On this occasion he tells us that he was inspired to pronounce one of his most wicked and dangerous Masonic discourses.

Dear M.Kostka! Dynamite would lose its destroying power in his harmless hands.
At another function--but this was in a red lodge--he was overwhelmed by the presence of Lucifer, who elected and commissioned him to fight in his cause.

It was a moment of unwonted intelligence--these are his own words--and he agreed, so incompetence chose its minister, and Frater Diabolus again showed himself a short-sighted rogue, because has not his emissary converted and passed over to the makers of pilgrimages?

Kostka also at this time was so wicked as to be guilty of a pact, but he reserved two points, "the person of Christ and His mother." The reservation of these sacraments is not specialised as to its kind, but, _mon Dieu_, how distraught was Lucifer to be so palpably tricked by a _trente-troisieme_! Both these matters were, however, personal to the seer, and the lodges, whether red or blue, seem to have been quite unconscious that they had been entertaining divinity and demon unawares.
M.Kostka has, in fact, been distinguished from the common herd of Masons by many favours of Lucifer, and he has naturally been ungrateful, for which I admire M.Kostka.
In succeeding chapters he details at considerable length a variety of hallucinations which he experienced on the subject of Helena-Ennoia, and he has also had visions of Jansen, of a false Francis Xavier, a false Christ, &c., but his most important experience was that which he terms Penetration, commonly experienced in autumn seasons and during the mists and mildness of October nights.

On these occasions he was conscious of a curious extension of personality by which he seemed to enter into all Nature, and all Nature took voice and interpreted herself intelligibly to him.

After music came verbal communications, and then the apparition of forms, chiefly of classical mythology.
