Besides the abilities of spirits spoken of before [400], namely, of possessing every human language as their own mother tongue, and of putting on a person's memory as their own, they also have from God the Messiah, the ability to look into people and see the least details pertaining to their life. Now this was portrayed by some objects being removed from someone, like a bubble, and objects resembling a bubble that also seemed to be taken away; and as if they had been informed in this manner, they at once told what it was. One time this was also done by what looked like a cloud removed from a soul, while in the meantime, the person continues in an altered condition. From me too they removed little bubbles like these (although they are only a symbolic portrayal), and then they saw specific details of my life. So they see such things from one little bubble or part. Moreover, they also look intently at loves, inclinations, and feelings, as well as matters retained in the memory that are clearly displayed to the eye. I was extremely surprised when [I realized] that they had been able to see with their eyes not only someone's single mental images, but even their tiniest feelings. Spiritual life is such that these things can be brought out for scrutiny, unlike the life of the body. 1747, the 30th day of December.
