Just as the largest Society, due to the presence of the Lord Himself, is a Human Entity, thus making up the Body of the Lord, for the Lord is its life-so also all groups are also human entities, and bodies. I was shown today that a group is a human entity or composite person, for humankind does not rule itself, but is ruled through spirits by the Lord. The same applies to spirits making up a society. Such as the greatest unit is, so are the lesser divisions, and the least, consequently such are the societies, with all their variety. 1748, 14 June.
