6000. Spirits are their affection, and people's faith is such as is the nature of their affection

A few months after his death, I spoke with a certain spirit who had been King of England, saying that a spirit is his own affection, which is evident from the fact that his facial expression varies in so far as another spirit speaks in agreement with his affection or in opposition to it, or if it is entirely opposite, he vanishes without going through doors, and no one knows how. What happened then was that one spirit was enabled to change the affections of another in many ways and that his facial expression varied similarly. He was given the ability to change the nature of the affections that were in him, and eventually, when he had instilled the opposite of the dominant affection, the other spirit was not seen.
