3134. Spirits speak the things that others are inwardly thinking

It is known that there are speaking mediums, and the one who is speaking speaks from the thoughts of others, which has just now been made very obvious to me when one was speaking, and I thought it to be a certain one, when yet he who was speaking was not that one. Presently another said that the first one was speaking the things the other was thinking inwardly, which could not be prevented. This shows that the things mediums speak are the thoughts of others, as I have noticed many times previously [see 1252-5, 2099-2101, 2316, 2376, 2969, 3072]. 1748, 12 Sept.
