There are some very upright spirits who sense, almost gently, what others are like-not sharply, by brooding inwardly on their characters. And fairly quickly they declare that something is not good, not right, or all right, and often, "It should not be so, not like that, but like this," speaking out according to the various things they sense in others to whom they wish well. About the wicked, if they are with them, they do not express themselves in this way. These have an inner sense which was not sharpened during their life in the body by brooding thoughts. As little children they had been dull, so to speak, and hard to teach; but in the course of their life they had learned quite well on their own and from their own character about the goodness of a thing, though not so much about the truth of a thing. mI was also given to realize that in these spirits there is something childlike, a tender simplicity, giving them an ability to sense what is good and true. 1748, 14 Sept.n
