3354. The same spirits also, or descendants of the most ancient Church, were thinking themselves to be so refined that no one would notice them, and they told me they thought they could do good from their own power. I spoke with them on this subject, also about the Lord, that they had awaited Him, among other things, Whom they also could worship, albeit from their own power. To show them this, an angel just thought about these things, and this thought was communicated to them and portrayed as a puff of breath, thus like a gust of wind, which I also felt, and which they said they could not endure. They wanted to flee away, but because it stopped, they remained. 1748, 26 Sept.
