1840. Certain kinds of spirits were introduced into a field of this kind, which can only be described as a realm of very pure thoughts that, with my clear awareness, surrounded my mind. They were speaking with me, and they likewise were being moved by that field to speak differently than was their custom, that is, to speak in agreement with that energy field. Their speaking was more fluid than usual, and their understanding of the subjects more complete, for this is the influence of fields. It is as if they are in a more intelligent state, or aura, so to speak. So that I would learn about this matter, spirits with now a gentler, now a harsher speech were introduced into the same field, and they too spoke differently than usual. They were moved by the field not only as to the flow of their speaking, but also as to their understanding of matters.
