1105. For quite a considerable time - several weeks - the celestial have been present with me, occupying the region of my head. They have not spoken but only think, and this so tacitly that I did not know what they were thinking, except that they made all the fallacies and falsities of the spiritual to be of no account, thus ridiculous, not at all by scoffing at them, but as if by caring nothing for them and remaining in their own tranquil state. Although they think, they rarely spoke, but still I clearly observed their presence, indeed more clearly than can be expressed. Now also they have spoken with me but not as the spiritual speak, but inwardly, without sound. It is a speech, if any one can conceive it, like speech without its sound. And now they speak even by words, which they rarely do. It is an indication that in this manner they also begin to speak with souls after death, whom they do not desert, but remain closely attached to them as to the region of the head.
