I think Satan can enter wherever we grant him access, including in our minds and hearts in the Temple. For example, sometimes I get really inappropriate thoughts in the Temple, most often because I'm worried about thinking such thoughts, and of course the worry causes me to let down my defenses down and the boobs rush in.
But in all seriousness, I don't like this doctrine/teaching. Understanding the language of the Spirit is hard enough to have interference from an imposter jamming up the signal. In fact, I dislike it sufficiently so as to reject it. The only Spirit-imitating imposter are my own feelings, and that's where I find the dilemma: is the source for these feelings internal or external?
