3000. Some who wanted to do good from their own powers
While I was praying the Lord's prayer, some were attracting all the meaning a way from me to themselves, so that I could not have the meaning and thus an inner sight of the contents of the prayer, as at other times. So I had to pause as often in the beginning or in the middle of the prayer, for those who attract the meaning to themselves want me to serve them as a slave or a tool and themselves to be the masters. And so they were praying by themselves, but not in company with me, which happened as often as good spirits, or angelic spirits, prayed in company with me. Then I felt the attraction toward the Lord spoken of earlier [258, 300] as coming from the Lord. But this also varied, namely their being received to pray in company, because they were good, and indeed, out of grace, as I also realized. But when it happened without this kind of conscious reception, when done by angelic spirits, it was [a praying] together with angelic spirits, and then there was an uplifting.
