1968. Enthusiastic spirits are similar, but their visions centre round things that ought to be believed, of which they are so strongly convinced and convince others that they are prepared to swear that something false is true, or that an illusion is a reality. Much from experience could be related concerning the disposition of those spirits, but in the Lord's Divine mercy these will be dealt with separately as a specific subject. It is a disposition which they have acquired from persuasions and false assumptions when they lived in the world.
