1118. Soon a spiritual life ensues, meaning that the soul is welcomed by spirits into their society-first by good spirits. This was depicted to me by a young person seated on a horse, but the horse's head was facing the zones of hell, where [the rider] was trying to guide the horse, but could not move it a step-in spite of every effort being kept in place.

A young person was portrayed because the soul at that time seems to have regained the flower of youth.
