SD 597 - spirits, not so pleasant; SD 604 - glorying the Lord

SD 597
. . . there are genii through whom the Lord governs people,
and He permits them to excite people for many reasons,
both for the sake of punishment and for the sake of the removal of evils.

There are evil spirits
who also excite the pleasure of sitting a long time in privies,
and of staying there beyond a stated time;
for devils are especially delighted with privies . . .

SD 604
Moreover, when I was in bed, before sleep overtook me,
I then heard a general singing of heaven around me
consisting of very many angels of the interior heaven,
and at the same time I was then in a visual glorying.
I heard that glorying which became audible;
at the same time it was general,
because I could perceive nothing
of what they were representing and singing.
It was told me that the whole heaven in thus manner
continually attributes glory to the Lord, and thus are glorying.
