Assuming that one believes there is a universal power that governs things...
If so...what would be the ramifications...?

Yup... the Supreme is beyond all dualities. Only pure consciousness exists.

One ramification would be that I would be free to bash someone over the head with a baseball bat without any consequence from the "universal power" who is far beyond such things. Just what we need, an universe with no concept of Justice.
It is strange and funny how far people are willing to go in order not to fess up to their own bad behavior.

Actually, it does. The "Universal Power" can do what it wants, since ultimately it is supreme over all of us and we don't really have any input as to what happens or doesn't happen. It has ultimate executive privilege and can make or supersede whatever rules it likes.
The motivations of an ultimate being might very well seem random to human beings and make no sense to us at all, while to someone or something far higher than our understanding, it would make perfect sense. People are like ants compared to the overall picture.
While we might whine and cry, "That's not FAIR!", it doesn't have to seem fair to us. Our opinions aren't really all that important, since we don't grasp the big picture. We don't even have a clue what the big picture's theme is.

Of course not. Good is a good thing and bad is a bad thing. That is the first division. Universal means "oversee" or its all over the place. They are two different "concepts." Nothing in common. Universal Power, whatever the f uk that is, has components of good and evil.

Yes, by being as vague and meaningless as possible. The phrase "Universal Power" doesn't even indicate if it is sentient in any way. You have to have some sentience to judge good and bad, no matter what value system used.

Yes. It's beyond concepts, it is our inter-most being, true goodness is beyond good and bad. But if one does not know this, it is better to be good.
It is alive in constant love and joy, the only reason people do "bad" things is because they are confused and suffer from a case of mistaken identity. I was confused for many years.

In the highest sense....there really is no good and evil. I believe actually that there is no "evil" force which opposes "good". Man, contrary to Christian beliefs is not intrinsically evil. What is commonly called evil, I see as ignorance( of a greater destiny and highjer consciuosness). God/Universal Power is all. Yin and yang, positive and negative, masculine and feminine. Hope you understand me.

lol this is truthfully humorous! i replaced into taking a formative years progression type in school years in the past, and between the flaws it especially mentions is to "under no circumstances tell the toddler 'wait until eventually your father/mom gets homestead." while the instructor asked us if it ever exceeded off in our residences, the lady next to me suggested her mom were doing it for years, yet her dad hasn't come homestead yet. we don't try this in the process our homestead although. My son thinks the two me and Mr Dawna are the two evil.

natural balance governs universal power... our connection with nature is spiritual, so in context of good and evil, right and wrong it's more balance, or imbalance, order or chaos... what brings imbalance and chaos is wrong... what brings balance and order is good... it's not so much as behavior either... what people call sin in religions limits our adaptability to nature until it broke the link... these links are being mended, our spirit is being healed universally not just on earth... the exodus of religions is a omen of that healing..

Buddhists believe something like this. There are relative truths, based on our view of what is good or bad. But the higher truths do not reflect our expectations, based on our worldly attachments. The higher truths lead us to enlightenment. But first you must detach yourself from worldly things.
For instance, you may believe a certain food, or shirt or car is better than another. You are occupied with relative truths, based on your material attachments. But if life's purpose is achieving enlightenment, than you should not care what food you eat, shirt you wear or car you drive.
Jesus taught something similar, that you should not concern yourself with what to eat or what to wear, only with the Kingdom.
Does that help?
