1275. I was once in a community where there was a serenity, that is, the state of its members was serene, which came fairly near to being, but was not actually, a state of peace. I talked there about the state of small children, and also about place, to the effect that change of place and of distance is purely an appearance directly related to a person's state and change of state. When I was taken there the spirits about me seemed to be removed and to reappear below me, though I could still hear them speaking.
