543.世人不可与任何灵人说话，但灵人可以与世人说话；令他们惊讶的是，我竟然和他们说了这么多。他们从这个事实能获知，我是另一种人，也就是说，不同于他们星球上的人。他们星球上的人在受到惩罚时，只可以说，他不再这样做了，但不可以告诉他本民中的任何人说，他与一个灵人说话。这将受到严厉的惩罚。
543. A person on earth should not speak with any spirit, but a spirit may with the person on earth, and they were surprised that I spoke so much with them. From this fact they were enabled to learn that I was of a different kind. The person is only permitted, when he is being punished, to speak these words, that he will do so no more. Nor is it permitted him to tell anyone of his own people that he had spoken with a spirit. This is severely punished.
543. A man ought not to speak with any spirit, but a spirit speaks with the man; and they wondered that I spoke so much with them. Hence they could know that there is another kind [of beings than those of their earth]. It is only allowable for a man [of their earth] when he is being punished, to say that he will do so no more; nor is he allowed to tell any of his people that he has spoken with a spirit: this is severely punished.
543. Homo non debet loqui cum aliquo spiritu, sed spiritus loquitur cum homine--et 1
mirati sunt, quod tam multa cum iis loquutus sum, inde scire potuerant, quod aliud genus essem--solum 2
licet homini loqui haec verba, quod non amplius ita faciet, quando punitur. Nec licet ei dicere alicui ex suis, quod cum spiritu loquutus sit, hoc severe punitur.
