1296. More about the black murdering spirit

Because that spirit [1293] could not be let down into one of those hells, he was left free in the heaven of spirits, and in fact quite high above the forehead, for in his bodily life he had wanted to become great. But before he did, he died-perhaps because he was well known, and was not of good character. And one's character shows itself to human society, no matter how much it is concealed.
