Higher or lower nature - favouring one or the other
You should never forget that human beings are situated at the border of the higher and lower worlds. Christianity expresses this notion with the image of the guardian angel who stands on the right, and the devil who stands on the left. The angel gives good advice and enlightens, whilst the devil seeks to lead astray, and so make human beings its prey. This is a rather simplistic way of putting things, but it corresponds to a certain reality. This reality is that human beings have two natures: a lower nature and a higher nature. Depending on their degree of evolution, they favour one or the other, and that is how they come into contact with the spirits of darkness or with the spirits of light. Some people say that they do not believe in the entities of the invisible world. Well, whether they believe in them or not is irrelevant: their lower nature and their higher nature are there and it is impossible not to see them in action. It is up to each one of us to decide which influence we will accept.
