2921. When Abram was in a state of being humbled and of fleeing, so to speak, he imagined out of fear that the gyre would return after a certain amount of time, but it was given me to tell him that others like him can be adopted in his place (as happened for several days), who were entirely like him, so that one could not tell them and him apart, and he himself would not know but that it was Abram-which is an easy matter in the world of spirits-and that he could be reduced to a state in which he would no longer hear or be aware of those who worship him. This was also demonstrated, for others came up in his place and impersonated him so exactly that it was as if he himself were not Abram, as he was also made to perceive it. Abram hears these words, being now near the left foot. 1748, 25 Aug.
