It was observed that souls and spirits are transferred upwards and downwards, also from one residence to another, sometimes in an instant or the wink of an eye. But this is an illusion of the senses, just like height and depth. The reason seems to be that the human organism is designed to interact with the heavens, so that due to given [spiritual] changes answering to movements from place to place, such movements appear in the heavens on account of the interaction. For the most part they are illusions that prevail there, of which there are so many that they cannot be numbered, and at which spirits are amazed. 1747, the 15th day of December.
