The Voice of the Devil

This is Blake again, who takes off from Milton. It's a beautiful take on the good/evil thing. I've put it here for Ray and Caroline. The work we do is all about channelling our passions and energies in a meaningful direction. Otherwise it tends to dissipate and the body wears out before its time. If you work correctly then some aspect of your energy should improve and strengthen with age. Think the long haul.

All Bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors:

1. That Man has two real existing principles: Viz: a Body & a Soul.
2. That Energy, call'd Evil, is alone from the Body; & that Reason, call'd Good, is alone from the Soul.
3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.

But the following Contraries to these are True:

1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that call'd Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age
2. Energy is the only life, and is from the Body; and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3. Energy is Eternal Delight.
