1761. There are spirits who enter in, not in the manner of a flowing stream but by vibrations and reciprocations that are so to speak in lines, sounding more or less sharp. The same spirits enter in not only with their speech but also with the reply to it. They are those who, owing to many causes, reject the interior contents of the Word, looking on man as their tool and of little importance, and caring only about themselves.
