7070. Since the spirits from Mercury correlate in the Grand Man with the memory of things devoid of their material associations, 6808, they are totally unwilling to listen when anyone talks to them about earthly, bodily, or merely worldly things. And when they are compelled to listen to any talk about them, they turn those things into different ones, for the most part contrary things, in order to get away from them.
