Man, in his unawareness mistakenly ascribes the voices he hears to his own inner consciousness and imagines himself both responsible and defective in his thinking. In reality the Others, as are all spirits, are able to communicate with humans by insinuating ideas, by suggesting courses of action, by weakening the will of the soul in crisis and persuading him that he is unstable.

At times the Others suggest to the vulnerable mind that he should seek to please himself above all else and to regard the concerns of others lightly, if at all. They persuade him that he has only himself to consider, that it is to no avail to be guided by love for others. In extreme cases they are able to persuade the troubled soul that he is unloved and therefore owes love to no other.

Once the Others have insidiously persuaded man to be governed by what they suggest, they grow even bolder in all they suggest and consider it victory when the soul in progress finds itself blocked spiritually and emotionally and has abandoned love as central to his life.

Not all souls in progress suffer equally from the distraction of the Others. They seek easy victims and choose those most vulnerable to suggestion, those most despairing for any reason, those lacking confidence in themselves or in others, those who fear that they are not truly loved nor capable of loving others.

It will serve man well to recognize these destructive spirits when they seek to lead him from the path of love and giving and to dismiss them totally as unworthy.
