2577. About the spirits of the inward realm

When license is yielded to the evil ones in that realm to behave according to their intentions, then they contrive countless inventions, and indeed so profane and filthy that a person on earth cannot conceive that such things exist. For when that condition prevails among them, then whatever object occurs they turn into inventions matching their state, and furthermore, anything whatever that they notice to be opposed or contrary to the upright, they seize upon, and turn upside down, corrupt into filthy inventions and schemes, something their intentions concocted to be shuddered at, that I am not permitted to publish because of its filthiness.
