OBSESSION

"Many do not realize that sin has no eternal life, that sin has to die, and the soul that persists thus comes into a purer life."

'But there are so many spirits who obsess earth people. These do not seem to lose their sin? Their sin doesn't seem to die?'

"Yes, that is the reason they become obsessing spirits. They cannot live in the pure atmosphere of heaven, and go of their own accord to find some life upon which they can fasten themselves and thus live out their evil existence.

"There is so much that is not understood. Life, human and spiritual, is so complex that it takes long to even understand it, to separate the good from the evil. Volumes could be written upon life and thought, upon unconscious motives, subconscious evils, but it would take more of a philosopher than I ever expect to be to explain and classify."
