Good mental exercise, not trying to argue with you. I don’t wish to strike any nerves
Yes, yes. I agree, and thank you. We are both sincere in the quest I can see that.
How would you know if you’re not misunderstood? I don’t mind if you superimpose ideas on it such as all garbage indirectly came from something of Pure Goodness. That doesn’t seem very sensible to me though, that any vile or darkness or ignorance can be born of Pure Goodness, Pure Awareness.
No, again you are missing my point.
The garbage did not come from Pure Goodness - which is the first subtle effect of the cause.
It came from the Material Nature associated with Ultimate Substratum of Existence, but because high levels of passion+ignorance (2nd and 3rd fundamental properties of nature) in the ratios of a few created beings.
If you know of any basic basic fundamental properties of nature apart from
(i) Pure Goodness
(ii) Pure Passion
(iii) Pure Ignorance, lithargy, inertia
Let me know. What happens is , an Nth degree derivative of mixtures of the 3 original properties of nature , when (ii) mixed with (iii) and 2+3 mixed with 3 and so on, becomes really high, that causes demons.
You have not answered my question though : Hypothetically, if you were to depend on "a" Source of Pure Goodness, why is it that this Source of Pure Goodness can't or won't stop demons from existing?
Why doesn't God stop demons from coming into existence?
VishNu destroys demons when they cross limits, but why doesn't He stop or prevent their existence in the first place?
Are God or VishNu not Sources of Pure Goodness? Then why?

While I wait for your answer, here is my understanding:
The reason is that they allow Nature to BE. Mother Nature. Fundamentals of manifested existence.
Energy -- Matter. Dynamic -- Static.
The most inert inanimate matter that cannot move, has the proper of 100% tamas, i.e. 100% lithargy. It cannot move.
Without this property, solid state of matter cannot appear.
Same 2nd and 3rd fundamental property of material nature also invades minds. Now that we have appeared in human bodies here, this is our best chance to learn, and transcend - first the tamas, then rajas, and finally sattva also - as we leave the body. We have to get beyond the 3 modes of material nature to let Brahman' shine.
I don’t consider myself any label. But if I read texts attributed to Jesus, I’d read Jesus (if words attributed accurately to) speaking of 2 different Fathers(Sources.)
For a moment if we say there are N different Fathers, as long as they are of Pure Goodness (vishuddha sattva), then my question above remains. Why did not the best of the Pue Goodness Fathers prevent demons from existing?
