The basis of evil is reality destruction. Lying is the most visible method; but the process of destroying reality is adapted to every situation.

Reality is an environment. Evil persons cannot accept an environment which proves them to be what they are. They need a pretense of reality which converts the environment of life into a toxic influence. As an environmental influence, the destructivity goes endlessly beyond any immediate purpose like a toxic gas.

What do they get out of it? Power. They can prevail over what they destroy.

After prevailing, evil must reconstruct a form of reality that is suitable to them. What they put in place of objective reality is infantile pretense. You pretend that you are the patient; and we will pretend that we are doctors. They don't know how much conflict with the rest of the world they create with their pretended reality, because objective reality doesn't exist for them.

Along with fake reality is the mode of operation that sustains it. That means reality control and social control. Control means living other persons' lives. Evil persons don't have lives of their own; so they live other peoples' lives. They become molesters in their habit of imposing themselves upon other persons.

Evil persons assume they own what they destroy. There is supposed to be an essence that remains after they destroy; so destroying is an improvement. The destruction of reality improves reality. The destruction of social structures improves the social structures. Improve means there is power remaining which can be more easily manipulated without objective reality getting in the way.

Psychologically Conditioning

Evil is psychologically conditioned in minds which lack the awareness needed to prevent it. Awareness prevents psychological conditioning and the evil which results from it.

Psychological conditioning creating reactive behavior is a repeated pattern of behavior which is activated upon an inducement called a stimulus. It is sometimes called stimulus-response behavior. It gets most extremely developed where there is a positive reinforcement. When developed in a controlled manner, such as animal training, with a positive reinforcement, such as food, the process is called "operant conditioning." In human life, positive reinforcements for the psychological conditioning of evil include the power that corrupters strive for.

Psychologically conditioned behavior starts as a choice being made in response to circumstances. Repetition creates a pattern without the choice being made, while the realities drift out of awareness. The pattern is set in motion as uncontrolled behavior when an inducement starts the reaction. Because of the inducement, called a stimulus, which can exist anyplace, the pattern gets played out under a variety of circumstance which are often quite dissimilar to the original circumstance which created the pattern of behavior. In this way, stimulus-response reactions become inappropriate for the circumstances to a point of being self-destructive.

Animals can be psychologically conditioned much more easily than humans because of their lower awareness level. Through operant conditioning, a chicken can be trained to peck at a spot until it kills itself. In a more abstract way, humans can be conditioned to destroy themselves through evil which is psychologically conditioned and does not benefit the persons.

Evil persons try to rationalize their psychologically conditioned behavior, which results in contrived reality for justifying evil. The combination of psychological conditioning and rationalizations for it create a corrupt standard of existence which is locked in place by reactive behavior below the level of awareness.

Psychological conditioning can occur in the spirit world as well as the human society. In fact, the evil goes back much farther in time in the spirit world than in the human society. So the worst evil has been developed in the spirit world and comes at humans through the spirit world. Evil persons who become psychologically condition in the spirit world enter the human society to be where the power is. So they are not just misguided humans. Human corruption is more limited than the evil which originates in the spirit world.
