Brognoli explainsin a very instructive way the extent to which the force of the formation of Devil-Egos can reach what is called the ideo-plastic, which means the excited sexual representation of the sexual organ.
“Having stayed in Venice in 1664, a Vicar-General of a Bishopric from the continent came toask me for advice about the following matter:”
In a convent, there was a nun who was inclined to voluntary fasting and abstinence. Apart from that, she enjoyed reading profane books about transformations like the ones performed by Circe and other enchantresses, as well as by ancient Divinities who transformed human beings into animals, birds, serpents and spirits.
One night the image of an extraordinarily beautiful young man appeared to her and while contemplating him in astonishment, he said: “Do not be afraid my dear sister”.
“Are you not the nun that loves fasting above all? Have you not given yourself whole heartedly to it?
“Well you must know that I am the Angel called Fasting and I come to you to thank you and correspond with equal love to yours.
“Before, I was the son of a king. During the years of my youth, in the years you find yourself now, I loved and gave myself up entirely to fasting, though my father became very upset and told me off.
“But I, paying no attention to any of his warnings, kept doing things at will, until one day, in anger, he expelled me from the palace. But the Gods that I venerated condemned such repudiation, received and transformed me into an Angel, giving me the name of Fasting. I was also given the faculty of adopting the form of a young man, as you see me now, and the gift of never growing old.
“I am also gifted with such mobility that in no time at all I can transfer my self invisibly from one part of the world to another, only revealing myself to those who love me.
“Thus, having been told by the Gods that you have given me all your love, I came to you to express my gratitude and to remain with you and serve you in any way you please.
“For this reason I have travelled all this way, let me then, sleep in your bed tonight,if you please. Do not be afraid of my company since I am a friend of chastity and modesty.” The nun, greatly pleased and seduced by this speech, accepted the Angel into her bed. The first night everything was fine, he did not move. However the second night, he began to hug and kiss her as a sign of gratitude and love. Never leaving her day or night, he admonished her never to tell her secret to her confessor or anyone else.
He served her with great fervor and diligence and followed her everywhere. Finally in the year 1664, approaching Jubilee Day, the nun suddenly felt very guilty and told everything to her confessor who advised her to present the matter in confession to the Vicar-General of the Bishopric, so that he could provide whatever was necessary in the purpose of liberating her from the devil. Thus, he came to me seeking advice”.
It is clear thatthe lascivious spirit Fasting was an EGO, so vividly projected by the nun, that it seemed a different person altogether.
Such an EGO had infact been gestated in the lower abdomen of the nun before the unusual projection.
“The Magic Eye of the abdomen”, charged with sexual substance is a formidable plastic intermediator. It is there where all repressed sexual desires (all unsatisfied desires), take shape.
