The passing thought* that actions may be coloured by other spiritual degrees (i.e. degrees of the Circle) as well as stained by evil (the extreme spiritual separation, per [2],** hence, presumably, at A~, and black) – gives rise to a whole new range of interesting possibilities, while appearing entirely consistent with the rest of the Circles.

*[See last previous entry.]

**[‘"Separation arises out of Unity; and to Unity it returns, on the material and the Spiritual levels. Like the Universe itself, Animals, Men, Angels, all are born of Singularity; and towards the Unity they must return, although in different ways. Animals are born within the separating transformation of the Universe, as are the bodies of Men; even the bodies of Angels may be born this way. But the Spirit of a Man comes directly from God the Spirit, and is a part of God the Spirit, as is the Spirit that is an Angel; and an Angel is more usually created than born. It is the Spirit within a Man or an Angel that recognises the Spirit that is God, from which it came, of which it is a part, and to which it longs to return; and by recognition of God it is enabled also to recognise the extreme Spiritual Separation from God that we call Evil, and to have power over the material Separation. The ability to recognise Evil and to understand the Universe is directly dependent upon the ability to recognise God, by whatever name Men call it. To most Men, the material World is solid, opaque, and the Spiritual Kingdom is invisible; to Angels, the material Universe is transparent, and the Spiritual Kingdom is everywhere apparent. Many Men suppress the Spirit by the power of the Self, in which they are greatly assisted by the separated Universe; such Men generally require Faith if they are to believe in the existence of God, for whom there can be no proof within the Universe. Angels and Saints know God directly.’ (per xS in [2]]
