If good happens, good. If bad happens, good. A quote from Stephen Mitchell and the Tao Te Ching.

You know, it's funny.

It's funny that no one in your life has ever taught you what goodness is.

Isn't that amazing? None of your teachers, none of your professors, all your

fancy degrees and bachelor's degrees and master's degrees and PhDs and all these experts and all your physics and all

all your physics and all the scientists.

And still no one, no one can give you a simple explanation for what goodness is.

Well, here it is. You've come to the right place.

Even in many spiritual teachings, I noticed that they don't really talk about goodness.

They don't explain what it is.

And I think that's because many of these teachers simply aren't directly conscious of absolute good.

They may be awakened in various kinds of ways, but they're not

deeply conscious of the absolute good that is a facet of the ultimate awakening.

Which is why I think that a lot of times it's not talked about in many spiritual traditions of

in neo-advita teachings of certain kinds it's not talked about of course

in other teachings it is talked about so it varies

But uh in other teachings it is talked about so it varies.

But good is not merely just a human thing. It's not just a human quality and it's not just a human invention and it's not purely a relative thing

even though of course mostly when people talk about good and bad they're talking about

relative good and bad they're talking about the duality of good and bad.

This is not what I mean when I say goodness. When I say goodness, I'm talking about goodness with a

capital G. absolute good.
