  - Where is the battleground of the negative and positive forces of nature?
  - Why does man believe there is a devil?
  - What new unfoldment has he reached when he assumes that God is punishing him?
  - How could both assumptions be correct?
  - How did man discover that selfishness is related to his former conception of the devil?
  - Why does following the voice of self inevitably result in trouble, failure, inharmony, and suffering?
  - What or who is each man’s only enemy?
  - What happens when man finally overcomes that enemy?
  - What great lesson is learned from the overcoming?
  - Why cannot evil exist where Truth is?
  - What happens to the darkness in a room when light enters? What happens to evil in man’s consciousness when Truth enters? Therefore what is evil?
  - From past experiences, what do you think gives the enemy entrance into man’s consciousness?
  - How does that affect his outer affairs? Who—what is the Enemy? How can he reach and affect you?
  - What is the difference between a master of evil and an evil man?
  - What is the difference between masters who dwell only on the inner planes and those dwelling in physical bodies?
  - What is a sure test that will reveal the nature of any who are said to be masters?
  - What is meant by the term “soulless individuals”? Are there really such? What do you understand is the Anti-Christ?
  - Will it be possible for one who has served Anti-Christ unconsciously to break away when the call goes forth for conscious action on his side? At what cost?
  - What alone will insure you against harm at the hands of the enemy?
  - How is God using the enemy to serve His good purpose? What do you understand will be the Battle of Armageddon? Why will the Forces of Light win?
  - What does man learn through his experience with evil?
  - Why must there always be a manifestation of some form of evil according to the Law?
  - What is the true meaning of the parable of the Prodigal Son?
