490. Those hymns which two infantile choirs formed could not be disturbed by phantasies. A certain phantastic spirit wanted to disturb them, but his phantasies were as if of no account, so that I could thence conclude what influx phantasies have into spiritual and celestial and thus into angelic things: for they are too gross to operate any alteration, and it was as though something heavy wanted to flow into that which is subtle, or an effect into its principles, or as the body into the soul, which is altogether contradictory, as human philosophy can well know. Thus things corporeal and natural cannot enter into those that are truly spiritual and celestial. 1748, Jan. 18.
