1182. Now when I had been obsessed by this spirit, and also even had some misgivings regarding the inward heaven, namely that those might also be in danger of being led astray who do not believe very inward [truths]-then it was made clear to me that it was a habitation of that kind of angels which was thinking in this way, and that they were putting their own thoughts into me, and so, keeping me obsessed. These same spirits do not readily acknowledge anything that is the Lord's, except what comes directly from Him. For example, [they do not readily acknowledge] that I have been told about things to come, or about things far away.
