1030. About introduction into gyres

When spirits are being introduced into spiraling gyres, so that their outward qualities may agree with their inward ones, that is, so that their speaking may agree with their inner feeling, called thinking, then the spirit in question is driven to speaking faster and forced to have the thinking follow. Yet because he is not used to having his thinking follow his speaking, this is done reluctantly, and consequently painfully.
