2892. A certain one spoke with me, saying that he was the one, adding that he could work through the inward regions of thoughts, and does not know how this could be possible, since in the life of the body he had never thought in this way, but had only had thoughts composed of simple ideas, and he now realizes that he is in an in-ward realm, because he details others' simple mental images with many of his own. He calls this filling up someone's single idea with many, a process of which an earthly human or a spirit, who has such single ideas, is unaware. 1748, 23 Aug.
