929. At times, something like very sharp little spikes appeared to me, threatening the head of this soul, so that I feared he might be hurt, for such things usually bring on pain, generally fright, as if sharp points or the tips of swords should fall on someone's head. This means that such souls are thinking something different than they would like to say, as I was also told, for everything that is sharp symbolizes deceit, or cunning. 1748, 21 February.
