2961. Those who are lifted up very high overhead grasp the meaning of the words without being disturbed by the words

I have observed earlier [cf. 119a], and just now also, that those who are lifted up high above the head-not by their own power through fantasies and by fantasies, but by the Lord's grace-these contemplate my writings, thoughts, and speech without interference from words poured in by evil spirits, who habitually become stuck in words and then do not understand the meaning, but confuse it, some by their nature, some craftily and deceitfully. 1748, 28 Aug.
