(Seth speaking to Stan after Stan had discussed spirits and demons:) ...Through merely the mental and physical contortions that you have forced yourself through this evening. You are a spirit. You are a spirit now; you are simply clothed in flesh. You do not suddenly become a spirit as is and all spirits are not long-faced and boastly [sic], although you could frighten me under certain circumstances.

Now, you are not jolly enough. You are in the habit of carrying these hells and demons around with you, and if you do not watch it you will see them even in the faces of the flowers. These abilities are abilities that are your own. They are a part of the heritage of your consciousness. Use them in peace and joy. The spirit that is you forms your image. It is a live and vital part of your being. Now, I did not come through this evening for a long lecture but it behooved me to make a few comments to our friend (Stan) over here. Peace to you and forget your demons. If you believe in them you are letting yourself in for difficulties.

(To Stan.) The misunderstand[ing] was not between us. It is that the conscious mind does not understand the unconscious mind and that your conscious mind does not understand that it is frightened of demons and believes in their existence. His mind does not believe in demons, your unconscious mind does. You are not in touch with your own inner beliefs in that respect. Intellectually you have no use for those beliefs but emotionally they are still a part of you.
