2535. The difference between inward and outward spirits is such that when outward spirits are led into the company of inward ones, then the outward ones come into a dim state and almost into a state of sleep; for they are not aware of the inward spirits, except for their influence. It is as obscure to them as a state of sleep, yet to those who are inward spirits the state is mentally quite bright.
