1661. Moreover, an angel spoke with me through spirits, which was done from the interior towards the exterior; this was observed by the spirits of the earth Jupiter, that thus they might know that the speech, as long as spirits are the speakers, is by a way from the exterior, while the speech of angels is by a way from the interior. - 1748, March 23. Angels act from the interior, while I perceive [the operation]; it is by the motion of the lips, but still from the interior. It is also from the interior when the left eye is effected, but this I do not perceive.
1661. Praeterea angelus loquebatur mecum per spiritus, quod fiebat ab interior versus exteriora, quod animadvertebant spiritus telluris Jovis, sic ut scirent, quod loquela, quamdiu spiritus sunt, sit per viam ab exteriori, et quod loquela angelorum sit per viam ab interiori. 1748, 23 Martius. Angeli agunt ab interiori, dum percipio, labiorum, sed ab interiori; tum ab interiori oculi sinistri, quae non percipio.
