Where Suffering Is, Good Cannot Be

In this episode of the Hall of Mysteries, Aba Al-Sadiq continues his exploration of the writings attributed to the unknown prophet Hermes — the same figure many traditions identify with Enoch. These ancient texts reveal a vision of reality that modern thought has forgotten, yet every prophet and sage once understood. This lecture uncovers why the ancients insisted that true Goodness cannot be found in this world, why suffering is woven into the fabric of creation, and what this means for a soul seeking purification. Through Hermes’ hidden wisdom, Aba Al-Sadiq exposes the structure of the world we live in — and the path that leads beyond it.
