Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

142. The speech of spirits with people on earth is in their own vernacular, or in other languages which the person is practiced in, not in their own, which they do not know at all. They prefer familiar and clear words that obviously follow from their mental images falling into words. They are not heard by anyone but the person being spoken with, even in the midst of company. See Speech. [Speak, Speech; Words, Expressions; Mental image; Language]
