913. CONCERNING THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE INFUNDIBULUM OF THE BRAIN First, above an azure window a face was seen by me, which presently withdrew within. Then also were seen small stars about the region of the left eye, and soon afterwards a number of very small glittering stars at a great distance from me and high up. These were spiritual stars, for they sparkled with a white light (like brilliants).* I was then shown walls but no roof; the walls were only on the left side. Presently was seen the starry heaven with many stars; and because it was in a part somewhat lower, on a level with the arm and around the quarter where are the deceitful, I supposed there was something horrible that would be presented to my sight. But soon afterwards the wall and the sky disappeared, and a well appeared to me, from which went something like a bright mist or vapour, like smoke which is hardly seen. It also seemed as if something was being pumped out of the well. * The MS. has (som brillianter) in Swedish, meaning like finely cut diamonds or brilliants.
