1864. One of this type came to me, dressed like a nobleman, but I could not see his face. At his first approach, he insinuated by means of thoughts, as people do in the world by means of put on facial expressions, that he had many things he wanted to share with me, asking whether I was a Christian. I answered him that I was, which he also admitted that he knew. He asked if he could be alone with me, because he had something to tell me that he did not want others to hear. But when I replied that one cannot be alone in the other life as one person with another on earth, and that one could not speak without many spirits being present, then he came closer and went right below the occiput, behind me, which made me realize, as was also said, that he was a bandit. While he was there, I felt something like a stab through my heart, and after that also in my brain, one that would easily cause a person on earth to die. What technique he employed I do not know, I only felt as if it were something deadly, and he thought that I was dead. But because this was not the case, he told me that he had just come away from a person whom he had killed, and, in fact, with a dagger, from behind. He said he had developed a technique of doing this such that the person did not know what was happening before he fell down dead. And he himself would be regarded as guiltless-in fact, no wound appeared. But because I was protected by the Lord, being kept safe from such attacks, I was not at all afraid.
