308. They who are being conducted to their own habitations seem to be transported by carriage

Today for the third time, I learned from experience that those who are being conducted to their own habitations, as was told before [297-99], believe they are being driven by carriage and thus being carried about as if by labyrinthine routes. For they go back and forth, so that they may arrive at that habitation where there are those of almost the same character. With these they stay, until God the Messiah mercifully sees fit to take them away from there and move them to some better habitation. I spoke with some who were in a carriage, and they said that they do not know otherwise than that they are being driven. 1747, the 5th day of December.
