So we got the physical realm around us. But also there's like a supernatural element around us. Like there's angels and demons around us. There's so much stuff going on. Like what? Spiritual warfare. Satan and all of his angels and all of our angels. I mean, there's a lot of forces at play.

We're not just roaming around this earth doing our own little jobs and living our own little lives, everyone doing their own little thing on this big ball. There's gotta be something more. There has to be something more than us just living our 80 years and then dying after 80 or 90, whatever, 60. And that gives meaning to life. That's why we struggle.

No, I envision the demons just trying to get us off path. Anything that they can do to get us off track. to create us to sin, to create more doubt in who God is, to have more pride, to be more independent. And what I mean is like not depending on God. So they're doing everything they can to distract us and separate us from God.

And so the angels are doing everything they can to help us stay focused on God. It's all about ordering everything to God. That's what it means to live a virtuous life and struggle for holiness every day.

Angels and demons? Mm-hmm. It's a battle. I mean, we would see them. But also, like, you know, I don't know. I don't see angels. I don't see demons. I know they're real, but they exist in a different realm than us. Like, it's... They're not bound by space and time. And so they don't sit around a desk and try to negotiate. We can't even fathom what that battle looks like.

Sparks going against each other. I don't know. But it's just like there's two forces pulling this world and everything in it two different directions. good and bad, light and dark, heaven or hell, whatever you want to call it. There's two forces that are at play.
