3003. A certain spirit was convinced that he could do all things by such gazes, because they do occur by permission. So he became so used to calling forth other spirits and drawing them to himself by means of that kind of looking, that from habit he presented himself entirely in the person of the other, so that he almost believed that he was the other, just as some raving, insane people do who are therefore set apart from human society in the world. He was now looking with such a strong gaze that he was almost convinced he was the person of the other, and this with variety since the look was directed to many who were all being joined to him in such a way that they could not draw themselves back, and those he was impersonating seemed to be with him, even in the lowest earth. There those also appeared on whom he had fixed his gaze so persuasively. So I perceived his convincing look as a Las som kommer utur led, som intet kan wridas tilbakas.* So he is like those raving people in the world, as was also confirmed. Those whom he was thus attracting also complained that they could not be set free. He had no effect on those who had true faith. * Swedish for "a lock that gets out of line that cannot be twisted back."
