In the Light of Consciousness, Death is here.
It is said that God is consciousness. 
In other words, God is awareness of all that is, all that ever was and all that ever is. God is the awareness that we both exist here in this 3D world AND that there exists something beyond our 3D physical bodies, even if all you can get to is that we have thoughts.
Thoughts are intangible. They are not made up of anything from our 3D world. Yet your thoughts "exist" in some way, shape or form.
Therefore, God is awareness that there exists life beyond these physical bodies into another realm we cannot see with our five physical senses we have been trained to use.
Therefore, God is in all things and God IS all things.
In other words, God is the accumulation of all knowledge, experience and wisdom from all eternity to all eternity.
God is Information.
In essence, God IS the world wide web. All the knowledge there ever way.
And God is way beyond the WWW.
For God is consciousness. Consciousness is light. Light is energy. Energy is information.
If this is true - then there is no ability to label things either for God nor against God. Because God IS all things. God is all awareness. God IS all Consciousness.
God is Consciousness.
Consciousness is God.
Each one of us is merely and aspect of God.
As are the trees, water, mountains, desserts, bugs, animals, and all other creatures of this Earth. Of this Universe.
Even our “machines” are an aspect, are “consciousness” of Consciousness.
Each one only an aspect, only a little “consciousness” of the greater Consciousness. A little bit of “god” that makes up the entire “God.
If this is true, then God consciousness exists even in the “darkness”. God exists even in that which our human minds wish to deem evil, bad, or wrong.
God consciousness exists EVEN IN DEATH - because God is everything.
Even in Chaos, Destruction and…Death.
For who are we as merely one or a small amount of little “c” consciousness to judge the Storm that rages the shore? The Earthquake that levels a city? The Fire that clears a forest?
Yes they seem like complete tragedies to most of our “human” minds. Yet, if we trust that all of God - all of Consciousness i.e. information - is acting from a place of “All Knowing” - then we must “Let go and Let God” have the way.
Even in the question: "what is for the greatest good of all life?” we are asking a binary question we can only answer from a limited perspective. A limited perspective from our conscious (god) experience of living in this body. We are only focused on the aspect of which we see from this 3D world: life.
However, we must learn to expand our vision and our perspective to be greater than “life vs. death”.
We must expand our vision to include Death in Life.
For who are we to say what the fine balance is that creates the most life for all?
Do we have that much knowledge stored in our database from a mere finite number of years? Years that are no more than a millisecond of a millisecond of a millisecond compared to the Consciousness that has been around for all of eternity?
What we might deem “for the greatest good of all” is only from our perspective of “consciousness”. It is like looking through a binoculars, over-focusing in on just one thing - while GOD (all of consciousness) is able to see fully all the pieces that make up Itself.
So - what the heck does this mean? How do we apply this to daily living in a world that seems like it is “all wrong” and going to “hell in a hand basket”?
Beats the heck out of me.
However, this is is what I can say I see from this existential exploration down this path:
You have been given a certain “conscious” - i.e. a certain aspect of Consciousness for a reason.
You are to get to know that consciousness inside and out as best as you can.
You are to get to know how It speaks to you, guides you, leads you.
Then you are to act from that “conscious” - your little “consciousness/god” the best that you can. Honoring that which you are led to do. Honoring that which feels most resonate to your piece of consciousness that you carry in your framework.
AND - you are to allow others the same respect: allow them to act from the “conscious” they have been given. Even if you deem it “unworthy, wrong, bad, evil”.
I know. Not an easy task what-so-ever. But that is only because we look at it from a limited view on life.
For again I say, we only have the picture in part of what the full Consciousness - that is God - has. We do not see the bigger picture as God does - and we do not know what death, chaos and destruction will actually create the “greatest good for all of life”.
“All of life” - which includes all of death as well.
This is what God meant thru Jesus Christ, or the Christ Consciousness+ when he said “Do not Judge your neighbor” and to “Honor one another as you honor yourself.”
It didn’t mean convert them to your version of “consciousness”, to ensure they were “saved” into your way of living or seeing the world.
It meant honor their consciousness as you honor yours.
AND each live from a place of not judging one conciseness -whether “awake” or not - better or right over the other.
It meant live from your piece of the puzzle with your “program for life” - and allow your sister and brother to live from their “program”.
People will naturally gravitate to the “program” that best resonates for them -in that moment.
Living from this place takes a lot of internal power and strength so as to not lean outside of your own consciousness in attempts to control the other’s “program”.
And - living from this place is possible as the great Masters that have walked this Earth have taught us.
It is merely a question as to: Will we listen and heed their wisdom?
Side Notes:
+ Christ Consciousness: It is said that Jesus brought forth into the world “Christ Consciousness”. “Christ” mean the power of “choice”. Christ consciousness was introduced into the human program to show that we no longer had to act from our limbic/primal brain - but that we could “wake” up to a higher program and “Choose” to act from there.
Perhaps to note more than what “christ consciousness” means tho - is that it is merely a type of the Greater Consciousness. Christ, or Christ Consciousness is not the ONLY Consciousness that has ever existed. If it was, then there would have been no need for Jesus to have come to Earth to demonstrate a “new way” of living. Because that way of living would have already existed.
Likewise, it is little to think that no other type of consciousness has come into our awareness in the last 2000+ years since Jesus. If this was the case, then we would still be living in mud huts, walking the dust of the earth instead of traveling to the stars.
New “consciousness” (light=energy=info) is always coming into our plane of existence. And as we all can tell, at a higher rate as technology (also part of Consciousness) is ever increasing.
