MANIFESTING EVIL
When a person thinks a lustful (or vengeful etc.) thought, this creates a demonic soul – when a person actualizes that (for example in masturbation or an illicit relationship – one not sanctioned by G-d) this creates the body (in other words, there are physical demons, that then become attached to getting you to sin, for this is their energy) However by just having the thought, then this spirit desires a body (hence as the Talmud states, that at night it will cause one to dream and have an emission – it is worth noting that the Alter Rebbe teaches that by saying Shemah at night with full concentration one kills these demons. – In fact if one thinks about the meaning of this teaching, it can completely transform one.)
