2700. Such spirits were with me, (Solomon), and when he was present, all the spirits were compelled to go away to a distance so as not to be veiled over by that misty aura spoken of earlier [2681, 2683-5]. But as long as they were there, close above my head, or standing with their feet on my head, the spirits were extremely distressed, as they said several times. They could not bear anything that those [haughty] spirits were saying, being thus dislodged from their licentious state into a state of a kind of servitude that they absolutely could not endure. The auras in the spiritual world are arranged according to their inclinations and attitudes, and so are others in respect to them, thus with infinite variety. In human affairs likewise, for those who want to be free cannot stand the society of such people, either, but tear themselves away, being distressed in their company. 1748, 28 July.
