Those who had been born and brought up as Christians and go over to Judaism, either openly or in secret within themselves, in the other life become as if insane. Among spirits, the kind of insane people that there are in bodily life cannot exist. Their insanity consists of raving with the same kind of fantasies those have who are thought to be sane in bodily life. But those who go over to Judaism are like maniacs, and when they come among other spirits, they behave as such, laying hold of everyone they meet, and pushing them along, just like someone out of their mind. I saw one today toward the front, a little higher than the forehead, but from a distance, who carried on in this way. Such spirits, however, are soon expelled from societies, and are sunk down. He then seemed to himself to have laid hold on some spirit, and to have turned him around. Where he went after being sunk down, I do not as yet know. 1748, 27 May.
