", but "How can humanity act in the presence of the Immutable?".

Only those who are concerned with their inner integrity will be able to unite their consciousness with the divine presence and experience a direct encounter with the Immutable. The mind cannot grasp the divine: it is not understood, it is experienced. This is the solution.

Adopt Shabda (cosmic vibration) and Tejas (light oscillation).
