The Enemy

LESSON 22 | FEBRUARY 1933

  1. Where is the battleground of the negative and positive forces of nature?
  2. Why does man believe there is a devil?
  3. What new unfoldment has he reached when he assumes that God is punishing him?
  4. How could both assumptions be correct?
  5. How did man discover that selfishness is related to his former conception of the devil?
  6. Why does following the voice of self inevitably result in trouble, failure, inharmony, and suffering?
  7. What or who is each man’s only enemy?
  8. What happens when man finally overcomes that enemy?
  9. What great lesson is learned from the overcoming?
  10. Why cannot evil exist where Truth is?
  11. 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?
  12. From past experiences, what do you think gives the enemy entrance into man’s consciousness?
  13. How does that affect his outer affairs? Who—what is the Enemy? How can he reach and affect you?
  14. What is the difference between a master of evil and an evil man?
  15. What is the difference between masters who dwell only on the inner planes and those dwelling in physical bodies?
  16. What is a sure test that will reveal the nature of any who are said to be masters?
  17. What is meant by the term “soulless individuals”? Are there really such? What do you understand is the Anti-Christ?
  18. 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?
  19. What alone will insure you against harm at the hands of the enemy?
  20. 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?
  21. What does man learn through his experience with evil?
  22. Why must there always be a manifestation of some form of evil according to the Law?
  23. What is the true meaning of the parable of the Prodigal Son?
