There are. And I appreciate that. I mean, even when I was born and raised in a rural community in northern Missouri here in the United States, we used to joke about this stuff. You know, we'd say, oh, good and evil. Yeah, there's a little devil that's about this big. He had the horns and red tail on this shoulder and the angel over here. And they're having this conversation.

But there is a fundamental battle between good and evil. And there are so many different ways between light and dark that... is expressed as good and evil. We live in a world of polarities. We're always gonna have the polarities, the light and the dark. Those polarities express in different ways. One of the ways they express is through what we call good and evil.

And there's so many different ways to approach this. One of the first times I became familiar with it was in my study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. And I'll just encapsulate this briefly. The scrolls were discovered in 1945, 46, 47, 11 caves, Qumran in Israel. And they were discovered in 45 through 46 primarily, but the information was not allowed to be released to the public until the early 90s.

It's 45 years. And you say, what could be the problem? What could possibly be in a 2,500-year-old scroll that would warrant the Vatican intervening and not allowing this information and legal proceedings and the money and the energy and the time? What could possibly be in there?

Well, the answer is, and you can't make this up, it was found in the first cave, cave number one, in the first vase that they found in cave number one when it was sealed. And the first scroll that they pulled out that was 19 columns that colloquially is called the War Scroll.

And the War Scroll, in the language of the Essenes, the mystical sect that appeared 500 years before the time of Jesus of Nazareth, The war scroll describes where we are right now. So it's ancient, but it's not obsolete. It's current. We are living what is called the battle between the sons of darkness and the sons of light.

And I said this at a live event a couple of weeks ago, and there's a woman in the audience that took offense because she felt it was sexist. And so I want to clarify, 2,500 years ago, they weren't dealing with gender issues that we are today. So sons of darkness and sons of light is all-inclusive, male and female. Okay, so I just want to clarify that.
