Evil Spirit of Intelligence to Beat Down Man into Submission through Intellectual Prowse

Jesus says:

"I told you one day that the eternal envious one seeks to copy God in all God's manifestations."

"God has His faithful archangels. Satan has his. Michael--God's witness--has a hellish imitator; and so does Gabriel--God's strength."

"The first beast, on coming out of the sea--who with a blasphemous voice has the deluded proclaim, "Who is like the beast?--corresponds to Michael. Vanquished and wounded by the latter (Michael) in the battle between God's hosts and Lucifer's, at the beginning of time, healed by Satan, he feels deathly hate towards Michael, and love, if love can be spoken of among the demons--but it is better to say 'absolute subjection'--for Satan." [Rev. 13]

"A faithful minister of his accursed king, he uses intelligence to do harm to the descendants of man, God's creature, and to serve his master. Limitless, measureless force is used by him to persuade man to cancel My Sign on his own, which horrifies the spirits of darkness. Once it is removed, by sin which takes away grace, the luminous chrism upon your being, the Beast can approach and induce man to worship him as if he were a God and 'serve him in crime'."

"If man reflected on the kind of subjection he gives himself over to by wedding sin, he would not sin. But man does not reflect. He looks at the moment and the joy of the moment, and, worse than Esau, he exchanges God's fatherland for a plate of lentils."

"Satan, however, does not use only this violent seducer of man. No matter how little man reflects, in general, there are still too many men who, not out of love, but out of fear of punishment, do not want to sin seriously. And then the other Satanic minister appears, the second beast. In the guise of a lamb, he has the spirit of a dragon." [Rev. 13]

"It is the second manifestation of Satan and corresponds to Gabriel, for he announce the Beast and is his strongest force: the one that dismantles without seeming to and persuades with lying sweetness that it is right to follow the Beast's footsteps." [Rev. 13]

"It is useless to speak of political power and of the earth. No. If anything, you can apply to the former the name of human Power and the latter that of human Knowledge. And if Power by itself produces rebels, Knowledge, when it is only human, corrupts without producing rebellion and leads a boundless number of initiates to perdition. How many are lost through mental pride which separates them from God! For if I will reap the harvest of the earth on the last day, there is already a reaper in your midst. And it is this spirit of Evil, who cuts down and doesn't turn you into ears of eternal grain, but into straw for the dwelling places of Satan."
