2754. The most deceitful spirits sometimes appear high overhead, but their hell is deep down beneath the heel. They are the modern equivalents of those before the Flood. They entice by means of innocence, by means of mercy, and with persuasion by means of various good affections. When they lived in the world they were adulterers more than all others. Wherever there was a young and beautiful wife they went in without any conscience and by such means roused her to be wanton. They are invisible, nor do they wish to be exposed, for they act without being detected. They are also cruel, for they have studied only themselves and have considered it of no importance even if the whole world perished for them. Large numbers of such spirits exist at the present time, and I have been told that they come from Christendom. Their hell is the most oppressive of all.
