8385. They saw that I thought I would like to make known on our planet such matters; but they did not wish me to do so because they are forbidden to divulge what their spirits tell them. They were amazed that such matters could be made known simply by means of written words, at which point I told them about printing on our planet, as well as about the Word and also about teachings formulated by the Church. I said that the Word and such teachings, available as a result of having appeared in print, are learned by that means.
