Today further experience made me realize that a spirit can do not the least thing on his own, even if he seems to himself able to think, speak, and do everything. The experience is so abundant that if all the rest should be brought forward, it would fill every page. Here I can say only this, that today spirits were told that they are powerless of themselves, at which they were indignant and said that they were able to act of themselves. So they were shown that they could do nothing, although being permitted to speak. I saw in a spiritual mental image that there was a kind of limited field, the boundaries of which they could not possibly overstep. So these fields were shown them, and when the spirits tried to go beyond them, or speak beyond them, they were powerless to do so.
