20、水星灵完全不同于我们地球灵，因为我们地球灵对概念不像对世俗、肉体和尘质的事物，也就是物质那样感兴趣。因此，水星灵无法与我们星球的灵人呆在一起，不管在哪里碰到他们，水星灵都会逃开。因为他们各自所发出的属灵气场几乎完全相反。水星灵有一句俗语：他们不想看到包装，只想看到脱去包装的概念，也就是里面的事物。
20. The spirits from Mercury are completely different from the spirits from our planet, because the spirits from our planet attach no value to anything except what is worldly, physical, and earthly-what is made of matter. This means that spirits from Mercury cannot be together with spirits from our planet; wherever they encounter spirits from our planet, they beat a hasty retreat. The spiritual auras that radiate from each are almost exactly opposite.
Spirits from Mercury are fond of saying that they have no interest in looking at the husk but only at things stripped of their husk-deeper things, that is.
20. The spirits of Mercury are totally different from the spirits of our world, since these are not so much interested in ideas as in worldly, bodily and earthly matters, which are material objects. For this reason the spirits of Mercury are unable to associate with the spirits of our world, and wherever they meet them, they run away. The spiritual spheres which emanate from either party are more or less antagonistic. The spirits of Mercury claim that they do not wish to look at the wrapping, but the ideas stripped of their wrappings, that is, what is inside.
20. The spirits of Mercury differ altogether from the spirits of our earth, for the spirits of our earth do not care so much about realities, but about worldly, corporeal, and terrestrial things, which are material; wherefore the spirits of Mercury cannot be together with the spirits of our earth, therefore wheresoever they happen to meet them, they flee away; for the spiritual spheres, which are exhaled from each, are almost contrary. The spirits of Mercury have a common saying, that they do not wish to look at a sheath, but at things stripped of their sheath, that is, at interior things.
20. Mercurii spiritus differunt prorsus a spiritibus nostrae telluris, nam spiritus nostrae telluris res non ita curant, sed mundanas, corporea et terrestria, quae sunt materialia; quapropter Mercurii spiritus cum nostrae telluris spiritibus non simul esse possunt, ideo ubicunque hos offendunt, aufugiunt; sphaerae enim spirituales, quae ex utrisque exhalatur, sunt paene contrariae. Spiritus Mercurii in ore ferunt, quod non spectare velint vaginam, sed res a vagina sua nudatas, ita interiora.
