St Paul
tells us that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places;" in other words, against the works of the devil, the evil mind, "mortal mind" in its various phases or segregations, such as hypnotism, animal magnetism, malice, doubt, fear, discouragement, disease, and various other members of evil's brood.
