5984. When spirits who are in the world of spirits wish to get in touch with a number of communities they usually send out subordinates, one to each individual community. I have noticed that evil spirits have sent out many round about, stationing them like a spider laying out its web, with those who do the sending out at the centre. And I have been astonished to see that they know how to do it as if by a kind of instinct; for those who knew nothing at all during their lifetime about such things do it in an instant in the next life. From this too one may see that contact is established through emissary spirits.
