Can anyone locate this C. S. Lewis subject?

[cats paw]

  I remember reading Lewis years ago, and he spoke of an "inner circle" that tempts people.  Perhaps I've read it here, or on a blog,
but I was wondering in which of his books I first read it.

Thanks,

Sounds like the Screwtape Letters to me, though can't say for certain.

Merci , Iphi !

  You crossed my mind as one of the people who might have an answer to this, and there you were .

   Hope you, your little one, and H are doing well.

   I'd better get off this computer, will have to Google that later, there's a heck of a thunderstorm here.

Hi Kitty,

Could you be thinking of the Inner Ring?

Kitty Foot,

When you come back, I'd like to hear more about this inner circle which tempts people.
Would you share, please?

Thank you!

Love,
Carolyn

Hi,

Thought some might be interested in these excerpts from Screwtape Letters. 

I am struck by the demonstration of affection between Screwtape and Wormwood.  All of Screwtapes letters to Wormwood begin with the salutation, My dear Wormwood and end with Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape up to the last chapter where Screwtape ends with, Your increasingly and ravenously affectionate uncle, Screwtape.  

Here's the link:  http://bama.ua.edu/~casey006/216/screwtape.html

Your increasingly and ravenously affectionate uncle, Screwtape.

  I found a really good, but lengthy article that was from a conference, and found the exact paragraph I remembered.  I'll come back later and try putting in the link.  ( I've still never attempted to do that, and I still two-finger type.  I need to write down copy and paste directions and have them by my side until I practice a few times. Thanks again to those of you in the past offering directions. )
 
  In the footnotes at the end of the article, it seems the Inner Ring is mentioned in many places in Lewis' works. 
 

  CB - Great to hear from you !  Yes, ring, not circle.  Thanks !

  Leah - I enjoy thunderstorms, too , but the power was going on and off !

  Carolyn - I'll come back and share, but these links CB and TT so kindly provided will be a good start.  If you haven't read anything by
               Lewis, I'll bet you'd really enjoy him.

  TT- I hadn't gotten back to respond to you when you wrote on another thread, but thank you.  I know your heart does under-
        stand.  I might have missed any updates, and if I have, or- if you haven't wanted to say, please feel free to ignore this next
        question, but I have been wondering- How is your mom ?

  Lighter - I know you're really into the Meyers-Briggs stuff currently, but I'll bet you'd really enjoy Lewis as well, especially those
              excerpts that TT provided the link to.  I'm in crunch time as well, I need to clean, sort, and start packing.

Off to do some 3D work !!

Leah,

  Please, by all means post the link!  Thank you for your consideration, but it will save me some time.  I won't get to try posting a
  link, but the info will be there for others to read if interested.

  If it's the same article, it was from a 2006 conference, and when googled, it comes up- C. S. Lewis Today: The "Great Permanent
  Mainspring" 2006 conference .... etc.

  The particular paragraph I wanted ends someting like- "it may end in.....but you will be a scoundrel. "

   What I also like is that there is differentiation of the Inner Ring and friendship.

Thanks!

Yes! Thank you, Kitty Foot.  Looking forward to hearing more about your own perspective of the ring... and what it means to you.

Love,
Carolyn
