984. Among spirits, there are likewise those who function more or less like the ligaments in the body. Those relating to the inner ligaments are spirits nearby, who stood beside me. Some were put there so that societies at a distance from me would be aware of the thoughts within me as if they were present. This is very common among all spirits, and they know instinctively how to get hold of their own emissaries, who station themselves around the region of the head. Then whatever comes in or is thought, they see as if they themselves were there. In this way communications are established with those who are a great distance away, even if they might be in a different universe.
