240. THAT THERE ARE ALSO SIRENS IN THE ULTIMATE HEAVEN The worst of all the female spirits are those who may be called sirens; for they disguise their deceits under a veil of innocence with so much guile that everyone would be ensnared, unless the deceit were disclosed by God Messiah. Such was she who was spoken of on the preceding page, 1747, Nov. 3, under the heading - The punishment of a sorceress [n. 232]. Whatever can be found in a man which they can draw forth, that they draw forth for the falsification of the truth: thus care must be taken lest anything false enter in unless it is shaken off.
