On a tentative basis I assume that we are surrounded by invisible "entities", good and bad, Why? Why is it assumed that there must be bad.-----I believe that there is only one reality, one truth, and that is what I call Absolute Good. I do understand that on our level of existence there are often poles, positive and negative, both of which can be good or otherwise. But I do believe that there simply cannot be two "truths" that quite simply, there cannot be both good and bad, or as I prefer to call it ungood. Rather, I believe that certainly while bad things can appear to happen to humans and other levels of physical expression, the bad things are only temporary, and are merely the absence of Good.

... and that it is up to us to accept or reject the advice they give us via our own thoughts and by telepathy.-----I'm not really certain what you have in mind here. I do believe we have the ability to use Good, to misuse it, or to not use it at all. I believe when things appear as ungood on this level it is simply because we have failed to understand and use Good. The more we fail to use the Good, the deeper into earthbound chaos and confusion we go. The more we use the Good that literally surrounds and enfolds us, the less we are affected by earthbound ungood. It is through our thought that we find Good, it is through our lack of thought that we fail to find and use Good.

God is one of these, angels, Satan and devils may be others. Look for coincidences that may or may not be the work of such entities provided to us as either rewards or punishments, depending on our own thinking and practices.-----Again, I am not sure what you mean here. To me this makes the god-concept nothing more then sort of a dispenser of rewards, and I believe that when you say God is one of these, angels, it almost sounds like there would seem to be something beyond your god-concept. Of course, since I do not believe in the reality or real existence of ungood, I likewise do not believe that there is anything like what you call Satan, or some evil force with real existence.

..... Goodness and love work best in a society in which these are practised by ALL; our environment influences our own activities, even thoughts, and choosing the RIGHT friends, associates and environment is therefore very important.-----I totally agree with you on this. However, in an often earthbound society, in which we live, it is sometimes difficult to not interact with people who are less attuned to the realm of Good then we are. When it is necessary to react with those who do not have our understanding it is important for us to always maintain our understanding of truth and Good. WW2, is an example of a time when Good people often had to resort to ungood activities, for the moment on a temporary basis, in order to achieve what were ultimately Good results. The danger here is that it can sometimes be difficult for us to return to Good ways, for in all honesty acting on the earthbound level can sometimes appear to be pleasant and rewarding, even if the supposed rewards are only temporary. Right now, at this time, because of the events in New York last September, we have had to do certain things that are most certainly ungood, the problem here is, at least to me, that some of our leadership seems to get a great deal of pleasure out of what we are doing to others, no matter how ungood they appear to be.

Just a few thoughts for consideration.
