This* is why I have difficulty with the description 'Evil Spirit' in the sense of something opposed to God. Opposed to Christ, yes; separated to a greater degree from God, yes; but not opposed to God, exactly. Some of this problem can be resolved by considering different uses of the word “spirit”.

God is The Spirit: God the Spirit. That is the first plane.

An Angel is a Spirit: a Spirit of God, as seen from below**; but as seen from above, that Spirit which is *** an Angel is the Spirit of God, which is from the first plane indistinguishable from God the Spirit. That is the second plane, the Spiritual Realm: only separation [sic] distinguishes the Spirit of God from God the Spirit.

A Man also (on the Third Plane, the Material World) contains a Spirit which is the Spirit of God, and on the highest plane indistinguishable from God the Spirit.

All these manifestations of the Spirit are spelt (by me at least) with a capital “S”.

*[See last previous entry.]

**[from below that second plane (in which case how do things seem as seen from that second plane); or from below the first plane? <20160829>]

***(in)? <930429>
