1890. Spirits insist on controlling people

There was a great dispute with spirits about the fact that they wanted to control me. For they are concerned with having the greatest power, and this has happened so frequently that I can hardly number the occasions. They try to hold a person in submission to themselves, doing so sometimes with such great persistence that they would not let up. They would even plot treachery, angered against any others who approached, whom they considered were about to seize control.
