| energy. When you hide your evil behind the evil of others, you invariably become weak, and your | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| I am constantly recommending to you: face your evil -- your irrationality and primitive, destructive aspects -- | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| this key, you do not act out the evil, directly or indirectly -- you do not spread | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| directly or indirectly -- you do not spread evil. Your evil thoughts, feelings, and wishes can be | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| indirectly -- you do not spread evil. Your evil thoughts, feelings, and wishes can be dealt with | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| you responsible for their suffering and pin their evil on you will be unsuccessful because you have | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| others' negativity. Thus, a free person can bypass evil layers and activate the best in others. This | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| thus liberated, to that degree you can dissolve evil in yourself and others. You affect the equally | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| give them love and help. Thus they spread evil by being closed to truth and love, to | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| pleasure and pain, life and death, good and evil. You cannot transcend these opposites as long as | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| your being where you blame others for their evil because you shy away from facing your own | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| unrealistically. The realistic and adequate defense against the evil of others is the daily, direct, determined and | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| of your own. The signs of your hidden evil are always there in your anxious, angry, confused | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| that is responsible for being affected by another's evil, then you cannot fail to discover it and | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| and focus on the other person's shortcomings or evil separates you from where you should be. Whatever | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| when you muster the courage to find your evil, distorted aspects. Then you will find your true | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| not matter whether these traits be good or evil, such as, for example love, perseverance, sloth, laziness | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| come from. What is the real origin of evil? You know and have often heard me say | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| helpless, and your feeling of being unlovable create evil and destructive attitudes and feelings. In other words | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| and destructive attitudes and feelings. In other words, evil is a defense against suffering. All defenses create | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| fully as possible. To recapitulate: all that is evil, destructive, and negative in human nature is a | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| really a bottomless pit of negativity, destruction, and evil at the foundation of the human condition? Or | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| is not destruction -- it is construction. The evil, destructive, and demonic forces of life are rooted | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| in truth with yourself. All of this is evil, if you wish to use this word. Destructiveness | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| is the living principle of Do not resist evil. It requires blindness not to see that children | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |

| evil will cease to exist. All defenses harbor evil. It is obvious in any type of negativity | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| task on the evolutionary road is to eliminate evil, to transform it back into its original state | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| are required to accomplish this phase of purification. Evil produces pain, and the fear of and defense | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| more and worse pain, as well as more evil. You can experience the illusion of the defense | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| untruthful -- and therefore part and parcel of evil. Undefended, real pain opens doors, brings light, and | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| But even when the soul is free from evil, at first it still requires strengthening to withstand | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| from a different angle, with the concept of evil. There are many levels on which each part | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| lectures. Some philosophies claim that there is no evil, that evil is an illusion. Others claim that | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| philosophies claim that there is no evil, that evil is an illusion. Others claim that evil is | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| that evil is an illusion. Others claim that evil is a fact observable by anyone who faces | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| who faces reality. Some religious philosophies contend that evil stems from one principal source, a specific entity | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| good stems from a personified God. Good and evil stem from two figures, according to this view | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| philosophies say that the forces of good and evil exist as principles, as energy, as attitudes. As | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| I so often do, I wish to discuss evil first in its cosmic, spiritual and philosophical context | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| the human personality. The various concepts of what evil is and where it comes from are all | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| the apparently opposite approach. If you say that evil does not exist at all, on any level | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| state that in ultimate reality there is no evil, that is true. Any one of these postulates | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| reality of the unified state there is no evil. Thought is pure and truthful; feelings are loving | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| utterly positive and constructive. Therefore there is no evil. But the same consciousness can change its mind | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| also alters its manifestations. Thus the manifestation of evil is not something intrinsic ally different from pure | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| to state that in essence there is no evil as it is to state that on the | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| is. Each individual must accept the reality of evil on this plane of development, in order to | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| with it and thus to truly overcome it. Evil must be faced and overcome primarily within the | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| primarily within the self. Only then can the evil that is outside of the self be dealt | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| both the pure and the distorted, good and evil, God and the devil, exist. It is the | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| -- to purify the soul and to overcome evil. Let us look for a moment at what | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| Let us look for a moment at what evil means, from the point of view both of | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| more we can speak of a manifestation of evil. Another characteristic of distorted energy flow in its | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| Another characteristic of distorted energy flow in its evil aberration is condensation. Condensed energy is the dualistic | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| purifying its thought and attitude patterns. What does evil mean as a phenomenon of consciousness? Religion has | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| But let us look at the phenomenon of evil on a more subtle level. Jesus Christ said | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| subtle level. Jesus Christ said: Do not resist evil. This saying has been misunderstood in many ways | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| truth. On the contrary, they help to perpetuate evil and allow the perpetrator to inflict evil on | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| perpetuate evil and allow the perpetrator to inflict evil on his or her environment. Any truth can | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| yet correct, ways. Since tonight we are discussing evil as a manifestation of consciousness and energy, I | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and energy, I shall interpret Do not resist evil from this angle. Do not resist evil points | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| resist evil from this angle. Do not resist evil points to the fact that resistance itself is | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| the fact that resistance itself is, and breeds, evil. Unobstructed energy flows smoothly and harmoniously, like a | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| consciousness generates ill will or negative intentionality. No evil attitude can manifest unless resistance to good is | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| unavoidably painful. Resistance, matter, blindness, spells dualism, separation, evil, and suffering -- these are one and the | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| of creation. Resistance is therefore a manifestation of evil. When you go deeply enough into yourself, you | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| precisely the word used by Jesus. The word evil suffers a similar fate. Religion has thrown it | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| or that. This destructive attitude must create an evil force because it obstructs the ongoing movement of | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| we find again and again that the basic evil triad is pride, self-will, and fear, which are | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| which are always interconnected. All other manifestations of evil arise from this triad. Furthermore, each of these | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| result of resistance and breeds more resistance, or evil. Self-will says, I resist any other way but | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| This self-negation, rooted in resistance is, and creates, evil. When you want to avoid your feelings and | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| it is no more an ultimate state than evil is. The more pain is experienced in its | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| exist in you distortion, blindness, ill will, resistance, evil. The human being who is in a state | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| says, Yes, I want to admit what is evil, I want to confront myself and dispense with | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| truth is considerably weaker than the stagnant, resistive, evil one, major crisis may again be avoided for | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| movement that is almost impossible to describe. Resisting evil means not facing and accepting the evil in | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| Resisting evil means not facing and accepting the evil in you. This resistance creates a tremendous accumulation | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| destruction is truly marvelous. It destroys the very evil that has created it. Unfortunately it is impossible | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| remove more and more resistance. Do not resist evil in you. By that I mean, give up | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| mean, give up the appearance, the pretense that evil does not exist in you. Give in, go | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| is most eloquently demonstrated in the fact that evil must finally destroy itself. It can build up | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| by your conscious determination to relinquish resisting the evil in you, which you mistakenly believe comes to | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| truth and less inclined to act out the evil, which you sometimes even do self-righteously. You will | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| enough, the more you own up to your evil, the more honorable you become, and the more | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| to go all the way. The temptations of evil are so very subtle. Every truth can be | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| no one formula that can protect you from evil: only sincerity of heart can do so. This | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| an undesirable feeling or experience, you automatically acquire evil, that is, negative attitudes. Hence, the first step | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| a receptive attitude is to let out the evil that is in you, to no longer deny | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| your fear of self, of pain and of evil, you will be in the appropriate state of | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| purification. But if you assume responsibility for this evil while also knowing that you are an expression | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| beautiful and the ugly, the divine and the evil. If you wish to own up to both | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| liberated and at one with divine law, where evil and destructive, and where stuck and stagnant because | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |

| does not exist as a reality in itself. Evil is always a distortion of divine truth. Every | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| its separateness, is such a distortion destructive or evil. The very same basic trait has an entirely | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |

| to prove itself superior. This is the particular evil that has to be ousted. This particular evil | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| evil that has to be ousted. This particular evil brings a Pandora's box full of many other | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| which create shame, suffering, and many other destructive evil patterns. You may well say, I only wish | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| genius -- is your fear of still existing evil within yourself. All fear is ultimately the fear | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| and is a much greater obstruction than the evil itself. I have said this many times. This | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| course, is the ultimate folly. The fear of evil within is superfluous, because the evil is really | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| fear of evil within is superfluous, because the evil is really distorted beauty and love. The devil | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| process takes place, again and again, until all evil matter is transformed. You will then no longer | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| said that so much energy is trapped in evil, an energy that you do not wish to | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| through the process of the genuine transcendence of evil, you gain back all the forceful vitality that | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| had to inactivate in order to avoid the evil. You lose nothing; the gain is enormous. If | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| and whitewash and be a-tremble of your own evil or devil. Approach your devil with the ultimate | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| stay in fear and hide from the inner evil, you cannot claim your total, wonderful egoless self | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| ego. You will lose your fear of the evil inside, aware now that the feared evil contains | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| the evil inside, aware now that the feared evil contains the essence of the good. Within every | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| of self-purification, of traversing all self-created pain and evil. Now let us briefly consider what such shortcuts | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| of the potency to create while there is evil intent in you, you could harm, wreak havoc | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| the purpose of ultimate purification and ultimate bliss. Evil does not and cannot destroy -- it can | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| without the simultaneous expansion of the self-purifying agents, evil could destroy the divine. So, as an in-built | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| is only distortion. No matter how negative, destructive, evil, dark, bad something may be, it is but | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| the opposite extreme, so all concepts of sin, evil, and personal responsibility for human unhappiness were being | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| and goodness, this inversion creates ugliness, destruction and evil. There have been many names for this countermovement | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| Those names can become obstacles in dealing with evil, for they have often been misused, creating further | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| deaf ear to terms such as good and evil, God and the devil, heaven and hell. Yet | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| word that evokes a negative reaction in you. Evil exists in degrees. Many varieties of distribution and | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| varieties of distribution and intensity of divine and evil manifestations exist. Consciousness and energy manifest separately in | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| entities, in personalities, in living beings divine or evil. The strength with which the former can penetrate | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| too simple to those in a state of evil and suffering who insist that turning around is | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| own nature. The consciousness and energy in these evil states are so condensed and thickened that they | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| equally imperceptible. In the lowest state of development, evil is so strongly concentrated on the surface that | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| not know the full extent of good and evil because your inner field of vision does not | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| lower self could approach the intensity of the evil that exists in the lower spheres. And the | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| would also like to add here that manifest evil is not necessarily indicative of an overall lack | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| It is often quite the contrary. Active, virulent evil often indicates that the potential to develop one's | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| a severely disturbed human being who exhibits some evil traits, but who already has a developed conscience | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| developed conscience and therefore does not act out evil deeds, turns relatively quickly into a spirit of | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| What was once negative, destructive, and even outright evil, will turn positive, constructive, and good. What was | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |

| WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA Greetings, my very beloved friends. What | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| it is during this process and venture that evil comes into existence. The slow penetration of the | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| error, ignorance, and fear, creating, in turn, further evil attitudes. Light meeting darkness initially distorts vision; then | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| the forces of good and the forces of evil. The more the spirit penetrates the void the | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| your emotional perception, courage is often associated with evil, while the weak, cowardly person is associated with | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| show you now how cowardice is just as evil as active perpetration of evil. Spiritual cowardice not | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| is just as evil as active perpetration of evil. Spiritual cowardice not only leads to betrayal of | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| of God, but to as active and potent evil as the more obvious aggressive acting out of | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| weak, when you do not stand up to evil behavior, when you collude with it and refrain | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| refrain from fighting for the truth? You encourage evil, you sustain the illusion in the person who | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| asserting truth, standing up for decency, and exposing evil, you will be isolated, ridiculed, and rejected. In | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| happens constantly in human interaction. Such encouragement of evil is easy to push out of full awareness | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| negative than outright, active maligning. Maligners expose their evil and thus take the chance of being rebuked | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| act. Can you see that silent collusion with evil is more abrasive than active evil? Active evil | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| collusion with evil is more abrasive than active evil? Active evil alone could never have led to | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |

| were afraid for their skin and thus allowed evil to -- apparently - - win. But, of | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| -- apparently - - win. But, of course, evil can never really win. The same is true | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| guilt. The primary guilt is for cooperation with evil, permitting it, conveying one's approval of it, no | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| claiming that one is not participating in the evil, and even pretending to be good, when one's | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |

| OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL My dearest friends, God's blessings envelop you. Jesus | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| you again about certain realities and laws concerning evil. It is very important that you understand more | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| present moment. For many centuries the power of evil was fully recognized. Humanity had a sense of | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| lower self, frequently made them the prey to evil influences. Lack of self-knowledge inevitably led to lack | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| lack of self-responsibility. Thus humanity felt victimized by evil spirits. Fear of them often led to submission | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| occurred. This disconnection itself is a manifestation of evil, as I shall explain more specifically later. Now | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| to say what I have often mentioned before: evil and its manifestation must itself become the medicine | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| manifestation must itself become the medicine to overcome evil -- at least in the long run. Therefore | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| look within themselves to correct the effects of evil. So humanity had to go through a period | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| help to purify it, you are invulnerable to evil. To the degree you commit yourself to the | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| now like to discuss three specific principles of evil. Your understanding of this material will prove immensely | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| The first of the three basic principles of evil is the most obvious to humanity. The devil | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| principles I shall discuss here. The delusion of evil in the case of this first principle lies | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| as a discarnate entity who is filled with evil, experiences excitement and pleasure when spreading destruction, suffering | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| destruction, suffering, and pain. The second principle of evil is materialism. This not only applies to the | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| different kind corresponding to a different principle of evil. It should be easy to see that until | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| your earth sphere manifested the first principle of evil in a much stronger way. In the last | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| not totally different from the second sphere of evil I described. These two principles have been known | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| exists in satanic spheres. The third principle of evil is little known. Although it has been only | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| a vague way, perhaps as a byproduct of evil but hardly ever as a powerful principle itself | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| is not just an extremely effective weapon of evil; it is an evil principle in itself. It | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| extremely effective weapon of evil; it is an evil principle in itself. It will be easy to | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| own lower self contains all three principles of evil. Only when you become clearly aware of this | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| compelling field of attraction to powerful forces of evil that you can only neutralize and render harmless | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| mentality can accept the principle of good and evil more easily than the fact that they are | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| personified. However, even the principle of good and evil is still often disputed, as if good or | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| is still often disputed, as if good or evil were merely subjective perceptions. Here again we are | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| with a half-truth. In fact, both good and evil are often experienced on a very superficial level | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| questionable and possibly as a mask of something evil. By the same token, what appears bad on | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| So it is quite true that good and evil should be both viewed with caution and discernment | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| assume that because of this fact good and evil do not exist in a very real way | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| very real way. The denial of good and evil as absolutes, in spite of the relative perception | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| inherent in the denial of absolute good and evil is an expression of the third principle which | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| because it begins to recognize that good and evil actually exist above and beyond the relativity of | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| personification. You personify both principles of good and evil, as you now know very well. Why should | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| manifestation their divine core is so overlaid by evil that nothing of it manifests. We are here | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| unattended to, the more you become prey to evil influences who are much more concerned with you | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| are directed. Satan, the ultimate personification of all evil containing all three principles personified as entities, recognizes | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| help doing so. It was God's will for evil to have its sphere of activity and influence | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| and influence, for only in this way can evil be truly overcome within the soul of all | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| It is to ensure this ultimate overcoming of evil that very exacting laws and rules exist, preventing | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| the interaction between an individual's lower self and evil spirits follows certain very definite laws. When one | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| all universes, is not the enemy of personified evil, who then is? It is God in the | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| of influences and temptations that the personification of evil could unleash. Through this tremendous act of steadfastness | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| this light, but the light of truth stings evil spirits; the light of love is unbearably oppressive | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| also represent the universal battle between good and evil. The individual's role in this battle -- on | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| one or all of the three principles of evil. Cruelty will be hidden under the guise of | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| will be called the truth. The forces of evil have been allowed to find entrance through your | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| of darkness which carry the three principles of evil. Clarification will come when the truth is really | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| the pain you inflict on others with this evil projection. Do not ever delude yourself into believing | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| understand that a person does not experience temporary evil influences because he or she is undeveloped, or | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| influences because he or she is undeveloped, or evil, or bad. One individual may be more accosted | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| bad. One individual may be more accosted by evil even though what needs to be purified in | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| through their unrecognized parts a greater attraction to evil than does the negative charge of a person | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| can be corrected, but a universe in which evil could win cannot be corrected and is an | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| can deceive and win with your negativity, your evil, your destructive attitudes, you realistically and logically conclude | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |

| work out for the best, no matter how evil, how painful, how tragic things may appear at | 250 INNER AWARENESS OF GRACE -- EXPOSING THE DEFICIT |
| two concepts. This confusion fosters the forces of evil and prevents you from fulfilling all your needs | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| a grieving pain about the destruction caused by evil. It is healthy and good to allow this | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| all the suffering created by the forces of evil in this earth sphere. If you harden yourself | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| duality is a fact. Life seems to die, evil always lurks somewhere in the shadows no matter | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| human action into the direction of good or evil. Yet it does seem, and in a sense | 254 SURRENDER |
| is dualistic, being a combination of good and evil. Humanity's beliefs are always characterized by this polarity | 254 SURRENDER |
| the other that the polarity disappears. Spheres of evil or of hell would therefore manifest only pain | 254 SURRENDER |
| distrust -- and therefore suffering, death and all evil -- are overcome. Focused emptiness is therefore nothing | 256 INNER SPACE, FOCUSED EMPTINESS |
| and right. You believe that what may appear evil to you now is also ultimately evil. This | 257 ASPECTS OF THE NEW DIVINE INFLUX: COMMUNICATION, GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPOSURE |
| appear evil to you now is also ultimately evil. This is hardly the case. Sometimes an outright | 257 ASPECTS OF THE NEW DIVINE INFLUX: COMMUNICATION, GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPOSURE |
