2121. About the east wind

It has happened that certain spirits who were near me, in order to stay for a time, had joined themselves together into vicious groups that could hardly be controlled any more in an orderly fashion. This was also proven when one group, ganging up in this way, began to harass someone, and to push him around in a really insolent manner, constantly trying to bring harm upon him. These actions, and their hostile schemes as well, which heavenly spirits and angels were able to observe, showed that their societies had been organized by them to bring destruction upon many, which is the usual case when they are left more or less to themselves.
