2478. So that I might know the implications of man's being unable to think from his own memory if spirits were to flow in from their own exterior memory, such a thing was allowed to happen to me two or three times. I knew no other on those occasions than that what was my own was not my own but a spirit's, and that I had thought things previously which I had not thought. All this I was unable to appreciate until they had departed.
