Note 169 — TALE OF HARUN AL-RASHID AND ABDULLAH BIN NAFI’.[131]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
In Swedenborg’s “Arcana Cœlestia” we read, “When man’s inner sight is opened, which is that of his spirit; then there appear the things of another life which cannot be made visible to the bodily sight.” Also “Evil spirits, when seen by eyes other than those of their infernal associates, present themselves by correspondence in the beast (fera) which represents their particular lust and life, in aspect direful and atrocious.” These are the Jinns of Northern Europe.
