This they did not want at all to happen, for it is forbidden for them, and punishable, to publish anything spirits tell them. They were likewise surprised that such things could be published throughout the planet, because they are unfamiliar with any region beyond their own, where their relatives are.
554. Furthermore, they wondered that I said I was going to tell the inhabitants of this earth the various things I had heard about them. They were altogether unwilling that I should do so, because it is forbidden them under penalty to divulge what the spirits say to them. They also wondered that such things can be published throughout the earth, for they know nothing except their own province, where their kindred are.
