1482. The condition for spirits and angels is such that none of them can think anything that all the rest who are nearby do not understand and perceive. Nor have I now for almost several years been able to think anything that all those present were not aware of. In the beginning I was angered by this, thinking that I would never be able to be in their company, because I could think nothing to my-self, without them all knowing it. Later, however, when I realized that the Lord was leading the thoughts of all, this gave me no trouble.
