2129. When societies of the evil have ganged together, they are dispersed in other ways also

Above [2121-7], the troop of spirits was spoken of who dispersed groups of evil spirits, to whom in the Word the "east Wind" corresponds. But besides this, there are countless methods of breaking up groups of that kind, as many in the individual as in the aggregate, such as when mental images with any spirit or soul are bunched together, and then dispersed. I have not been enabled to learn all the methods, but I was told that they exist. Corresponding to them in the body are all the solvent fluids, countless in number, and each suited to [the dissolution] of some small conglutinated particle, as is known in the case of the salivary solvents, and of those which come out of the liver. In the same way, each and every wrong gathering together of groups has its own dissolving method.
