1843. Later, spirits were let into that same field who tried to make themselves intelligent from their own power, but the resulting condition of these was portrayed in their faces. They appeared sharp in the face, fairly good-looking, and wearing a pointy cap that went up to a sharp point. They did not appear as human faces, but like lifeless sculptures. This is the condition that field brings on spirits who try from their own power to bring themselves [into intelligence] and be spiritual from themselves.
