[continued]

Evil* is a degree of separation from God. Not, I think, any degree, but a particular degree, or quality, of separation from God.**

God is manifest wholly in God the Spirit, but also in the Spirit of God within each Human; and in the Totality of created things which are a part of God, themselves separated.

Therefore we may assess the weight of Evil, and thus the weight of Sin, by the intensity or extremity of its separation, or by the degree of it separation, from God, or from the Spirit of God in Man, or from the Totality of God in Creation.***

Conscience, Knowing together, the ability to know God, and the factor which identifies us as human, enables us to recognise Evil by reference to God in these ways.
