915. In order that the quality of those who constitute the province of the infundibulum in the heavenly body might be made evident to me, there was a society of them which, as a single spirit, heard me speaking. Though it did not happen for me to speak with him, yet he either applied to himself whatever was said, supposing that it was said of him, or he became indignant, continually running toward me and to a distance away from me, in imitation of that flux in the ventricle, which is continually being carried to and fro from its vertex to its horn. These spirits are very impatient, and cannot be pinned down. Being quick they pay attention to particulars. As to whether they are bound to definite principles this cannot be supposed. Thus they are among interior excrementitious parts, are faint-hearted, inconstant, and suspicious.
