Spirits, when speaking with anyone, speak in that person's language as if it were their mother tongue, and do not know otherwise than that they had been born in that land and been brought up in that language. It is as if it were their mother tongue, and they do not know better unless they are allowed to reflect back. So spirits from Europe and other parts of the earth who had died several thousand years ago, have spoken with me in my language, which they knew as well as I did, unaware that it was my mother tongue and thus belonged to a foreign region, until this was told them. In fact, if the Lord so wishes, they speak much more accurately and rapidly than one native to that region and raised in that language, as I as well have experienced.
