They said further that another kind of spirits who go in troops, frequently come to them, desiring to know how things are with them, and that by various methods they draw out of them what they know. Concerning these they said that they are not insane, except in the fact that they have so great a desire to know, for no other use than to know. They were afterward instructed that these spirits are from the planet Mercury, and that knowledge and the derivative intelligence alone delight them, and not so much uses resulting from these, unless indeed knowledge is to them use (see n. 6811, 6815, 6921-6932, 7069-7079, 7170-7177).

They also said that another kind of spirits who move around in troops frequently approach them, desiring to know what things are like among them, and by various methods they elicit from them the things they know. They said that these spirits are not insane, except in their wishing to know so many things for no other purpose than that they may know them. Afterwards they were told that those spirits come from the planet Mercury. Knowledge and the resulting intelligence alone delight such spirits, rather than the useful services that result from them, unless the useful services are also a matter of knowledge to them, 6811, 6815, 6921-6932, 7069-7079, 7170-7177.
