708. Moreover, I could not but marvel considerably at how gentle and calm the spirits of the inhabitants of Jupiter are. This I was allowed to learn due to the fact that for several days now, if not for a week, they have been with me, and obtained a place in my head [542, 553]. They are very gentle, and do nothing but think, and their thoughts are so yielding, that they allow themselves to be bent, simply at the good pleasure of the inward heaven or of their angels, and thus at the will of the one only Lord. They are patient, so that hardly the least bit of indignation is observed. When they notice that this or that is not granted them, they acquiesce at once, nor do the doubts of other [spirits] cling to them, but seem to leave them untouched. They are so [calm] that unless I had known of their presence from other indications, I could scarcely have known it from some change in their state of mind. Content in those things which are enjoined on them: these are their words. 1748, 10 February.
