4699. About spirits with man

I did something, and I realized that it was with almost the same gesture as a certain spirit had made when he was a person on earth. Presently I spoke with him, and he said that he did not know it had come from him, but still realized that it was from him. I was surprised (slag olikskalet 1 ), and then spoke with others, saying that this is the case with spirits that are with man, and that they are not aware that they act upon people. But he said that he did not seem to himself to be doing the same thing, but something else that corresponded, so that he had flowed in by means of the interaction.
