543. A person on earth should not speak with any spirit, but a spirit may with the person on earth, and they were surprised that I spoke so much with them. From this fact they were enabled to learn that I was of a different kind. The person is only permitted, when he is being punished, to speak these words, that he will do so no more. Nor is it permitted him to tell anyone of his own people that he had spoken with a spirit. This is severely punished.
