1940. When evil spirits intend evil against the good, then the communication is closed at once

It is remarkable, and noteworthy, that when evil spirits are permitted to intend some evil against the good, that evil cannot get through to the good. All and the very least of their intentions are blocked at once. By a spiritual mental image it is portrayed in this way, namely, as lines or rays that suddenly coalesce so that nothing gets inside. Thus it does not reach the good.
