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
…the holy souls have great influence and intense effect, and
their influence and continuity do not depend upon physical existence and
elemental composition.
