perceptions of the world"... i believe that we can choose to NOT be 'driven
by perceptions'. if our motivations are our motivations, we get to choose
them, they are not provided for us by some computer programmer; we are
not robots.
"[God doesn't judge evil] because he knows it is only an illusion or misunderstanding
by the human mind that will be healed in time." with respect, i perceive you as
attempting to delay that healing process. for the healing to occur in time means
that it is accomplished within the framework of time... not at some point beyond time
(where such a healing is not needed). the moment of time which meets with eternity
is now; it's always now [not some later date].

In some ways our mind is like a computer program that has been written when we are young and unaware of our 'self'. We respond automatically based on decisions and learning that were formed at a very young age and the responses, despite our consciously wanting to chose a loving response may still be reactionary. If we are nurtured well as a baby we are more likely to be very trusting people as adults. If we weren't we will very likely be more cautious and defensive. The world is or isn't safe based on early experience. It is also why addicts find it so hard to stay sober. They want to but something is driving the need to self medicate. Some thought they are not clear on that hurts too much to face. Many abusive people are truly remorseful that they hurt their loved ones but in the heat of the moment their painful thoughts and feelings get the better of them. If we don't know what that thought or belief is, things like we are worthless, we are incompetent, we are bad, the world is out to get us so we need to strike first, people are the enemy, we need to win at life. All those beliefs point towards a defensive nature and one that can be challenged when someone triggers us to feel those things, that we are bad, to blame, wrong, incompetent, a loser. We then have to fight to make it not so and in the process we wind up off loading our painful beliefs onto others. That pain gets released on the ones we feel safe releasing to. As an example, if a person is raised by someone who is always blaming them for everything under the sun they may grow up resenting any implication that they are at fault. Just give a whiff of accusation that they did something wrong can send them into a tailspin. The comment may have been innocent and not even intended to blame but the person takes it as blame and flies off the handle. There is a trigger, whether it from the person being attacked or from another source that they then use as fuel to attack someone they see as a safe target later on. The point being, if people felt loved, appreciated and worthy in their beliefs they would have no need to hurt another.

Time is a human construct. The purpose of time is to give our experience context. There is a great quote by Franz Kafka that pretty much sums it up for me. The meaning of life is that it stops. Yes, the healing happens within this world of time because that is where 'evil' stays. If we don't accomplish it one life, we pick up where we left off the next. But for this life to have impact, for the negative behavior to be so intensely powerful as to be seen as 'evil' there needs to be something to lose because of it so time was created to give the illusion that things are life or death, there is an end point otherwise we would view everything in life from our soul perspective. Nothing is really the end of the world because we are eternal beings made from love. But that also means we lose the motivation to try and strive to work towards something better because there is nothing pressing that needs to happen right now. We created a world with time related consequences because there really aren't any in the after life. But our soul knows we have as many lives as we need to learn the true lesson of human life. I can't personally say what that is but I know time is a valuable component that gives this place gravity, no pun intended, and impact.
