1366. About the holy spirit

Every person who is consciously led by some spirit, and even more, with whom a spirit speaks, supposes it to be the holy spirit. All fanatics think this, when yet they are unclean spirits whom they are calling the holy spirit, even adoring and worshipping as such. Those spirits love this, and think themselves thus to be the holy spirit, as you may see described elsewhere [4, 148 1/3, 423].
