1249. Some arrogant spirits, when they appear, at once show me their arrogant attitude. In other words, they appear large, due to their arrogance, and in comparison with them, all the rest look small and almost like nothing, thus despicable. But when one of them thought that all were nothing compared to himself, he was sent by a spiritual portrayal among those despised, and then he seemed to himself to be small, and the others larger. This made him extremely indignant, yet it enabled him to reflect on what he was like; and then he was let back again among the infernals. 1748, 9 March.
