569. When an evil spirit of the earth Jupiter was at my side, wanting to reprove me for things I had thought and done, the angels of that earth were also present, as mentioned earlier [541-42]. They were then holding up my face, especially the area around the lips - my mouth open, and my expression ever cheerful and laughing. Later I was told that this is the way they keep the inhabitants of that region, so that they have a cheerful countenance, not a sad one, for the reason, as it seems, that angels are present. The evil spirit did not know otherwise than that it was an inhabitant of his earth at whose side he was standing. 1748, the 26th day of January.
