1677. These spirits were amazed when I said that these matters can be written down and then published throughout the world, and can thus by means of writing be made known to many thousands. They said that such an art is not allowed, imagining that it must be magic. But I told them that this art is known to everyone on our planet, and thus allowable, as well as necessary, because there is no one on this earth as far as I know with whom spirits speak, as on other earths, and so they cannot be corrected by that method. People on this earth do know from revelation that there is a heaven, that there are spirits and angels, that there is a life after death, yet, very few believe it because they do not speak with those in the other life. At this they were satisfied, and 0 convinced that it was necessary for people on this earth, but not for them on their own earth, because they are taught in various ways by angels. These words, starting with the symbol 0 are their words, written down from their mouth, or their thought.
