i got to thinking of mccoy when i read and reread lesson 94: Does Evil Exist?

"Through the good force we see the solution of problems, but that evil force keeps on creating new misunderstandings." PY

In lesson 94 Paramahansa Yogananda explains what evil is!! It is a break through in our understanding! God saw that there was no one to enjoy him but Himself. Since everything is part of God, the only way God could create a sense of individuality was to cast over all the illusion of separateness, which is called Maya and thus began the force of evil that is personified in Satan. PY further explains the reasoning of the archangel Satan and his function in creation.
"People will be so interested in the exciting changes of Maya that they will forget they are immortal Sons of God and that they can return to him." ~ Satan
He felt that if creation should seize to exist then he would also. So he perpetuates the storm of delusion so he can have a separate existence.
