Are we stuck in this place forever? Am I dreaming when I look for such hope?

STUCK !
In order to be "set free" one must reconcile "good" and "evil" as "one complete thing". At that point, nothing is "good" and nothing is "evil"........ all things then just "Are".

An example is a car battery. There are two terminals, one positive, one negative. When either one of these terminals is unattached the car will not start. It matters not which terminal is unattached. Both terminals must be attached to the battery for the car to function, otherwise the car is "dead", so to speak.

Likewise, we must embrace both positive and negative, lest we
remain "without power", just like the car.

We can not look at good and evil as tho they are two distinct entities. What I mean is that often times we look at evil as tho it is a being of its own. Prevailing idea of evil based on scholastics background is that it is the absense of a good that is due... all things in so far as they are...in themselves are good...this is what you call ontological goodness or goodness of being... For what can be good or bad if in the first place it is not there?

Now you have another goodness, that is the physical goodness, that is anything that serves the purpose of its being.

Thus the good of the eyes are the sight... and the evil thereof is ABSENCE of sight, or absence of the good which should have been in the EYES. Why? because eyes are made for seeing even if it can be utilized for something other than seeing..its principal 'raison d'etre' or principal perfection is sight...

We can say the same thing of the nose, or any physical reality who has its own reason for being... precisely a chair is a bad chair if you can't sit on it.

From the above there are no two chairs, one bad, one good, (unless its a physical reality of 2 chairs)... there is only 1 chair with one state of being : either a good chair or bad chair.... you might ask the question, but does this allow degrees? Yes, it does Degree of goodness or badness but only one physical reality : the chair... the goodness and the badness is quality in relation to the purpose of the chair.

Lastly you have moral goodness... this is more for man.. If chairs has its reason for being. So does Man; but different from a chair since a chair can not determine itself. True, man did not make himself to be but he too is made for a purpose which only he alone (and not other men, altho they could be of help) must accomplish. Just a quick jump: this is what we call the Moral goodness and badness...

Thus if man lives his life according to how it should be lived; af if we believe in a creator, if he lives according to how his Creator wants him to live. If he does, then he is morally good, else he is evil or what many people call sin..

Take note that EVIL in all cases, is the absence of the good due or perfection that ought to have been, Thus evil in the final analysis is NON-BEING; only Good is...

Evil is ultimate negation of what ought to be or what ought to have been, thus the ultimate frustration.. What people call hell is a final state of ultimate evil.

If a person is morally good, i.e. man of goodwill, morally, then he has only one state: Good.

Being that we are not perfect we lack the aptitude social and supernatural ability to conceive such a concept as evil. Only a superior being or entity could do so. You have to be shown what we perceive as evil or god so how can u truly Analysewhat it is because what ever u call evil is only based on our perception of what is god and evil

I don't feel that it is necessary to be in any different dimension, because good and evil are only distinctions made by our intellect in our brain. If we can change our thinking then every thing will be as we want.

The "dual" dimensions are the more concrete dimensions. Once the more subtle dimensions are realized, that which you call evil (negative) has been redeemed/restored/transformed.

This seems to be a physics and a religion question.

The separation between good and evil is illusory. When you understand that, you will not seek to flee.

Charlatans would say yes and then most likely try to sell you one version or another of snake oil.
