9105. After the spirits belonging to Saturn had spoken to those belonging to our planet, they spoke to me from there through intermediary spirits. They said they were astonished that they should be approached so many times by spirits from our planet who ask them which God they worship. And when they realize that spirits belonging to our planet are asking such things they reply that they are insane; for nothing can be more insane than to ask which God someone worships, when yet there is only one God for everyone in the universe. They add that what makes them even more insane is their not knowing that the Lord is that one and only God, and that He rules the whole of heaven and consequently the whole world. For whoever rules heaven also rules the world, since the world is ruled through heaven.
