Footnotes

FOOTNOTES 1

• Note 1 "He was in spirit-in a condition wholly loosened from the earth-transported by means of the Spirit-into the Lord's day."- Seiss
• Note 2 Pember says that v. 2 refers to the character of the deceiving spirits and should be read thus: "direct teaching of unclean spirits, who, though bearing a brand on their own conscience, as a criminal is disfigured-would pretend to sanctity (i.e. holiness) to gain credence for their lies . . . "
• Note 3 The condition for the deception of evil spirits in this way, and how to distinguish these from the true teaching of the Holy Spirit, will be found in Chapter 6.
• Note 4 See Chapter 7.

• Note 20 It is in this sense that the word impurity is used, on page 78, in connection with the human spirit. The impurity of the mixture of soul and spirit, in contrast to pure spirit which unites with the Spirit of God in essential essence. The human spirit should be freed from the unbending element of the soul, to move in pliable correspondence with the Holy Spirit.
• Note 21 Cf. pages 21524
• Note 22 Three warning words may be given to believers at this point of experience: 1. Do not obey an exterior, or (apparently) interior "voice"; 2. Do not locate God as in, or around; 3. Do not pray to God as in, or around, in the atmosphere, but as in heaven. Cf. pages 124 to 131, on the mistaken location of God; and pages 138, 139, on the detection of voices from the supernatural sphere.
• Note 23 The subject of speaking in tongues is not further dealt with, as the counterfeits in connection with it are only a fraction of the countless counterfeits being forced upon the children of God at the present time, numbers of which are not referred to in these pages. A believer not deceived by counterfeit speaking in tongues can be deceived and possessed by accepting other counterfeits. An understanding of the broad principles showing the basic differences between the way of God's working, and the deceptive imitations by Satan, will enable spiritual believers to discern for themselves all the counterfeits they meet with to-day.

• Note 16 J. Grasset, "Le psychisme inferieur," 1906, writes:--"Psychical proceedings fall into two groups; (1) those of a higher order--conscious, volitional, free; (2) those of a lower class--unconscious, mechanical, involuntary." On this subject Dr. Naum Kotik says in "The Emanation of Psycho-physical Energy":--"Under ordinary conditions in the activity of the brain, the sub-consciousness hardly makes itself felt, and for this reason we have no suspicion of its existence. There are conditions of the psyche, however, such as somnambulism, in which the sub-consciousness comes to the front, takes over the complete control, and forces the super-consciousness back into the position in which it (viz., the sub-consciousness) rightfully belongs. The actions which attest the activity of the sub-consciousness independently of the super-consciousness, are usually termed automatic.

• Note 18 Prayer is a great factor in keeping the body thus in its right place, i.e., dominated by the spiritual.

FOOTNOTES TRUE GROUND

1. Note 1 See "Counterfeit" for difference between turning inward to a subjective manifestation, instead of relying upon the Living Christ in heaven. The reliance and fellowship with the Glorified Christ draws the believer to live out of himself (Ephes. 2: 6), and thus have a wider vision, and clearer fellowship with all saints.
2. Note 2 "Co-operation" versus "control" is the distinction between the true working of God in and with men, in contrast to the working of evil supernatural powers.
