| BkVI:15.I.22 | These "demons that afflict people" are not identities. They do not exist as free beings. Rather, they are non-loving thoughts which become enmeshed in a thought system when the will of the person moves away from love. The body does not create them, nor do they have anything to do with the physical itself; but like everything mental, it creates its own reality—in this case, a human reality far from love. |
