1493. As they are being let down through that black hole, they are struck with a kind of terror or (fasa),* such as when one is in very dark diggings, and panics. At the same time as that horror strikes them, they are held in their passion for revenge, and the longer that passion lasts and increases, the deeper they are let down-even to the other side of the earth, which they seem to be passing through; but this happens in a variety of ways. For through what was symbolically portrayed it is quite clear to spirits, as well as to myself, whether they are holding in their hatreds, and thus keeping them from breaking out, or whether they are erupting. If their hatreds are not breaking out, they are turned about hither and thither [until they do];** so this varies according to the different kinds of hatred, and other such circumstances. They are struck with a horror, as already mentioned, such as one experiences in passageways and pitch-black caverns in mountains, and which is now intensified, now diminished. * Swedish for "horror." ** See index at Vindicta.
