1. Abdomen (Abdomen). [I:1]
A few spirits of the Moon speak as a huge thundering multitude. It was shown that this is how they spoke, and that they gurgled up speech from the abdomen. It was shown that they constitute the xiphoid cartilage, which is the fulcrum of the ribs and muscles as well as the entire abdomen, nos. 3241-3245, see Moon (Luna). Breathing withdrew from the navel toward the abdominal region in accord with the state of the Church, so that little breathing was felt above, thus [it was felt] farther downwards, until finally no [breathing was felt] of the chest. These were changes of inner breathing, no. 3324, see Church (Ecclesia). Pontiffs, when they sit in consistory, when another says [anything] that ought to be approved, because it is not from themselves, feel a creeping and rolling sensation in the abdomen, which was [also] communicated to me, besides many other details, no. 3662, see Pontiff (Pontifex). The anxiety of the most deceitful spirits above the head felt painfully in the region of the abdomen, no. 3997, see Deceit (Dolus).
