1247. When they were asking where they were, and still thinking themselves to be the greatest, despising the rest in comparison with themselves, I was inspired to speak to them, saying that they were in a chamber in hell. This was proven to them in various ways. And when they wanted to move on into other societies and not be kept where they were, thus to be free, they were told that they cannot be anywhere else, in fact that if they were allowed to go off wherever they liked, they would still fall back of themselves into the same society, thus into the hellish Chamber. Therefore it is they themselves who cast themselves down there, for they cannot desist from that kind of arrogance and the treachery that goes with it. So that they would find this out, they were let out to wander around, but immediately they fell back of their own accord. These qualities hold their mind captive, and bring them back. They love to be in the dark, saying it is delightful-but so that no one may hear.
