|description=Called by Occultists and Theosophists “spooks” and “shells”, i.e., phantoms from ''Kâma Loka''. A word invented by the great American Seer, Andrew Jackson Davis, to denote what he considers untrustworthy “Spirits”. In his own words: “A ''Diakka ''(from the Summerland) is one who takes insane delight in ''playing parts, ''in juggling tricks, in ''personating ''opposite characters; to whom prayer and profane utterances are of equi‐value; surcharged with a passion for lyrical narrations; . . . morally deficient, he is without the active feelings of justice, philanthropy, or tender affection. He knows nothing of what men call the sentiment of gratitude; the ends of hate and love are the same to him; his motto is often fearful and terrible to others—SELF is the whole of private living, and exalted annihilation ''the end of all private life. ''Only yesterday, one said to a lady medium, signing himself ''Swedenborg'', this: ‘Whatsoever is, has been, will be, or may be, that I AM.; and private life is but the aggregative phantasms of thinking throb‐ lets, rushing in their rising onward to the central heart of eternal death’ (''The Diakka and their Victims''; “an explanation of the False and Repulsive in Spiritualism.”) These “Diakka” are then simply the communicating and materializing so‐called “Spirits” of Mediums and Spiritualists {{etg-source|TG}}.
