1791. About those who constitute the phlegm in the Brain
There is a certain kind of spirits who, because they want to dominate and control people by themselves, stir up hostility amongst other spirits, even fights to the point of insanity. For those spirits whom they stir up fight each other like the bitterest enemies, and even those whom they know are on their side. I have seen such fights, and I was amazed, asking what was going on, and I was told it was that kind of spirits stirring things up because they want to have sole control.
