'Does the devil exist or not?...

'He exists as a temporary idea but not as a permanent Reality.
I'll explain. When you think of the devil, what do you really
have? Only a thought. Now, if it remained only a simple idea
no harm could come to an individual. But the idea of a devil
gets wrongly mixed up with self-reference, fearful imagination,
a hypnotic attraction to danger, and other harmful states.
So now the careless person is taken over and controlled by this
directionless mass of wild energy which is called the devil.
This is the cause of all human violence and suffering.'"................Vernon Howard
