1743. The condition of a person when controlled by spirits who constitute the outer skin

There came a number of spirits who make up the outer skin. I heard them approaching, all grouped together. And because they were so many as to outnumber other spirits, I was shown in this manner the state of mind with the kind of person who cares too much for his or her skin, which is the very condition of one whose mind is controlled by these spirits.
