EXPLANATIONS

Ground to be given up: e.g., a thought or belief discovered as deception, and "given up."

Ground which admits e.s. keeps e.s. in possession: e.g., e.s. works on passivity which is ground for them to work upon. If not removed keeps e.s. in possession.

Ground to be re-taken from the foe: e.g., the faculties recovered for use. [8.9]

Ground newly given: e.g., a new deception through believing one of e.s. lies.



Notes. All supernatural manifestations by e.s. in believer denote that there is ground for their workings. See [6.24], [7.0], [11.17]

The believer fighting to freedom, must watch lest new ground is given by wrong interpretation of manifestations of e.s. [7.24] see tables on [7.25]

Need of watchfulness against "excuses" suggested by e.s. to cover ground, or divert dealing with it. [7.24]

For further knowledge of "ground" see Column Lists [102], [8.3]
