1762. There are spirits who do not use speech but who have expressed their feelings by means of changes imposed on my own face. They presented their ideas so vividly that their thought was consequently given visible form so to speak. This was achieved by means of variations around the region of the lips, passing from there to the face, and then, when communicating their interior feelings, around the eyes - around the left eye when communicating truths and affections for truth, around the right when communicating goods and affections for good.
