6321. I have been led to know, through experience, of the influx from angels and of a person's inability to live without it. There are malevolent spirits who have worked out artful ways of impeding an influx from the angels, though they do so only partially. They have been allowed to do it to me also so that I might know from experience what it was like. While those spirits were impeding the influx my ability to think ebbed and flowed, till at length I felt like those sinking into unconsciousness. But I was revived in an instant, and those spirits were cast away into their own hell. They appeared on the left on a level with the top of my head, where at first they lay out of sight.
