4656. Once there was a spirit who spoke to me, doing so next to my left auricle, to the rear part of it where the elevator muscles of the auricle are placed. He told me that he had been sent to me to say that he did not reflect at all on what others said but merely took it in with his ears. When he spoke he seemed to belch out each word, and said that this was how he actually spoke. From this I was allowed to see that his speech had no interior content and thus little life, and that this was the reason why he belched his words out I was told that the kind of people who pay little attention to what anything really means are ones who belong to the cartilage-like and bony part of the outer ear.
