7170. CONTINUATION ABOUT THE SPIRITS AND INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH MERCURY. The spirits of Mercury appeared at the left in a ball, and afterward in a roll stretching a long way, and next in a mass extending in length; and I wondered whither they desired to go, whether to this earth or elsewhere, and presently I observed that they bent themselves back to the right, and by unrolling themselves approached the earth Venus, on the side that is turned away from the sun. But when they came there, they said that they did not desire to be there, because the inhabitants were evil; therefore they bent themselves round to the other side of that earth, which looks to the sun, and then said that they desired to stay there, because the inhabitants were good. When this had taken place, I felt in the brain a remarkable change, and a strong operation from there. From this it was given to conclude that the spirits of Venus who are on that side of the planet were in accord with the spirits of the planet Mercury, and that they have relation to the memory of material things, which agrees with the memory of immaterial things, which the spirits of Mercury constitute; and therefore a stronger operation was felt from them when they were there.

7170. SPIRITS AND INHABITANTS OF THE PLANET MERCURY - continued
A group of spirits belonging to Mercury once appeared on the left in the shape of a ball, and after that in the shape of a scroll. I wondered where they wanted to go, whether towards our planet or another one, soon after which I noticed that they turned themselves round to face the right, and then rolled up close to the planet Venus, to the side away from the sun. But when they got there they said they did not wish to be there because the people were bad. They therefore bore round to the other side of that planet which faces the sun, where they then said they wished to stay because the people there were good. After their arrival I felt a remarkable change in my brain and powerful action as a result of it. From this I was led to conclude that the spirits belonging to Venus who lived on that other side of the planet were in tune with the spirits belonging to the planet Mercury, and that they correlated with the memory of material things. This memory harmonizes with the memory of immaterial things that the spirits belonging to Mercury constitute. This is why I felt the more powerful action by them when they were there.

7170. Continuatio de Spiritibus et de Incolis Telluris MercuriiApparebant spiritus Mercurii ad sinistrum in globo, et dein in volumine extendente se in longum; et miratus quo vellent num ad hanc tellurem vel alio, et mox animadvertebam quod reflecterent se dextrorsum, et {1} se {2}revolvendo approximarent ad tellurem Veneris, ad plagam ejus aversam a sole; sed cum illuc venirent, dicebant quod ibi esse nollent quia mali; quare se circumflectebant ad alteram partem istius telluris qua spectat solem, et tunc dicebant quod ibi morari vellent, quia illi qui ibi sunt boni. Hoc cum factum erat, sentiebam in cerebro mutationem insignem et operationem fortem inde. Ex {3}illis concludere dabatur quod spiritus Veneris qui ab {4}illa parte planetae sunt concordarent cum spiritibus planetae Mercurii, et quod illi referrent memoriam rerum (x)materialium, concordantem cum memoria rerum immaterialium, quam spiritus Mercurii constituunt; inde operatio fortior sentita est ab illis cum ibi essent. @1 i dein$ @2 revolvendo altered to revolverent et$ @3 quibus$ @4 ista$
