1106. When the time has come when they must be brought into the company of the spiritual, and live a life like their bodily life, then for the first time, spirits come who attend the province of the outer part of the eye, or of the tunics that wrap around the eye. In fact, they are located between the left eye and the upper side of the nose, and seem to try to roll away the tunics or coverings from the eye, to cause it to see. This is a sign that the soul is about to come among the spiritual. These same spirits were also with me, and showed how they roll off the tunics so that the eye appears, but because I was alive, they tried, but could not. And so, when the membranes have been rolled off, the soul is granted the use of light.
