• Can you provide a spiritual explanation of sin and evil?
• Why is it that all spiritual teachings in the past speak of sin instead of sickness or neurosis?
• Is evil a condition which results from an actual fall from grace? And what is its relationship to Lucifer in the Old and New Testaments?
In this teaching from the Pathwork Guide, sin and evil are revealed not as inherent badness, but as distortions born from ignorance and inner misunderstanding.
Rather than something to fear or condemn, what we call “evil” is shown to be a misguided attempt at self-protection—rooted in false beliefs about ourselves and life.
Jill Loree is the founder of Phoenesse and a longtime student of the Pathwork teachings. She has studied the Pathwork Guide’s material since 1997 and completed four years of training to become a certified Pathwork Helper.
When she first encountered the Pathwork teachings, she described the experience as “walking through the doorway of an AA fourth step and finding the whole library.”
Through Phoenesse, Jill writes and teaches about personal transformation using the spiritual psychology found in the Pathwork lectures.
Her books present these teachings in clear, accessible language to help readers apply them in everyday life. Her work focuses on helping people move from the struggles of duality toward the peace of inner unity.
Raised in northern Wisconsin, Jill began her professional career in technical sales and marketing before discovering that her true calling lay in spiritual teaching and writing.
She lives in New York with her husband, Scott Wisler, who now works with her in sharing these teachings around the world.
