1586. The same spirit was transferred into a different state of mind, so that he could reflect on his own life, and thus see himself as if in a mirror, so to speak. He then admitted that he saw himself as so hideous, filthy, and abounding in wicked deeds, that he shuddered at himself. A spirit can be thus transferred as if outside of himself, or inside of himself, and thus brought to recognize himself. 1748, 20 March.
