1487. How spiritual mental imagery serves to uncover the intentions of others
Because the mental imagery of spirits, especially of good spirits (not to mention, of angels), is very complete, and they perceive what is in the intention of a person or a soul, therefore, whenever those mental images are granted by the Lord to a spirit, he is able to find out what their intentions are, and more that cannot as yet be described. But this knowledge he has from the Lord, when he is looking to what is true. 1748, 18 March. If they imagine that they have this of their own power, then they take hold of falsities instead of truths.
1487. HOW SPIRITUAL IDEAS [SERVE] IN DISCLOSING THE MIND [animus] OF OTHERS
Because the ideas of spirits, especially of good spirits (not to mention angels) are very full, and they perceive those things in a man or soul which pertain to his "animus," therefore, when such ideas are granted by the Lord to a spirit, he can know the quality of another's "animus", and many things which cannot as yet be described. But this is from the Lord when the spirit regards those things that are true. 1748, Mar. 18. If spirits suppose they have this from themselves, they then seize upon falses as truths.
1487. Quomodo spirituales ideae [inserviunt] in detegendis aliorum animis
Quia ideae spirituum, cumprimis bonorum, (ne dicam angelorum) pleniores sunt, et percipiunt quae in homine et anima, ejus animi sunt, ideo quoque, dum tales ideae a Domino, spiritui conceduntur, tunc scire potest, quales animi ejus sunt, et plura quae adhuc non possunt describi: sed haec a Domino, dum ea quae vera sunt, spectat. 1748, 18 Martius. Si a semet putant id habere, tunc falsa arripiunt, pro veris.
