Quote by Eric Butterworth

Evil, and evil spirits, devils and devil possession, are the outgrowth of man's inadequate consciousness of God. We must avoid thinking of evil as a thing in itself-a force that works against man or, against God, if you will.

Summary

This quote suggests that evil, such as evil spirits and demonic possessions, is a result of humanity's limited awareness and understanding of God. It emphasizes that evil should not be perceived as a separate and opposing force to man or God. Instead, it argues that evil is a product of our own shortcomings in comprehending the divine. In essence, the quote encourages individuals to shift their perspective and view evil as a manifestation of human ignorance rather than a distinct power.

Man's consciousness is his least known and most abused vital

Man's consciousness is his least known and most abused vital organ. Most people believe that consciousness as such is some sort of indeterminate faculty which has no nature, no specific identity and therefore no requirements, no needs, no rules for being properly or improperly used.... Men abuse, subvert and starve their consciousness in a manner they would not dream of applying to their hair, toenails or stomachs. They know that these things have a specific identity and specific requirements, and, if one whishes to preserve them, one must comb one's hair, trim one's toenails and refrain from swallowing rat poison.
