Dark Forces

FROM BOOK ONE (from the new version that came out in April 2007)

“God is the interplanetary Mind, or intelligence. He is not to be found in a single mass. Half of Him is in the non-material realm of the Universe. This is the sum total of all energies. The other half of Him is dispersed across the Earth, in every individual, in every Man. The dark forces strive to block these particles.” (pp 50)

The dark forces are constantly trying to make Man give into base fleshy passions, to stop him from experiencing God-given grace. They try all sorts of tricks to persuade people that satisfaction is something they can easily obtain. They separate Man from the truth.

The devices of the dark forces (pornography) are obscuring spirituality by provoking base carnal desires. These bring people a lot of suffering and grief. They act through women and exploit their beauty. A woman’s beauty is supposed to inspire in Man the spirit of the poet, the artist, and the creator. But to do that, women themselves must be pure. If there is not sufficient purity, they start trying to attract men by fleshy charms. The men are deceived and the women must suffer their whole lives on account of this deception. (pp 65-66)

“The forces of darkness try to distract their attention with the instant attraction of your technocratic way of life, to make them forget the simple truths and commandments set forth way back in the Bible. And they all too often succeed.

“One of the mortal sins of Man is pride. The forces of darkness are every moment working to make sure Man does not let go of this sin, and money is one of their basic tools in this campaign.

“Money is like a high-tension zone. The forces of darkness are proud of this invention. They even think themselves stronger than the forces of light for having come up with money. And for being able to use money to distract people from their true purpose.” (pp 133)

“They (the ‘dimension of the forces of light’) have accepted this, and the forces of darkness are always fighting with them, but never have the dark forces scored a major victory.” (pp 162)

“These forces of darkness have always tried to deprive Man of the opportunity of drawing upon the grace emanating from these combinations (of words in contained in prayers). To this end they have even changed the language, introduced new words and removed old ones, and distorted the meaning of words.”

She tells Vladimir that there used to be forty-seven letters in the Russian alphabet but now there are 33 and that the dark forces distorted the original language. (pp 174)

When speaking to Vladimir about her plan Anastasia tells him that when she was dreaming it up her thoughts were racing along very quickly, but that the forces of darkness were keeping up with them. The forces of darkness had left many of their earthly affairs in order to block Anastasia’s dream from taking hold. She outwitted them by “extending the dark forces window of time” and the amount of time Vladimir needed to meet his various challenges, which caused them confusion enough that they were confounded. In this very moment Anastasia shone her light on people who will help Vladimir in the future. The dream was then snatched up by the forces of light and “transported into radiant infinity”. (pp 177)
