You have asked regarding the influence of evil spirits. Evil
spirits are deprived of Eternal Life. How, then, can they exercise any
influence? But as Eternal Life is ordained for holy spirits, therefore their
influence exists in all the divine worlds.
At the time you were here, this question was accordingly
answered, that after the ascension of the godly souls, great influence and wide
spreading bounties are destined for them, and all encircling signs in the seen
and unseen are decreed for them.
