AKEM-MANŌ, THE EVIL MIND

A symbol of the lower principle, the obverse of the Higher; its seat is in the desire-mind.

"In the beginning there were twin spirits. The One who produced the reality is called Vohu-mano, the 'good mind,' the other, through whom the non-reality' originated, bears the name Akem-manō, the evil mind." " - HAUG, Essays, etc., p. 303.

Manifestation implies duality of consciousness, and the two selves are aspects of That which appears to be continually striving together in itself. There is apparent conflict and recognition of contraries. It is, however, as the contraries are perceived to be not in reality opposites to, but mutually helpful of the other, that the Christ's reign may be said to begin.

And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose." - ROM. viii. 28.
