The Angel and the Devil both are completely under man's control; the work of man, here in this sphere and in every other, is to develop the character which will enable him to get back to the Source.
Unless the man directs the Angel to take the ascendancy, there would be no growth in wisdom for him were the Angel to interpose. So he remains silent and lets the Devil do his work, in order that man may find out for himself the pain and folly of such dominion; and in order that when he again encounters the Devil, either in this plane of existence or some other, he may be able to say as Christ said, "Get thee behind me."
Always have there been Devils; always will there be Devils, while humanity is evolving from the lower to the higher states.
But always is there the Angel, ready to lead the soul to conquest and victory if the soul will call.
