85. How spirits raise up mental images out of a person's memory, which fall into words of speech. [Mental image (Idea); Speak, Speech; Memory; Words, expressions] Spirits quickly steal away and hide the things [in a person's memory that] they are averse to. [Memory; Ignorance; Spirit] Spirits speak as hastily [as possible], and sometimes more quickly than people on earth, and in fact, with the usual rhythms [cf. 54a]. See Gyre and Choir and Form.* [Rhythm; Speak, Speech] * See Experiences Spirituales, Vol I, p. xxxi, locus 5.
